Tours of Distinction commented on this reviewThanks for sharing your experience Robert! We look forward to hosting you on another trip n the future.Trip date: July 2023 - AGary B.· October 24th, 2024Overall a great tour. The outings were fantastic, and meals were great. Our tour director Loretta made the trip a real joy. Her enthusiasm, ownership, and committed care for our group was amazing. For example, she went to great lengths to ensure we had breakfast on the last day before our very early flight. The only negative was the changes in hotels from those listed in the brochure. That put a wrinkle in our plans for free time and dinners.Show moreTours of Distinction commented on this reviewMany thanks for posting your fantastic review on Tour Radar!

- ABrian C.· October 24th, 2024This was a great trip. The only concern was the accommodations had changed from what was advertised and we stayed on the outskirts of Banff instead of close to downtown. If it weren’t for having to climb stairs to get to your room and also another flight to go to bed it is what I would consider below average. Other than that it was a great trip and the remaining accommodation were very nice.Show moreTours of Distinction commented on this reviewThanks for sharing your review!

Tracy
Asked on January 30th, 2025Seems there were problems for folks being able to get food as hotels were not in convienint locations? Also, the activity level is rated "Moderate" where as some similar tours rating is "easy". What about the trip is moderate?
Tours of DistinctionOperator•Written January 2025All our hotels are centrally located. The hotels on this trip are the Royal Canadian Banff Lodge, The Forest Park Hotel in Jasper, the Accent Inn in Kamloops and the Sheraton Wall Center in Vancouver. This trip is given a moderate rating due to the float trip on the Athabasca River, the walk on the glacier and the walks into a couple canyons (they trails are paved or planked).
