Tour director Peter, was excellent Both Drivers Toronto and West coast particularly Nelson were very good. Train trip was excellent and food was very good. Could not fault the organisation and locations we visited. Accommodation was top level for money spent. Alaska trip was spot on except excursions were expensive and not too inspiring. Opted to organise our own excursions on 2 occasions, saved money and got away from the tour bum fight around the wharfs.Show more
