  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.

  Good Accommodation, Transport and Locations. Hikes could be more challenging than expected. Itinerary description didn’t always reflect options available. Plans changed often which caused confusion and some disappointment

  So a few issues on this trip. 1. Language barrier. 2. Guide had the biggest ego. Refereed himself as a Demi god. What an idiot 3. Guides left people on the trail. To fast and didn’t wait for the slower part of the group. Even though we were engorged to work as a team. Ya right. What a joke 4. Guide blames a guest for not being responsible enough for random Covid testing. 6. No communication in case of an emergency . I was told we would find a pay phone or satellite phones won’t get through the cloud cover. Ya right idiots. Air line pilots up in 40,0000 feet use satellite phone during lightning storms. Are you kidding me. With today’s technology. In other words a Mickey Mouse small company that I will never use and strongly not recommend Good luck if you pick these guys. A bunch of idiots.

  An excellent tour. The Canadian Rockies were amazing as was our guide, Rebecca Roman. She was fantastic in keeping the group at the right level of activity and seemed to know everything - even where the best stones were to use as seats when we stopped for lunch. As the two oldest members of the group we were concerned about holding up others on some hikes. She managed to encourage us to the point where we felt comfortable. A truly wonderful young woman. One complaint - the tour had us staying in Jasper two nights but we ended up an hour away in Hinton. This increased our driving time considerably and Hinton is not Jasper. A few dollars of compensation would be welcome.
