We are concerned about cramped long travel hours and porterage since we both are 50+ and have some lower back problems. We are Ok with walking and stair climbing upto 3 flights with relative ease, and we do not need any mobility aids but since we have a long trip planned to Canada from India, our luggage will be with us and we will not be able to haul it in and out of hotels and cars/vans. We are OK to keep part of our luggage constantly in the vehicle if permitted. Do suggest a solution.

We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. Heavy luggage is not recommended for the health of the CEO, who will take a lead in loading the storage trailer. Due to space in the trailer, we will not be able to accommodate more than one piece of main luggage per person. A good size day-pack (20-35L) is also essential to carry your personal gear for the day, as access to luggage between destinations will be limited. We do not have porters for this trip.

I read in previous info with your company that it might be possible to add 2 days to our trip at either the beginning or end of the trip. I would like to be able to speak to someone from your company about that.

We can add post night accommodation at an additional cost however pre night accommodation is not offered.

Is there availability on this date and cost for a single traveler?

There is availability on 23 August, and we do have a My Own Room option available at an additional cost of $1,499 USD.

Is this price based on a private single room?

The price $3,099 USD is the sharing cost, should you wish to have your own room it will be at an additional cost of $1,499 USD, so in total the cost to have the single room will be $4,600 USD.

I have £75 G Adventures credit and past traveller 5% discount. Plus TourRadar £52 credit. Thank you

If the tour is already on promotion, then we can not add a second discount, it's one per traveller, per tour. We can add any travel credits however that are on our system.

wondering the average age of people attending? And also how much extra is it to book a room to yourself?

We don't have an average for this tour, everyone over 18 can book this trip and we have travellers from all ages across our departures. A Single Supplement is $2379 AUD.

Is this trip (Canadian Rockies Express) by train or bus?

Our Canadian Rockies Express tour is based on a private vehicle as the means of transportation.

Does gondola ride ticket cost included in Banff ? on tour cost.

Does gondola ride ticket cost included in Whistler ? on tour cost.

Would this be acceptable for the first day? I note the tour states that Day 1 you can arrive at any time.

Arriving at 8pm on DAY 1 will be fine! If you are arriving later and will miss the Welcome Meeting, your CEO will leave a note at reception for you with any information you may need, and with morning instructions for the next day.

This was my first solo trip and I had the BEST time! I?ve already recommended to lots of friends. It was great being able to visit so many beautiful places safely. A key benefit for me was that it was structured enough with the destinations and accommodation were all sorted yet you had the independence to do what you wanted in each location. I met some brilliant people! I?m already looking to book my next trip!Show more

One word to describe the tour is "illuminating." It was illuminating to meet and get to know the fascinating travelers and CEO, people from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, and the US. It was illuminating to see the beauty and natural wonders of the Canadian Rockies, to experience the people of the region and, importantly to me, the to get exposure to area First Nation cultures in a museum in Whistler. It was illuminating to me as to my place in life at my age. And it was illuminating to see how my younger daughter, traveling with me, socialized and made friends within the group.Show more

Jane
Asked on June 6th, 2026
We are concerned about cramped long travel hours and porterage since we both are 50+ and have some lower back problems. We are Ok with walking and stair climbing upto 3 flights with relative ease, and we do not need any mobility aids but since we have a long trip planned to Canada from India, our luggage will be with us and we will not be able to haul it in and out of hotels and cars/vans. We are OK to keep part of our luggage constantly in the vehicle if permitted. Do suggest a solution.

  We recommend using a backpack for your convenience, or a medium-sized suitcase if you prefer. Heavy luggage is not recommended for the health of the CEO, who will take a lead in loading the storage trailer. Due to space in the trailer, we will not be able to accommodate more than one piece of main luggage per person.

  Jane
  Traveler•Written June 2026
  Wanted to know if we can get seats up front to avoid back pain. Also, are there any hotels on this trip where we may have to haul luggage up the stairs, since no porters are available?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026
  We can make a note about the front seats mentioned, however, this is a group tour and each CEO handles seating arrangements on transportation at their own discretion, therefore it will merely be a request and you will need to speak to the CEO on day 1.
  
  As for the stairs in the hotels, it's not guaranteed. It depends on the rooms assigned to you by the hotels. We have no say on room assignments since it depends on the hotels' availability. We can request ground level hotel rooms only, but once again this will merely be a request and will need to be something you speak to your CEO about on day 1.

  We have two travelers looking to book this tour. Both are very fit and have no issues with walking. Could you kindly confirm if they are able to participate in this tour?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2026
  This tour is rated Physical Grading 3/5 (Average), making it ideal for travellers with a moderate level of fitness. Expect regular walking, easy to moderate hikes, sightseeing in national parks, and plenty of time spent outdoors enjoying the spectacular scenery. Most hikes are optional, and activities such as gondola rides, canoeing, hiking, rafting, and ziplining can be added during free time. While there are some longer travel days between destinations, the tour is not considered strenuous and is suitable for most active travellers. Therefore, you are more than welcome to book this tour.

  This tour includes 5 breakfasts and 1 lunch. From my count of breakfasts from the Full Itinerary, the breakfasts are included on Days 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Lunch is included on Day 4. The hotel may have the option to purchase a breakfast service or it may be a matter of the traveller "fending for themselves" while in-destination for breakfast.
