Nature is all around you, from Lake Louise in Banff National Park to the Icefields Parkway in Jasper National Park. And don't forget about the Northern Lights in Yellowknife or Churchill. But what about city life? Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto have their own special vibe. Ready for Canada?

This was a rewarding, enriching, and exciting experience for me. The tour is well put-together and there's a lot to see each day. The hotels are a little far out of the city core but I suppose that's to keep the cost down. The drivers are very careful, skilled, and knowledgeable. They act as tour guides in addition to driving. I chose several add-ons - the Columbia Icefield, Banff Gondola, and Maligne Lake cruise. These were very special places to visit for me and added to the enjoyment of the trip. I also chose the lunches as I was travelling solo and found that I liked having them as part of the tour. The lunch at Lake Louise was especially a memorable one and Lake Louise a truly spectacular place. Whenever I was concerned about anything prior to or during the trip and I contacted the office, the staff responded immediately and I found them to be very efficient and helpful. All in all, a great tour! Kudos to all the staff at TourRadar!

Manar • traveled in July
Overall it was a very good experience. The tour is organized and the entire team were nice and helpful. The tour was great in the sense that you get to see a lot in a few days which is great. You also get explanation and details of every spot. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in discovering the Rocky Mountains. The only thing I would change is to exclude the Vancouver part, if you are going from TO I advise to go strait to Calgary and start the tour from there. We did the 5 days excursion from TO to Vancouver then to Jasper, Banff …Calgary. And we had a flight delay going to Vancouver of 2 days so arrived on the same day we had to head to Jasper and that was very exhausting. In conclusion, it’s a great tour to consider and totally worth it :)

Best tour companies for Canada tours
For anyone looking at small group experiences, Fresh Adventures stands out with their guide Alex who really gets what travelers need - you can tell from how our guests keep talking about the personal attention they receive. While Intrepid Travel does solid work with well-planned routes and experienced leaders like Evan, they're a bit more structured in their approach. I'd skip TourRadar's coach tours right now - their customers have been pointing out some real issues. The schedules feel too rushed, and you never quite know what you'll get with the guides. Some are great but others... not so much. Quality seems to bounce around quite a bit. What makes Fresh Adventures work so well is how they handle the small group dynamic. Their guides actually adjust the pace and activities based on who's in the group, which is exactly what you want when you're traveling with just a handful of people. It's that kind of flexibility that makes such a difference when you're exploring somewhere new. Intrepid's got their system down pat, no question there. Their tour leader Evan knows his stuff and the itineraries are clearly thought through. But if you're specifically after that more intimate, personalized feel, Fresh Adventures has really carved out their own space in that department.
Best places to start your Canada tour
Most Canadian Rockies tours start from Calgary or Vancouver, with each city launching about 33-34 tours every month. You can also begin your journey from Toronto, Halifax or even Whitehorse if you'd like to see more of Canada along the way. Our booking data shows it's smart to plan about 4 months ahead (114 days to be exact), especially if you're thinking about a summer trip when those alpine lakes show off their richest colors. Many of our experienced travelers prefer September for smaller crowds and lovely fall colors, or June when wildflowers fill the valleys. Winter trips from December through March are perfect for ice walks, skiing and spotting wildlife, though you'll find some hiking trails closed for the season. Spring brings its own charm - you'll see animals emerging from winter and waterfalls rushing with melting snow.

The Northern Lights tours really shine during Canadian Rockies winters, with the 3-night Whitehorse trip being a guest favorite. You'll spend evenings at a private viewing camp where mulled wine by the fire makes the wait for the aurora more enjoyable. Days fill up with dog sledding and ice fishing excursions. Another solid option pairs Rockies exploration with Aurora viewing in Peace River and ice walks through Maligne Canyon's frozen waterfalls. Our winter wildlife trips around Jasper National Park let you spot elk, moose and mountain goats against snowy backdrops. The 10-day winter route includes Johnston Canyon ice walks, snowshoeing at Sunshine Village and also warming up with hot cocoa at altitude. For extra comfort, we offer an intimate tour staying at Fairmont properties while exploring Banff's winter landscapes, including horse-drawn sleigh rides by Lake Louise's frozen edge.

Spring in the Rockies brings melting ice and wildlife emerging from winter. Our Calgary-start tour takes you through Banff where early hiking on Tunnel Mountain reveals the first wildflowers. You'll see the impressive spring melt at Bow Falls, Athabasca Falls and get Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with fewer tourists. Many travelers choose to add Yoho National Park when Takakkaw Falls hits its strongest flow from spring thaw. The coastal option combines mountain visits with Vancouver Island's gardens and whale migration season viewing. Spring photography tours are particularly special - you'll capture snow-capped peaks mirrored in partially thawed lakes and baby wildlife in valley areas.

