What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Canadian Rockies
- 6-Day Canadian Rockies Adventure Tour: Banff, Yoho, Kootenay & Lake Louise Highlights
We are very pleased with our tour experience and would recommend the six day/five night trip to others.
- 7-Day Canadian Rockies Tour: Explore Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay & Waterton National Parks
We saw so many beautiful places! The price value was good; We were very pleased with the comfort and appearance off the hotels. Our biggest difficulty was in understanding what the tour guides were saying. They had very strong Chinese accents, so we missed much of what they told us. If you had a recording of each trip spoken by a native American speaker, that eould make a tremenfous fifference.
- Rockies Classic Summer Tour
Enjoyed the tour and the Rockies beauty a lot. The guide and the driver are very knowledgeable, dedicated, nice and super patient with all the travelers in the group. Very happy that I finally decided to go and see the Canadian West. Thank you.
