What To Expect

Your four-day excursion to the best of the Canadian Rockies begins early in the morning. Meet your deluxe coach at one of several Vancouver-area departure points and head into British Columbia’s extraordinary natural scenery. On the first day, visit scenic agricultural towns and even enjoy a winery visit and tasting before spending the night at your Revelstoke or Vernon hotel.

The next day, return to the bus and head straight to the UNESCO-listed Canadian Rockies; all-inclusive transit means you can focus on the scenery without worrying about the logistics. See Rogers Pass in Glacier National Park, visit Yoho National Park, and get up close and personal with the turquoise-hued Lake Louise: one of the most coveted landmarks in the region.

After a free evening and overnight stay in Banff Town, continue to Banff National Park and Jasper National Park. Admire glaciers and mountain lakes, and, if visiting during the summer season, upgrade to explore the Columbia Icefield or Skywalk.

Finally, after another night in Revelstoke or Vernon, you’ll return directly back to Vancouver in the late afternoon, with a stop at the historic city of Kamloop, and a local ginseng farm, en route.

    Brilliant tour.
    Brian_W, Sep 2023
    The whole trip was memorable. Lake Louise and the ice field were awesome. Also seeing the black bear close up was brilliant. Both Harry the driver, and BOB the guide were excellent, and knowledgeable.
    Terrible experience don’t bother booking
    LukiaBarbara_M, Sep 2023
    Terrible tour guide (Tom) who ruined the tour with his rudeness and pushiness. Tom was very focused on how much everything cost, how terrible each place was and what he didn’t like about things. Everything was very Asian focused (all meal plans were catered for Asian’s). Most dialogue was in asian.
    An experience not to be repeated.
    Lawrence_c, Sep 2023
    The worst part was when Tom actually demanded CAD 60 (CAD 120 per couple) - in cash - per person as tips for him and the driver. Totally Illegal and unprofessional. Actually, I want a refund of CAD 120.
    A scenic encounter
    Dechu_P, Sep 2023
    The trip was good. Good clean hotels to stay. Well organised. Just one thing that could have been better is the meal arrangement. It catered to the Chinese tourist only. The area where they stopped for meals could have been better for those who didn't choose meal plans.
    Wonderful trip
    Homero_A, Aug 2023
    Everything was wonderful ! We had a pleasant experience and we would recommend it to our friends and family.
    Very Rocky experience