Summer's long daylight hours open up more options in the Rockies. The Clearwater Lake camping and canoeing trip tops our list - you paddle to hidden beaches where the water's clean enough to drink. Our dedicated hiking tour includes the Lake Agnes Tea House and Plain of Six Glaciers trail, with guide Jordan getting praise for matching routes to group fitness levels. The classic summer route takes you onto ancient ice at Columbia Icefield and around Maligne Lake for bear and elk spotting. Active types love mixing whitewater rafting on Kicking Horse River with mountain biking in Whistler. For those wanting more comfort, we offer mountain lodge stays while visiting all the key lakes, including afternoon tea at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

Fall brings golden larches and less crowded trails to the Rockies. Our premium autumn tour uses the season's clear skies for Sulphur Mountain gondola rides and watching elk during rutting season near Lake Minnewanka. Many guests choose the five national parks tour including Waterton Lakes, where autumn colors double in the crystal water beneath snowy peaks. The classic fall route covers Banff and Jasper along the Icefields Parkway when crowds thin but views peak. September photography tours are especially popular - you'll get Moraine Lake and Emerald Lake shots without summer crowds. The luxury option includes premium hotels and drives through Rogers Pass when alpine larches turn bright gold.

How can I explore Canada's best National Parks, and what makes each one special?
You'll love Banff National Park it's actually Canada's very first national park from way back in 1885 and still the most visited today. The turquoise waters of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake are absolutely stunning and you can't miss staying at or at least visiting the historic Fairmont Banff Springs hotel. If you're heading to Jasper National Park you're in for a treat with its massive 11,000 square kilometers of wilderness. The Columbia Icefield's ancient glaciers are incredible and Maligne Canyon drops an impressive 50 meters deep. The wildlife viewing along the Icefields Parkway is amazing - you'll likely spot elk bighorn sheep and if you're lucky even grizzlies. Yoho National Park lives up to its name which means "awe" in Cree with the spectacular 254-meter Takakkaw Falls the fascinating Spiral Tunnels railway and Emerald Lake's crystal-clear waters surrounded by the stunning President Range.
What's it like riding the luxury trains through Canada?
The Rocky Mountaineer's GoldLeaf service is really something special you'll travel in style between Vancouver and Banff/Lake Louise in a bi-level glass-dome coach. The food is exceptional with executive chefs preparing gourmet meals and you can step out onto viewing platforms for amazing photos. You'll spend a night in Kamloops cross the incredible Rogers Pass and follow the historic Canadian Pacific Railway route through Kicking Horse Canyon. If you're looking for something more intimate there's the SilverLeaf service with a single-level dome car and locally-inspired meals served right at your seat.
Where can I find Canada's incredible wildlife and what animals might I see?
Your best bet for wildlife spotting is in Jasper and Banff especially in spring when grizzlies are active. You'll often see black bears near Maligne Lake mountain goats love hanging around the Columbia Icefield and elk are pretty common right near the town centers. The Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper is fantastic for wildlife viewing particularly early morning or evening. If you're heading to Vancouver Island's coast you can watch for orcas from May through October and summer's perfect for spotting humpback whales. Want to see moose? Head to Maligne Valley in Jasper and in winter the Bow Valley Parkway's great for wolf watching.
What Canadian dishes should I make sure to try during my visit?
While poutine's the classic you've got to try Alberta's renowned AAA beef at Banff's Grapes Restaurant or get adventurous with local elk and bison at the Fairmont Banff Springs. When you're in Vancouver make sure to visit Granville Island Public Market for fresh Pacific salmon and if you're there in May or June try the local spot prawns. Don't miss out on Nanaimo bars if you're on Vancouver Island grab some maple taffy at a spring sugar shack and definitely try bannock bread - it's a First Nations favorite you'll find at indigenous-owned restaurants throughout the Rockies.
What's the best way for me to get around Canada based on my style and budget?
If you're looking for luxury the Rocky Mountaineer's the way to go with dedicated hosts and guaranteed wildlife sightings. Premium coach tours are great too they've got expert guides and can get you to tricky spots like the Columbia Icefield. Love independence? A self-drive along the Icefields Parkway lets you discover hidden gems like Peyto Lake and Bow Lake whenever you want. Watching your budget? Intercity buses connect major destinations and you can always mix and match different ways of getting around to get the best of both worlds - convenience and experience.
