What people love about Canada Tours for Young Adults
- Coho - Explore Banff & Jasper National Parks
The entire trip was amazing!
- Caribou - Discover the Best of the Rockies
I really enjoyed the tour the only thing what I disliked was that it was pretty hard to understand Stephanie.. I think a microphone would be a great opportunity ;)
- Wapiti - Uncover the Beauty of Western Canada
The tour guide was very nice and did his best to arrange the tour according to our changing weather conditions. The tour is more a hop-on and hop-off tour, there you get to see the best sights in the area. You get a good impression about the national parks. There was a lot of space for additional activities like hiking, biking, or canoeing. The guide was new at the job and did not get much support from the tour organization. He was a bit left alone to organize the trip.
