We have mixed experiences about this tour. First of all I'm mentioning bad onces & then I will cover good parts.
Bad Experiences:
1. 1st Day Hotel experience is really very bad. The Clarion Hotel in Calgary City having lot of problems lik..e - water logging in bathrooms, mal-functionl AC, very rude behaviour from font desk staff, making delay in alotting rooms though there wre plenty of vacant rooms are there and we already booked rooms in that hotel a month ago.
2. Transportation from Calgary Airport to Clarion Hotel was very problematic as the authorized Cab driver as well as Hotel Front Desk staff were not co-operating for re-imbursing the money initially. We got the money after we had round of escalations with Hotel Management & Tours4Fun.
3. We have prior experiences in travelling with a tour group where personally we didn't checkedin the hotel. But, in this scenario, first 2 days, we have seen this issue where we need to show all details and enquire about our hotel resevations. There was no Tours4Fun or Wester representative to handle that.
4. 4th day's lunch was just a disaster. There are lot of resturants in Jasper town with ecomonical options for meal/foods. But, not sure why they had booked for a Korean Resturant(Kimichi House) with extremely bad-tasted-soup-only-meal. We were not able to eat this. And they were not providing altenate meal option also though it was already paid by us. They should understand that the meal option should be acceptable to generic people and not for a specific region. Even most of our chinese travel-mates also could not manage to eat that bogus meal. Wester/Tours4Fun also not refunding that meal money for both of us.
Good Experiences:
1. Bus coach driver Paul & Tour Guide Lisa were really good & friendly. They were showing and explaining the places very descriptive ways.
2. Lunch at Fairmont Spring Banff Hotel was just awesome.
3. Hotel Voyeger Inn at Banff & Athabasca Hote at Jasper town are good hotels and nice arrangements in rooms. Though both of them are lacking elevator as they are very old & refurbishes recently. The sceni views from them just breathtaking.
4. Breakfast bouffets are good in all 3 hotels - Clarion at Calgary, Hotel Voyeger Inn at Banff & Athabasca Hote at Jasper town.
5. The places where we went for visting all are superb and gorgous. I can't explain their beauties in words.Read full review
It was great fun. Very well managed and well paced over the 4 days. Hotels were great (except Clarion), food was great.. Most importantly, we had a great tour guide (Lisa Rong) as well as a very courteous driver (Paul) with Westar. Lisa rea..lly went out of her way to take care of guests and some of our personal requests specially on the food menu. The driver Paul was very knowledgeable - he knew the mountains and lakes and certainly a great story teller.Read full review
just finished doing the green line tour. it was fast-paced and the heat wave certainly made it more exhausting. i have no complaints though, and the places we went to were all worth it. Special shout out to the best tour director ever - G..ENO CHEUNG. he showed genuine concern for our safety and welfare. Geno took the extra mile on a lot of occassions. to cite a few examples, (1) thought of seating arrangements in the bus to avoid potential conflicts; (2) he gave up his room & shared he room with the driver so that the family who got bumped off will remain in the same hotel where the group was staying; (3) he arranged for a small train in Pisa to avoid the long walk under the sun, and he even took it out of his paycheck! (4) he booked the best local tour guide for the walking tour in Rome. these are just a few examples. i can see how passionate he is with what he is doing. he also has good rapport with the driver. his personal experiences and witty comments made the long journeys more bearable. it really felt like Geno treated us as his family. would also like to show my appreciation to our driver, Wotnjie (apologies if i mispelled his name). truly thankful and truly satisfied. kudos to Geno & Wotnjie!!!

One of the holiday inn express hotel we stayed in didn’t have airoxsitioning. The succeeding hotels has also problems with air conditioning that some of us had to transfer rooms. Hotels also were far from city. The only saving grace was ..the tour guide LEX. Very knowledgeable and funnyRead full review
Accommodation was very good and our tour guide was very thorough very knowledgeable about the countries history. Enjoyed the tour tremendously except a lot of walking.
Hotels were nice and tour guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Was not sent the e-tickets so I had to contact Tours4Fun after waiting two weeks to get them. Would have been easier to book through GoEuGo directly as they were able to answ..er questions directly and accurately. I understand why it can be difficult but knowing which hotels we will be staying at even a couple days in advance would be nice. Buses were clean and comfortable, the only complaints being lack of Wi-Fi and lack of USB ports to charge phones even though we had a bus we were told had only been in use for 10 days.Read full review

This tour is exceptionally cheap and for the price , it is really reasonable. You will not get any tour cheaper than this. Tour guide will also help you avail of the cheapest available food and souvenirs to think this is a C2 level tour gu..ide. Only downside was chaotic first day but it was also explained that first day is dedicated to gathering everyone coming in and out of the country. Over all you can’t really ask for more given the price of this tour. Thanks.Read full review
