What people love about Canada Tours for Seniors
- Majestic Rockies
1- The plan of the trip was fulfilled 100% thanks to our guide Brad and to the group who were ALWAYS very punctual so everything could be done. 2- The optional tours are very expensive, however, have we not taken them, that would have meant too much free time on our hands in places we don't know and activities we have not prepared for. The tour itself is not cheap and I think some of the activities that were offered as optional this time, should be added to the original plan as part of the tour. 3- Hotels - The first hotels were great , and taken into consideration that the tour was very costly, their standard was satisfactory. however, the two last hotels were definitely sub-standard. In Banff we had no air conditioning, no refrigerator in our room and a special one had to be brought in. It did not really work well. Why do I mention this specific detail? In my registration forms I specifically mentioned that my husband is diabetic and that we are traveling with Insulin injections which must be refrigerated when we reach our hotels. I was promised that there would be no problem. However, in more than one hotel a special unit had to be brought to our room and that only after requesting it. Why? All the details were known, why did we had to go through this embarrassment? It is not that easy for my husband to have his illness announced publicly time and again..(.I know from the group that another lady had the same problem...) those days, when there are such dramatic climate changes, have us stay for two nights in a wooden cabin with no air condition is next to impossible. You must remember that the whole group (33 people) were retired middle-aged people. That is very difficult for us. You must change your plan of hotels, especially the ones at the end! 4- Brad was excellent., very helpful, kind, very professional . He and the driver Gerard were an exceptionally good team. 5- The bus was very good, clean, safe, air conditioned and Gerard drove very cautiously and safely. 6- The route was great and we had a very memorable trip. Thank you.
- The Canadian Rockies
Our tour guide was really nice, had a lot of interesting informations and the apartments were okay. But the tour should be longer (2-3 days), because you need more time to visit Banff, Whistler and Jasper. And there should be more opportunities for excursions - more offers (wild watching, Lake Moraine,..). Also should be there more time to take photos at the photo spots.
The trip was wonderful the director was amazing Sheryl was her name Trevor excellent driver II will use them again as my tool guide aint too a guide I highly recommend them to anyone taking this tour or any touring candidate
