What people love about Alberta Tours for Seniors
Knowledgeable tour guide - excellent bus driver. Tour is well organized with free time and options when the weather changed the plans. Food was good and suggestions were good. Communication was last minute, meaning the week before with the details, which made our planning more difficult.
Canada's Rockies
- Great Resorts of the Canadian Rockies
Our tour guide was Jennifer - and she was superb! Her love for the area, the history and the beauty of this country was always on display. Her enthusiasm was infectious, still she was able to accommodate a diverse collection of needs from our group of 42. Jennifer was a delight. Your survey has a glitch - citing the guide, even with a name, does not provide any means of submitting that information. Very frustrating as the tour guide is the most critical feature of the trip.
- Rockies Premium Tour from Vancouver
Travelled in May 2026 & we were blown away. First time travelling to the Rockies & the scenery, places visited, hotels, everything was amazing. The tour guide, Ian, was extremely knowledgeable, funny & personable. The only consideration is long days in the coach, which for 1st time coach travellers was the only 'down side', but doesn't take away from the fact that we would highly recommend this tour.
