    Many thanks for your review. This part of Canada is fairly expensive unfortunately, although we do put average meal costs in our trip notes which are available on our website. Our Product Team will review the daily travel times to see if we can improve this information.

  • V

    Valerie

    Asked on November 15th, 2025

    What food/meals, if any, are included in this tour? How many people on this tour? Small group? We are pretty fit 62 & 71 year olds. We walk 1-2 Km 3 or 4 times per week, sometimes daily. Is this tour suitable?

    Age Range
    Group size
    Meals
    • Explore!OperatorWritten November 2025

      There are no meals included on this tour. There's no breakfast on offer at most of the hotels, so the Tour Leader either arranges for everyone to go to a café, stop at a bakery, or organise a packed breakfast to take in the vehicle. We take a maximum of 16 passengers. Yes, our average age passenger is in their mid-sixties and this is a moderately paced tour. As long as you have a good level of fitness you will find it suitable.

  • K

    Kimberly

    Asked on February 27th, 2025

    We would like to include Rocky mountaineer in our trip. Is this possible?

    Tour Details
    • Explore!OperatorWritten February 2025

      As the Explore tour finishes in Vancouver, I am sure you can add a Rocky Mountaineer trip on after it. This is something we are unable to book for you I am afraid but the lovely team at Tour Radar may be able to assist you with that.
