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
- 4-Day Canadian Rockies Summer Explorer Tour
Firstly, the company is very responsive and helpful with regard to multiple inquiries. For the same, I'd like to thank Benjamin. The tour was our highlight of the trip and literally the only thing that turned out great during all the rainy days of our holiday. Despite the weather and activity changes/cancellations, the itinerary was so well planned and timed that, along with the natural and magnificent beauty of all the places seen, it was amazing! It obviously may have been even better had it been better weather/summer, but the fact that we still were able to enjoy and appreciate the beauty, I'd totally recommend it! The bagged breakfasts were also good, in my opinion, unless you are expecting something grand like bagels/pancakes/coffee etc. It's bagged, and getting fruits/yogurt/bars/muffin/juice/etc is good enough in my opinion. The hotels were good too (again, considering you are just sleeping there for a night), and the company made sure to make good arrangements when there was a sudden issue with one. Our driver, who was also the guide, Luke, gave us a bit of history, recommendations, and was very considerate--whether about people sleeping, elders needing legroom, requests, weather effects, etc. He was also always on time and reachable. Everything was "alright, alright"! (In case you have him--he's also an actor and a sound producer!) Thank you everyone for giving us a good experience and memories!
- Heart of the Canadian Rockies
Beautiful scenery. Excellent tour director, well arranged trip.
- 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.
