What people love about Coach / Bus Tours in Canadian Rockies
- Get Social: Canadian Rockies
I had a fabulous time. The tour group were great people and it was a very relaxed atmosphere. I think it was due to the tour leader who was very welcoming and knowledgeable about the tour area. This was my 2nd top deck and would definitely recommend them to anyone.
Trip leader Michelle Tepel was incredible, with an amazing sense of humour and patience personified! The participatory camping was an awesome way to explore this region with a food kitty enabling your budget to go a long way! The hikes, lakes, glaciers, snow-tipped mountains and amazing wildlife on this trip blow you away on a daily basis. Nothing like the Rockies! This is a must do trip!
Real Canadian Rockies
Driver Al was excellent as well, he assisted us off the coach and I felt very safe with him at the wheel. Where possible he pulled the coach over to allow us to see the wild life. Both were very helpful and communicated perfectly with all instructions provided being very clear. Russell’s knowledge of the history of the areas we visited was remarkable. His ability to make us laugh and interact with each other was very positive and encouraged a very friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to my next trip.
