What people love about Canadian Rockies Tours from Calgary
- 5-Day Canadian Rockies Adventure: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
Excellent everything was fantastic.
- Western Journey
The views on this tour are spectacular and make it worthwhile. The distances travelled by bus are in hundreds of kilometres and long duration. There were more than enough stops. Plenty of memorable photos taken. The additional tours to lake Louise the glacier and Vancouver Island are worthwhile but tours in Canada are not inexpensive. The hotels are more than adequate though the hotel in Kamloops is a little dated. Please be aware that you will in the main be living out of a suitcase. Our driver was doing this trip for the first time and took all the necessary steps to ensure that we arrived safely. More interaction from the guide would have been appreciated.
- Hiking in the Canadian Rockies
Great week..great people especially the two guides Jordan and Mikeala
