What people love about Canadian Rockies Tours for Seniors
- Canada's Rockies (7 Days)
We had the best time and we thank you Virginia Woos
- Western Canada by Rail
Everything was perfectly organized for our convenience. Director was experienced and handled everything flawlessly. We really enjoyed the experience. Hotels were very comfortable. The only comment I would add that we had to get up very early to be at the bus between and 8. Then after having the excursion we had the whole afternoon for ourselves. I would prefer to get up later and finish daily activity later.
- Heart of the Canadian Rockies
The tour guide was very well organised and the guests were all considerate in doing as they were asked
