The tour was great, accommodation great. We opted to buy our lunches in advance and the one that truly disappointed was at the Discovery Centre at Athabasca Icefields - we had burgers that were barely edible! It would have been better to have a premade sandwich of some kind than that. Both my wife and I felt sick after eating it - unacceptable. The guide was Allan and the driver was John, both of them extremely helpful, informative and friendly.

Maria • traveled in September
Overall very good hiking and sightseeing tour. Nice group of people, 10 with the leader 11. Happy with accommodation, breakfast and facilities where we stayed. Good to travel in a spacious and air conditioned coach. The places we visited and hiked were mostly amazing. What let the experience down slightly is insufficient time allocated for the long hikes for slower but fit hikers like myself. There were at least 2 others who struggled with the same problem. We could have done with another hour to allow for more frequent and slightly longer breaks. Then we could have completed the longer and tougher hikes. As it is we had to stop before reaching the top as we were exhausted. It is very important when hiking mostly steep routes (where it is up and up and up) all the time and there are older hikers 60+ but fit hikers to allow more time and longer breaks. They cannot be expected to keep up with much younger fit hikers! The tour is advertised for ages up to 80 but it would help if more was done to accommodate older, fit hikers.

Really awesome! I enjoyed it immensely plus our guide Jay was so accommodating to everyone's personal wants to the tour. Also he's really versatile and knows exactly how to time everything so we're not bothered too much by the tourist rushes. It was so great. I'm so happy I went ^^

What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours & Trips in Canada
When is the best time to take a fully guided tour in Canada?
The prime months for Canadian guided tours span June through September when temperatures are most agreeable. The Canadian Rockies reach their peak in July and August bringing pleasant daytime temperatures and fields of mountain wildflowers. September offers a quieter experience with rich fall colors while winter tours (December-March) focus on snow-covered landscapes and aurora viewing opportunities. A TourRadar traveler recommended: "We went in September and it was perfect -ff and Jasper and far fewer tourists than peak summer."
What are the main benefits of taking a fully guided tour in Canada?
Guided tours in Canada take care of the complex logistics while providing local expertise across destinations like Banff Jasper and the Canadian Rockies. A professional guide manages all travel details from transport to bookings at properties like the Whistlers Inn in Jasper or Banff Aspen Lodge. They also arrange activities from glacier excursions to wildlife spotting. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The Canadian Rockies tour was amazing! Our guide was friendly informative and had a great personality. We saw all the big sites and the team was so accommodating when things didn't work out due to weather."
How far in advance should I book a fully guided tour in Canada?
The most sought-after tours particularly during summer months (June-August) reach capacity 6-12 months before departure. Rocky Mountaineer journeys through the Canadian Rockies typically fill a full year ahead while winter tours offer more flexibility for last-minute bookings. A TourRadar traveler suggested: "Book at least 6 months ahead for summer tours to get your preferred dates and accommodations especially in popular areas like Banff and Jasper."
What's typically included in accommodation on fully guided Canada tours?
Tours generally feature stays at upscale hotels and lodges in central locations. Guests might find themselves at the grand Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel nicknamed the "Castle in the Rockies" or wake up to lake views at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hotels were all excellent quality and perfectly located - from the Sutton Place in Revelstoke to being right on Banff Avenue allowing easy access to restaurants and shops."
What should I pack for a fully guided tour in Canada?
Mountain weather calls for versatile clothing layers including a waterproof jacket warm fleece comfortable walking shoes and smart casual attire for evenings at premium hotels. One TourRadar traveler advised: "Even in summer bring warm clothes for the Columbia Icefield and early mornings at Lake Louise plus nice outfits for dinners at the Banff Springs Hotel." Photography equipment proves essential for documenting the landscapes at spots like Moraine Lake and the Icefields Parkway.
How much does a typical fully guided tour in Canada cost?
Tour costs range widely based on duration included features and travel style. Daily rates typically fall between $250-500 USD. A week-long Trafalgar Rockies expedition averages $492 USD per day covering hotels transport and most meals while an 8-day G Adventures journey runs about $375 USD daily. One TourRadar reviewer mentioned: "While not cheap the value was excellent considering the quality of hotels like the Westin Calgary and the included experiences."