    Miriam Jensen 09:45 PM Hello, I just returned from this trip and there are many things that I feel deceived about. 1. This stated an English tour guide. While Tom is a very kind person, understanding him was EXTREMELY difficult 2. I did not purchase the meal plan. Had we purchased it, all meals were Chinese buffet which was NEVER mentioned. Seems like whomever did not purchase the meal plan we were left to “figure” it out and our options were AWFUL! 3. Better planning would have helped on the first day. We were on the bus for FIFTEEN hours! Nine minutes from our supposed destination there was an issue with the reservation and had to drive an additional 1.5 hours to another location 4. I never received an itinerary so had no clue where we were stopping along the way and since myself and all the other English speaking guests couldn’t understand Tom, we really didn’t know where we were going Once again, Tom is a very nice man but I wouldn’t recommend this since MANY details were left out. The sights we visited were beautiful but we only had 3 hours in the town of Banff, in the evening when most things were closing This tour is good if you speak Mandarin and enjoy eating Chinese buffet for every meal. The lack of info would not make me recommend this tour
    Canadian Rocky Mountain tour
    Carmelina_O, Aug 2023
    Seeing all the beautiful sights, mountains, lakes and glaciers. Our favourite was Columbia Icefield attractions.
    Disappointed but loved the Rockies.
    Gary_A, Jul 2023
    Your advert stated Luxurious and Deluxe coaches, I am afraid what you call Luxurious and Deluxe is not what I call Luxurious and Deluxe. When we got on the bus we were told that we were NOT allowed to use the onboard toilet as it could become smelly, the tour guide did say that we would be stopping at wash areas we were also advised NOT to drink on board as drinking could mean using a toilet more, we were also told (not at the same time that we were not allowed to eat hot food on the bus not eat ice cream. The bus itself, for being Luxurious and Deluxe had zero amenities for being Luxurious and Deluxe, in face there was a damp area in the area around the and a noise came from the outside the bus, the drive jumped onto the roof and repaired it with Duck Tape I have supporting photographs. The driver himself was excellent and very professional, the tour guide was very knowledgeable. The Rockies them self are so beautiful. The hotels were amazing. Glad that we bought the attraction tickets. Glad that we didn't buy the meal tickets as they were mostly Chinese restaurants (nothing wrong with that its me, I like plane food), in fact they went to the same restaurant twice, which I thought was strange as we drove through plenty of places which had great restaurants.
    DO NOT TAKE this tour if you don't speak Mandarin or Cantonese - But beautiful scenery indeed
    Craig_D, Jul 2023
    The tour goes to the places listed and the scenery is dramatic and magnificent and worth seeing. The bus was comfortable. The hotels were clean and reasonably comfortable but not as high quality as I expected on a prepaid tour. Two hotels out of 3 had no elevator and all hotels had many rooms that required half a flight or a full flight of stairs to be covered carrying luggage - no aid was offered for those not wishing or able to carry luggage up and down stairs - at the mercy of fellow travelers for this help. Hotels did not have breakfast available on site. They offer a meal package that includes primarily Asian buffets, though some American/Canadian was available at some meal plan restaurants. If you didn't buy the meal plan, the guide didn't do much at all to guide you to find alternatives. The meal plan places cost $25 to $35 Canadian each for lunch and dinner if paid for without the meal plan - you could do that if you wanted to. Most disappointing was the tour guide language. The tour was listed as bi-lingual Chinese and English. The guide spent at least 3/4 of the time speaking Mandaran or Candonese, 1/4 or less English. And unfortunately we few English only speakers (maybe 5 out of 30) could not understand the guide's English accent well. We got about 1/3 of what he said in English if we worked at it. And gave up trying after 3 days. And the guide did not tell us as much about the natural beauties and wonders as we expected. Hours would go by without a comment while driving through beautiful places with fantastic sights. Little said about wildlife, trees, or stories of building of the railroad that was a big factor in settlement of the area. They also didn't provide any handouts with maps showing where were and where we were going each day. Maps are really cheap and nice - why not pass them out? We expected hours of good stories about the history of the locations while on the bus but were disappointed. Overall we are glad we saw the sights but disappointed in the other tour content and language especially. We have been on several other tours - day long and weeks long - all around the world and this was the least informative one per hour of any by far.
    Wouldn't recommend
    LaurieAnne_P, Jun 2023
    Beautiful views, once in a lifetime.experience. However, i asked for an english tour, and they mixed it with the mandarin tour. It's bilingual, but the guide has a huge chinese accent which makes it hard to understand most of the time. Also, all the meals aren't covered, which makes the bill go way up and i didnt plan this. Happy to experience it but I won't go back on one of those tours.
    It was a great...
    Tom_C, Jun 2023
    It was a great experience, all the places that we went are amazing 🤩 🥰❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. Highly recommended Tom our tour guide is excellent very informative ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    We waren met 4...
    Wilfried_S, Sep 2023
    We waren met 4 Westerlingen in een bus met 40 Chinezen de hoofdtaal was Manderijn en het Engels was van bedenkelijk niveau . Verwarming op bus werkte niet . Gids vroeg 20 CAD per dag om voorhaan te zitten . Alle dagen s'morgen , s'middag en s'avonds eten in aftandse Chinese restaurants Zeker NIET TEVREDEN !!
    Unfähiger und unhöflicher Reiseleiter
    Inge_H, Jul 2023
    Die Reise war landschaftlich beeindruckend. Die Hotels waren gut. Leider war der Reiseleiter sehr unfähig und unfreundlich. Er sprach ein sehr schlechtes Englisch und auch sein Manderin war unzureichend. Auf Fragen antwortete er unhöflich. Er sagte mir zum Beispiel, dass ich in Google nachsehen sollte ,um die Frage beantwortet zu haben oder ich hätte mich wohl schlecht auf die Reise vorbereitet. Ich hatte das Gefühl, dass er keine Freude und Liebe an seinem Beruf hatte und nur seinen Job durchzog. Die Meinung hatten auch die anderen siebzehn Reiseteilnehmer.Schon bei der Begrüßung machte er darauf aufmerksam, dass er das Trinkgeld am Ende der Reise nur in bar kassiert und dass der Bus jetzt nochmal anhält, damit die Reisenden sich im " Seven Eleven Laden " Geld tauschen können. Diese Tatsachen waren leider sehr schade und wirkten sehr negativ auf die Reise.
    Excelentes paisajes,...
    JoseManuel_B, Jul 2023
    Excelentes paisajes, excesivo el cobre de propina y consideró que tendríamos que conocer más lugares
    Bueno, puede ser mejor
    LorenaVanessa_B, Jun 2023
    Los paisajes son muy lindos, el hotel donde nos hospedaron y que luego regresamos, está viejo y un tanto sucio, dice que el tour está disponible en chino, pero prácticamente esta dirigido a asiáticos, pagamos el que incluyeran comida pero te llevan 3 días a comer comida china. Creo que hay ajustes por hacer para que fuera de excelencia.
    Delusione,!
    Guido_R, May 2023
    A parte alcuni dei posti visitati che erano bellissimi e interessanti per il resto 4 giorni di una noia e ore ed ore di autobus con un gruppo al 90% di Cinesi con guida Cinese con una pronuncia inglese terrible....incomprensibile.. Oltre tutto, per alcuni come me non Cinesi assolutamente lasciati alla deriva per quanto riguardava I posti dove pranzare o cenare. Solo ristoranti cinesi! In definitiva ed in generale una completa delusione. ..
