You see mountains. You see wildlife. You may even see those weird helicopters that suck up water to go dump on a wildfire. Absolutely smashing way to explore a somewhat remote part of Canada. Omar, our guide, was an absolute gem. Knew how t..o read the energy of the crowd, kept everything running smoothly, and was just a genuinely wonderful person. Only complaint would be how the company sells the add-ons. Either give us the option to prebook or invest in something like Square so the poor guide doesn’t have to manually type all the card information in over the course of 5 hours, because service is spotty at best in the Rockies, while contending with winding roads and sometimes difficult lighting conditions.
Overall, beautiful tour, saw everything I would’ve wanted to, other than an uncooperative Mount Robson. Whoever’s reading this, you should go, and if Omar reads this, thank you again for a great trip!Read full review
My family and I had a great time on the Rockies Summer Classic Tour by Discover Canada Tours. Chris was an excellent tour guide. He was organised, caring, approachable, friendly and entertaining and we couldn't have asked for a better perso..n to accompany us on the tour. The itinerary was also well put together despite the fact that we covered a lot of ground for a 4 day tour. The accommodations were also well chosen and the coach was very comfortable. The tour is also well-priced for all the inclusions we got from it. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would recommend it to friends etc.Read full review
It was an amazing Trip to the Rocky Mountains. There are many stops and it was always enought time to see the important things. We had a great time in the bus with Ryan. Ryan always told us fact about the next stops and entertained us durin..g the drive. My Highlights was to visit the Village Banff and the Athabasca Glacier.Read full review
Amazing experience with this tour, you discover the essence of Canada. Its Rocky mountains along with its lakes are spectacular.
The pace of the tour is adequate, maybe you spend a lot of time in the bus and the stops are quick, but there i..s not another way in 4 days to be able to see as many emblematic landscapes as possible.
Special mention for Becky, we have never had a guide like her: kind, funny, attentive, well organized, always punctual, patient... unbeatable. Thank you! Read full review
I took the Rocky Summer Classic tour with Discover Canada. It was amazing and fun trip. Omar and Rin made sure the entire trip was fun and organized. Along the way Omar also told us stories and facts about different places in BC and Alberta... To top it off, we also played Trivia. I will definitely take a tour again with Discover Canada.Read full review
Banff has been on my bucket list to visit. When I had the chance to visit Vancouver I really wanted to do a tour to Banff and I found Discovery Canada Tours - everything was so wonderful, from the initial email enquiry to the actual Canadia..n Rockies trip in April 23.
Our tour guides Omar and Gary were both excellent, knowledgeable and accommodating. The drives were long at time but they kept us informed and entertained. The driver Paul also shared great information along the way and many thanks for slowing down and stopping when safe to do so whenever we encountered Canadian wildlife. What a wonderful experience. Although it really did not occur to me beforehand that the lakes are all still frozen at the end of April, we didn't get to see the beautiful colours but walking on frozen lake and playing with the super soft and satisfying snow was also a great experience. I will surely be recommending Discover Canada Tours, and look forward to joining another tour with Discover Canada on my next trip to Vancouver. Thanks again.Read full review
An excellent fully packed four days. Stunning scenery, very good, comfortable, clean hotels, good breakfasts. Good coach and driver. Chris is a pleasant, informative and efficient tour guide and everything ran like clockwork. Value for mone..y!Read full review
This tour was near the end of the season. There weren't many of us on this day trip (may be 9). We travelled in a cramped 16 seater (not a typical 2x2 layout) which had barely any leg room. Luckily I was able to move to a better seat to str..etch my legs. The tour was as described with the exception that we only got 2.75hrs at the icefield rather than 3.5. So what could have been better?
Well, as we arrived the trip to the transfer to the glacier was in 15mins. This meant no time to do anything other than use the washroom. On our return we immediately got on to another bus to travel to the skywalk. The gap should have increased to give guests a chance to get a light lunch at the centre. Once the skywalk was over we travelled back to Calgary. Again, no chance to grab a light bite or visit the displays at the centre. The host was eager to get going and would only allow us to use the washroom. I am fortunate that I am bilingual so can understand the host but someone who only understood english would possibly struggle on this occasion.Read full review
