  So many breathtaking views throughout the trip, but walking on the Athabasca Glacier is an experience that will stay with me forever.

  Good, quick overview of key viewpoints. I would either extend the trip length to stay at least 3-4 days in Whistler, Jasper & Banff, or cut out Vancouver Island from the itinerary (too much time spent on transiting, ferrying, etc.) Our Guides were newbies. 1st time guiding this trip.

  This tour was not as advertised and was a poor value for the price paid. My husband and I spent $650 U.S. dollars a day for the trip (not including insurance) and it only included our lodging for each night and the van ride each day, NOTHING else was included. Our van driver stated he was mainly our bus driver and not a tour guide! We had nice accommodations on 5 of the 14 nights and the rest were just adequate. For 2 nights our cabins were on a very busy highway and we were kept awake by the road noise. No meals were included and we went to a grocery store on most days (sometimes twice a day) to pick up food for that day or the next. I personally go on vacation so I don't have to cook. We had breakfast in our room for at least 7 days since there was no restaurant in walking distance from our hotel. Our guide/bus driver was not knowledgeable on the areas we visited and often relied on the fellow passengers to give insight as to what to see. We wouldn't arrive to major cities until the late afternoon which meant the museums and tourist attractions were closing. We also stayed at least 45 minutes from the towns we were visiting for the day which meant early get ups and on the van to get to our destination. We did a lot of hiking, about 6 miles a day which was great but this was not considered a hiking tour (according to the description). The bright spot of the tour were the fellow passengers. We had a great time getting to know new friends. We also saw beautiful countryside and lots of wildlife. This lead to the "2 star" rating instead of a "1 star" rating. We have been on many organized tours and this one was definitely the worst we have been on. Your money can be better utilized using a different company.

  The additional cost of having to buy every meal substantially increased the cost of the trip. There were very few opportunities to reduce these costs. Daily travel times would have been useful in deciding whether this was the trip for you.

  Many thanks for your review. This part of Canada is fairly expensive unfortunately, although we do put average meal costs in our trip notes which are available on our website. Our Product Team will review the daily travel times to see if we can improve... Show more

  It was an amazing trip. There were so many wonderful sights and we covered a large area, giving us an impressive insight into life in British Columbia, the Rockies and the Pacific Coast. I would highly recommend it.
