What people love about The Prairies Tours
- 5-Day Vancouver to Rockies VIA Rail Adventure | Vancouver Departure
Good tour overallAll personnel very accommodating
- Canada's Rockies (Base, 8 Days) (8 destinations)
Our time on the Canadian Rockies tour with our guide Ben Hutchinson was magnificient. Ben was well organized and kept us on a great schedule. Each site that we experienced was more stunning than the last. All of the added excursions that we did (hike to Edith Cavel glacier, river rafting in Jasper and gondola ride in Banff) were experiences that we will never forget.
- Rockies Summer Classic Tour
Great tour! We really made the most of each day and had a blast with the guides. Would do this again in a heartbeat such a beautiful place.
