  My best friend and I booked with this company the Western Canada Iconic Sites tour which started Sep19. We booked with this company based on the destinations that were offered . The destinations did not disappoint and luckily the weather was super nice. However, our experience was greatly diminished due to several problems with the tour guide Corey and also the tour vehicle: The bus was way too uncomfortable for a 3000 km tour . It was more of a shuttle bus not a real tour bus.None of the seats reclined, the struts on the vehicle were worn out so we felt every bump in the road. The windows remained dirty so taking pictures from inside of the bus was nearly impossible. The air filters were extremely dirty and there was barely any space to sit comfortably for such a long trip nor were there trays to fold down. The tour guide Corey made this whole trip a horrible experience for many of us. He talked nonstop and shared personal anecdotes about his dating life and work experience which had nothing to do with the trip. He picked lunch stops based on his personal preference with no other options. Corey would torture us with his self picked music play lists which he played so loud that a conversation was basically impossible. He would play half a song then started to talk again about any and everything which would not give us time to enjoy some of the landscape. All of us in this bus were experienced travellers who came from all over the world, however he treated us like we were elementary school children. Constantly reminding us about how to dress, what bathrooms would look like etc etc. The bathroom breaks were ridiculously short. By the time some of us got out of the bus and stood in line to use a restroom we were bound to be late. He then proceeded to shame us in front of the whole group if we were one minute late. He demanded that all of us had to congregate and wait for him to release us during certain stops after already having shared over and over the schedule during the drive. I asked him why he treated all of us like children and he got extremely angry with me yelling and telling me “because he said so”. Then in front of the whole group he shamed me stating that I ruined the trip for everybody and that he was the one in charge. Many group members were upset with him and agreed with me. I understand that the guide has the day to day schedule and wants to make sure that we stay well informed but Corey took this to another level. He incessantly texted all of us about the same schedule and topics. It was so annoying that I turned his what’s up messaging off. We all paid a lot of money to be on this tour but this tour guide unfortunately ruined the overall experience for us. I know not everybody has this approach since several of us took additional tours with Discover Canada with different guides who would ask for group feedback. To summarize the destinations of the tour were amazing, the vehicle should be a real tour bus not a small shuttle bus for the distance travelled and the tour guide should be more in tune with the group and also ask for group feedback during the tour with regards to information sharing, schedule, etc. Thank youShow more

  A good choice for us. I'm thinking you will see more on (and from) a coach tour,than say the train or if you choose to self drive. Gavin (our coach driver) had was friendly and had good local knowledge and was willing to enhance each day with a little extra beautiful experience. The nightly accommodation were of good standard, and breakfast was included as well as one lunch. Being on an organised coach tour means that you will get a lot closer to the attraction when the driver has to find a parking spot (compared to visitors in cars and RV's), which is very handy. We felt that Discover Canada people do what they do very professionallyShow more

  The sites and scenery were amazing when not on the bus the reason I booked this tour by bus is because of the panoramic windows on a bus but I was wrong with this bus looking forward you can see the driver,tarmac in front of bus ,large black bus interior and a viewing window that was splattered with dead fly and wasn’t cleaned throughout the tour from this window you can see tops of trees and mountains and either side looking forward is large black interior panels so we passed all this amazing scenery but couldn’t see it just got glimpses out the small front side windows. Our tour guide Corey was very knowledgeable but sometimes to much information he would point out points of interest in front of the bus which was no good as we couldn’t see in front also he would speak to the group as though we were children the drive from whistler to Clearwater was a long drive I took 4 photos at the toilet stops as photography on the bus was impossible possible all this amazing scenery that we got glimpses of from the small side window Corey our guide said that the journey from jasper to Banff was the most scenic drive and that he never tires o the view that’s okay for him he could see it. Breakfasts except 1 was awful holiday of a lifetime ruined if I had known we were on this bus I would never have booked long journeys through amazing scenery and I was either asleep or playing a game on my phoneShow more

  Thank you again for sharing your feedback. We are very sorry that the coach viewing experience, breakfast quality, and elements of the guiding did not meet the expectations you had for this important trip. We understand that the front seating arrangement was provided as an accommodation and that you chose to remain there throughout the tour. While this was intended to make the journey more comfortable, we sincerely regret that the sightlines and window condition left you feeling unable to enjoy the scenery as you had hoped. We are reviewing how we handle similar requests in future, including ensuring guests are clearly advised of the viewing experience from any accommodation seating arrangement, offered suitable alternatives where possible, and that coach windows are checked throughout the tour. Your comments have also been shared with our operations and guiding teams. We truly regret the disappointment caused.
