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 ..is 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
Wow. Wow! This tour was incredible and I highly recommend it. The lakes, waterfalls, wildflowers, Rockies were spectacular. The vastness and pureness of Canada’s wilderness is breathtaking! Itinerary is wonderful with lots of free time in.. the evenings. Hikes, shops, food or simply sipping wine amongst such spectacular beauty. Do you love to laugh? Meet new friends from around the world? Don’t wait to book this tour. Our tour guide Nigel was so warm, funny and knowledgeable about all areas we were in. Even jumped in almost every lake w whoever wanted to join him! He was fantastic. A ++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

Covers all the key attractions. Our tour group was about 22 people and was the perfect size. The hotels were also great.
The views and breakfast at the top of Sulphur Mountain (included as part of tour) was a highlight! Would also recommen..d doing the optional Athabasca Glacier excursion. Our tour guide and driver were superb! Five out of five tour!Read full review
Driver Will and guide Kira were the best. They were professional and went beyond to make the tour fabulous! Hotels were top notch and the bus ride very comfortable especially for my very tall husband. We are so glad that we choose this tour.. over the Rocky Mountaineer train. There was a great mix of people. Couples and solo travelers alike.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
My wife and I really enjoyed the trip. The majority of guests were Chinese (overall 18 participants that day), but our tour guide Gordon nicely managed to tell everything in Mandarine and in English. The trip was quite cheap compared to oth..er offers on can find, but it was still very pleasant. The tour bus was comfortable and not too big. The Icefield trip (which can be booked additionally) was quite interesting and a nice experience to have! I would recommend to book the optional Columboa Icefield Day with the Skywalk - otherwise the final part of the trip is just spending time at the tourist center (in Jasper Park), which I imagine is not very interesting for the 3.5 hours the stop will be there! On the way to the Jasper Park, there are multiple stops with very nice views, where everyone has about 15 to 20 minutes to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere. Jasper Park is definitely worth seeing!Read full review

The trip was amazing until unexpected at the end the driver asked for and collected a $9.00 per person tip which the full bus would have been about $200. We assumed the tip would be collected when we purchased our ticket. Luckily we had t..he money on hand. But the rest was done very professionallyRead full review
