    • I had a blast! Mother nature threw rain, mosquitos and an aching hip my way, but all I have are fond memories of this adventure. Marge and Louie were well organized, keeping us informed of the itinerary and (mostly) on schedule while having the flexibility to adapt to unexpected things like a highway closure or the group wanting to go for beers after a day of rafting and adventure. The food was a great balance of healthy and comfort food meals - the bison burgers were a bonus. The hikes were amazing! I like how they made adjustments depending on the group's fitness level. The option to go rafting on the last day was a great addition to the adventure. I live close enough to the mountains I could do a lot of these hikes on a weekend trip, but I would definitely book again with Fresh Adventures just for the added experience they provided.

    • Great trip! Our guides, Jeremy and Laurie were amazing… because we arrived a couple of days after the Jasper fires they worked hard the whole time to adapt the plans to avoid smoke and fires around us. Their cooking was on another level - very healthy and we even had a fondue one day, up in the mountains!

    • Loved the rafting, the views from the bus, the food and enjoyed a bit more downtime than was planned in by skipping one of the walks.

    • Tour guide was excellent. Not happy with your advertising as it really is only 5 days of sightseeing. Some hotels were a distance from places to eat.

    • Right after booking this tour I realised it was 20% cheaper on the tour operators website. Not only was the tour itself $700 more on tourradar but even the optional extras like the banff gondola were more expensive, which is shocking. Noting this I wouldn't recommend booking with tourradar. The tour itself was quite nice. The Banff and Lake Louise areas are amazing and hard to get wrong. The tour guides were quite friendly and helpful. Note that this isn't a regular tour. It appears to be a daily grouping based on different bookings. So we were on different buses and had different people on the bus depending on the day.

    • This was an excellent way to tour the four national parks. The guides were knowledgeable and were remarkably fluent in at least three languages. A well organized business but some internal communications had glitches. The accommodations provided were better than expected. We bought the lunches which were adequate except the Lake Louise luncheon which was the best. We found the value for money spent was very good. All park entry fees were included, many daily sightseeing spots and good transportation included. Bowen was our favourite guide. He had a greater understanding of the country and more local knowledge. We were a visible minority on our tour but we were able to say that we are proudly Canadian!

    • Overall: Overall, the Canadian Rockies are spectacular. All of the people in our group were fun to be with, and we made some great friends. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, patient, and flexible given the physical abilities (or inabilities) of the members of the group and tried to tailor the tour to accommodate as many people in the activities as possible. My issue was with Intrepid's misrepresentation of the physical activity level rating, the inaccurate pricing of optional activities, the required travel insurance policy, the sub-par lodging, and the labeling of the trip as a Northern Lights trip when there were only 2 nights out of 10 listed in the itinerary that gave us an opportunity to see them. Lodging: The hotels were sub-par. The Metterra in Edmonton didn’t have a functioning hair dryer and the TV didn’t work (during the SuperBowl) The Holiday Inn Express in Slave Lake didn't have a functioning fireplace in the lobby, where we gathered to eat dinner. It was cold as it was adjacent to the front doors the were constantly opening and closing. The TV in the breakfast room and where we met to eat take out dinner was on a political station and the volume was loud. The person working at the front desk stated that the remote control had been stolen, so we couldn't turn it off or adjust the volume. The Lake Louise Inn had disgusting carpeting that we didn’t even want to walk on with bare feet. The Rundlestone Lodge in Banff did not have any food or drink options in the hotel and we had to walk to another hotel to get our included breakfast. The breakfast at that hotel was also sub-par. The eggs were powdered eggs. The bread, bagels, and pastries were all stale and hard. Everyone had a room where the window looked DIRECTLY into the pool area. It was noisy with kids screaming at the pool. One of the members of our group had to pay to upgrade her room, so she wouldn't have to hear the noise from the pool area until 10:30 PM. Intrepid Activity Level rating: Intrepid listed this physical activity level rating as a 2/5, which is one step above sunbathing. It said that the activities were easy and no prior physical fitness was necessary to do most of the activities. First, many of the activities were done at higher altitudes than most were accustomed to, which makes any activity more challenging. Second, walking on ice, hiking on steep mountain trails, and snowshoeing in deep snow require a much higher level of fitness than casual walking. Itinerary: The itinerary was labeled a Canadian Rockies and Northern Lights tour. There were only 2 nights listed on the itinerary (in Slave Lake) that there was even an opportunity to go out to see them. The northern lights and weather conditions are unpredictable, so it should not be listed as a “northern lights tour” unless there would be an opportunity to see them every night. The tour guide had drive time restrictions and couldn’t take us out every night to remote areas to get the chance to see the northern lights. On an Iceland tour, we had our lodging (with restaurant and bar) in remote areas with minimal light pollution, so I could set my alarm a few times throughout the night to go outside to see if the lights were visible. The quality of northern lights can change on an hourly basis and it is not reasonable to expect to stay outside in a remote area without light pollution all night to see them. All the hotels we stayed at had significant light pollution preventing us from going outside the hotel to check the quality of the northern lights. Don’t label it a northern lights tour. It was a Canadian Rockies tour. Slave Lake activities: The ice fishing listed as a possible alternate activity was never discussed. No one said the lakes were safe or not safe for fishing. It was not discussed as an option at all. Snowshoeing was also listed as an activity at this location, but was not given as an option. Jasper activities: Walking on ice in the Maligne Canyon was challenging and risky for people who aren’t physically fit. There were a few people that had to skip the grotto for fear of injuring themselves by going further. Similarly, on the drive along the Icefields Parkway, none of us were able to hike all the way to the toe of Athabasca Glacier due to the level of fitness required. Lake Louise activites: Difficulties with the level of fitness required also impacted the hike at Johnston Canyon. Some people struggled but managed to make it to the lower bridge, but many could not go further due to the fitness level needed to hike up the steep trails. Snowshoeing was offered as an option and one group member had to insist to go snowshoeing here, since the terrain was flat. Otherwise, it was also not included as an option. Banff activities: This was the snowshoe hike at Sunshine Mountain. Despite it being listed as an option twice before on the itinerary, this was the first day we went as a group. It was challenging to say the least. Half of the group were not able to participate due to the level of fitness required that was misrepresented in the tour description rating. The next day the grotto ice walk was listed, but not offered and instead we went on a hike. Optional Activities: There was a SIGNIFICANT discrepancy of the prices listed for the optional activities on the tour description and the actual prices. It seems the prices listed by Intrepid were pre-COVID prices and had never been updated. I understand if there would be a minor difference in prices, but they were 40-70% higher than Intrepid quoted. Here are examples of the activity and price per person. Dogsledding (an anticipated highlight of the trip, which we ended up not going on due to price): Intrepid price $200 CAD and actual price was $315CAD. Lake Louise Sleigh ride: Intrepid price $37CAD and actual price was $52CAD Lake Louise Ice Skating including hockey stick: Intrepid price $20CAD and actual price was $29CAD Banff Hot Springs: Intrepid price $8CAD and actual price was $17.50CAD Travel Insurance: I have the AmEx Platinum card that has very good travel insurance coverage. Intrepid forced me to buy a separate policy stating that I needed a “policy number” and not just claims made coverage that my credit card supplies. I had to pay an extra $174USD to get travel insurance when my credit card already covers travel insurance. Then I found that one of the guests in our group used her credit card policy and did not require a separate travel insurance policy to go on this trip. That was infuriating! White Mountain Adventures: White Mountain Adventures was coordinating this trip and I felt they were at a disadvantage to plan a trip when the Intrepid itinerary and physical activity level was misrepresented prior to the trip. Scott, our tour guide, was very kind, knowledgeable, patient, accommodating, and flexible to try to meet the expectations and physical abilities of those on the tour.

