The Prairies Tours & Trips
The Canadian Rockies in winter means snow tubing at SilverStar, skating on Lake Louise when it's frozen over, and Banff exploring before campfire marshmallow roasts. Summer's different - Gastown walks, Clearwater Lake canoeing, Jasper trails, and whitewater rafting. The Prairies and Rockies region does seasons properly, and they’re both worth seeing.

Our guide Chris was amazing and he really made us all feel comfortable and looked after. He was entertaining and informative, and checked in regularly with each of us, to make sure we were getting the most we could out of the trip. And another shout-out to our driver, Yee, who got us everywhere safely and on time. The hotels were nice, breakfasts good, and we saw an awful lot of amazing sights in four days, and it was pretty well paced. My one reservation is I think the bus could have been a bit nicer. It was pretty basic—no wifi, and we were discouraged from using the toilet! Luckily we had regular bathroom stops! But all in all, I would recommend this tour, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Chris as your guide.

Great tour! I would recommend it! Highlights as follows: 1. Great Tour Lead Chris ensured everyone was comfortable, and he was fun, informative, polite/respectful! He is great! Great people skills! 2. Mr. Yee – our driver. Drove us safely and back! Could not have asked for a more skilled driver. Ace driver, given the varying road conditions with rain and snowfall we encountered. 3. Comments on the activities we did: 1. We did tubing for 2 hours before calling it a night in Vernon. Two hours were plenty to enjoy the stop. The activity was free to enjoy for everyone. Has the option to ice skate on a smaller frozen lake. Also for free 2. Day 2 in Banf – we did have the option to ice skate in Lake Louis. Optional at the cost of CAD 24.99. Spent a chunk of time walking to the rental store inside the chateau to registering and getting our skate shoes. After we got our shoes and were ready to skate, we had little time to ice skate and enjoyed the frozen Lake Louise. 3. We did have some time at night to stroll around Banf center 4. Day 3 – option to ski at Lake Louise Ski Resort (can rent ski clothing and equipment for a fee of abt $150~. The ski lift is $50-100. For non-skiers, they offered optional activities for a fee - e.g., snowshoeing/hiking in the AM and Gondola in the PM. You also have the option to go around town on your own at no extra cost. They give you plenty of information, and you can ask questions to decide what you want to do for Day 3. Somehow you could only pick one option. Wish they could allow doing more than one option, e.g., doing one AM activity and then doing a PM activity with no conflict in time. If you plan to ski, you spend your day at the ski resort until the bus comes and picks you up. You have to plan for how to store your luggage since you will go on a different shuttle for the ski resort. You may have to arrange to leave your luggage with someone in the group so it’s on the bus and you don’t carry it with you to the resort. The Lake Louise Ski Resort was top-notched! 5. We end day 3 in Golden. 6. Day 4 It’s pretty much driving back to Vancouver. Chris was great at keeping us informed/entertained for that long drive back. Props to Mr. Yee as well. 7. We did stop at two frozen lakes as bonus stops. One is in Banf, and the other is the Emerald Lake. It was almost magical at the time of the visit to Emerald Lake because it was snowing pretty heavily, and we were walking on a frozen, snow-covered lake! Beautiful! We had a group picture here. 8. Lots of driving, which usually is the deal with types of tours. I am used to this type of tour. I take this type of tour all the time. So be in that mindset. 9. Overall I enjoyed the tour a lot! I enjoyed this part of Canada! My first was on a frozen lake! So thank you! On a side note, a big thank you to Mr. Yee. He knew we were spending two more days in Vancouver and gave us the best tip on maximizing the 24-hour hop-off hop-on tour. If you care to know, here are his tips. 1. Go to Gas town first (on your own). Get your picture of the Steam Clock. Go there before the hour because, at the hour, the clock will whistle and will blow off steam. You don’t want to miss this. 2. After you are done with Gastown, you walk to Canada Place. It is only like 5-6 minute walk. You get your ticket there. You start the hop-hop-off tour here. 3. Then stop and explore for a certain amt of time: 1. Stanley Park, 2. Granville Park, and 3. Chinatown. Explore the other stops if you have time, based on your interest.
