What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Canadian Rockies
- Wonders of the Canadian Rockies
The price and the quality matched and I had enough freedom to choose my own activities. Just the right sort of tour for me.
- Canada and the Rockies
Joe made our awesome trip into a phenomenal trip. He's got such love and passion that he made it that much better
- Canadian Rockies Express
Itinerary was great, scenery was beautiful, and our guide was fun. I was the only male in the group with my wife and 11 other females and it worked out fine. Everyone was very congenial, and the diversity of the group added to the experience. Only thing I would change would be the accommodations in Vancouver. While the hotel was fine it was very far from the downtown and sights, so we spent most of our time the last day in the van in traffic. Overall, it was a fantastic trip.

Common stops include Bow Lake Peyto Lake and the Columbia Icefield with 15-45 minutes allocated for photos and exploration at each location.

What is the best time of year to take a coach tour in the Canadian Rockies?
Coach tours run most frequently from June through September when weather conditions are optimal and attractions remain accessible. July and August provide the best environment for outdoor activities though visitor numbers peak during these months. May-June and September-October see fewer tourists but less predictable weather.

Evening hours remain unscheduled after arrival at hotels between 5:00-7:00 PM. Some itineraries like the Discover Canada Christmas tour provide longer stops: 2-3 hours at Lake Louise and 90 minutes in Banff for shopping and dining. A TourRadar traveler on the Moose Travel Network tour reports: "You have good balance of organized activities and free time to explore on your own or join optional excursions."
