What people love about Canadian Rockies Tours for Seniors
- The Canadian Rockies
A truly amazing and once in a lifetime experience! The tour director Tarek could not have been more organised or personable. Everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to think or worry about a thing! Neal the driver was of the utmost professionalism. A brilliant driver and true gentlemen. Cosmos should be proud of these two incredible ambassadors for their company. The accommodation was top notch and the frequent stops and the free days really helped us enjoy the experience at our own pace. The only suggestion would be to spend more time in the Rockies rather than go to Victoria, although Victoria was beautiful. This tour is definitely a great way to see the Rockies. Thank you Tarek and Neal!
- Glacier National Park & the Canadian Rockies
Our tour guide Mark Love was above and beyond my expectations. He was so organized, extremely knowledgeable and we could tell he loved his job. The tour was amazing with stops at so many beautiful locations.
- Canada's Rockies
It was a great tour, well executed!
