What people love about Alberta Tours for Seniors
- Canadian Rockies & Glacier National Park (2027)
Julie with Collette tours was so personable, informative and overall efficient . The tour was well organized and therefore ran smoothly--weather did not cooperate but no one to blame for that.
- Canada's Rockies
It was a great tour, well executed!
- Glacier National Park & the Canadian Rockies
Lynda Brown did a fantastic job! Gerard as our driver was also phenomenal. My only suggestion is to have a microphone for Lynda at the dinner on the last night. I could not hear Lynda or the cowboy poet.