    • the trip overall was good but a few things to be aware of: The Edmonton Sky shuttle has not been in service since 2020! You must take a taxi. The guide was surprised that we were told to schedule extras through her and by the time the trip started, much of what we wanted was already booked out. You must book the extras yourself. Neither intrepid nor tour radar does this. this was unclear in all the communications. you can't talk to a tour radar person. on line chat is fine if you are not in a hurry for answers. That aside, the guide was knowledgeable, pleasant, and worked hard to give all tour participants an extraordinary time.

    • Absolutely the best tour director I have had (Mark Love) on any of several different company tours. He was extremely knowledgeable, had an excellent plan for us each day even while riding on bus. He was the most considerate director and even had appropriate songs for the day - a nice surprise and opportunity to reminisce. The places Globus planned for visit and stops were fabulous. Mark even suggested addition sites for our free time that were spot-on! Fabulous hotels and meals.

    • I had a fantasy time with Timberwolf. Our guides Eren and Valentin were super enthusiastic, really accommodating and very helpful. If an obstacle arose they made sure that the group and had some great alternative hikes or activities and they came up with some great ones. The only reason it isn’t a 5 star review is that the tent equipment wasn’t really fit for purpose. They were showing a lot of wear and tare with not much ability to keep things dry if the heavens opened. The ground sheet/inner was soaking up all the moisture from the very unprotected corners. A little bit of investment in camp equipment would make this a top notch tour company.

    • Overall very good hiking and sightseeing tour. Nice group of people, 10 with the leader 11. Happy with accommodation, breakfast and facilities where we stayed. Good to travel in a spacious and air conditioned coach. The places we visited and hiked were mostly amazing. What let the experience down slightly is insufficient time allocated for the long hikes for slower but fit hikers like myself. There were at least 2 others who struggled with the same problem. We could have done with another hour to allow for more frequent and slightly longer breaks. Then we could have completed the longer and tougher hikes. As it is we had to stop before reaching the top as we were exhausted. It is very important when hiking mostly steep routes (where it is up and up and up) all the time and there are older hikers 60+ but fit hikers to allow more time and longer breaks. They cannot be expected to keep up with much younger fit hikers! The tour is advertised for ages up to 80 but it would help if more was done to accommodate older, fit hikers.

    • Do not travel with this company! We booked both the Rockies tour and Washington/Niagara/ New York tour many months ago. Upon confirmation we booked our flights from Australia. Five weeks before the trip , they canceled BOTH trips with no explanation , leaving us with $10k worth of flights and hotels that we no longer need and can’t cancel.
