Budget Tours to Canada
Picture this: you're standing at Lake Louise and the water's unbelievably turquoise. The Canadian Rockies throw everything at you, from skating on frozen lakes, soaking in Banff's hot springs, and hiking the Icefields Parkway where every turn reveals another mountain. Vancouver's Stanley Park stretches along the waterfront, while Victoria's Butchart Gardens burst with color. Are you ready?

What people love about Budget Tours in Canada
- Canadian Rockies: National Parks Eastbound
The 2 week camping tour of BC and Alberta was absolutely amazing. Marco was a fantastic guide, great cook, very friendly and knowledgable. He created an atmosphere that facilitated the entire group getting along and having an enjoyable time together. I'd highly recommend the tour and Marco as guide to anyone. Thanks for a great few weeks!
- 4-Day Canadian Rockies Summer Explorer Tour
The itinerary was awesome, well planned and we visited some great places. The bus was very comfortable and the driver was excellent. I thought I had only booked for one night with shared accommodation so was a little disappointed that it was all 3 nights! The food was a bit average but very well organised. Jordan was amazing, his passion and enthusiasm were contagious. His knowledge is very impressive. He made a long drive very bearable and lots of fun.
- Ontario & French Canada with Ocean Train to Halifax (10 destinations)
This was our first tour and we enjoyed it very much. Tour guide Scott and driver Shaun were great, the only downside was when we got to Halifax after our long train ride, there was a lady who met us but our transport was not waiting for us and we had to wait a while whilst she organised taxis to pick us up to take us to our hotel.
