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
Tour was great but age differences were possibly too great? Guide may have found it difficult to cater to everyone?
- Heart of the Canadian Rockies
Our tour director, Cheryl, and our driver, Roy, were both excellent! We didn't appreciate the short notice about the changes in our itinerary. We understand why the changes were made, but for whatever reason, we weren't notified in a timely manner.
- 4-Day Rockies Winter Explorer Tour
I highly recommend this tour company ! I went to the Rockies Mountain with Meghan and Cristina. It was perfect !
