This trip was for our 25th wedding anniversary and we've never been to Canada before. What an awesome way to see and learn about a country!!! If you like awesome scenery, getting out and experiencing nature, and learning about history and c..ulture this company is for you!
Our tour guide Meghan was organized, professional, friendly, and fun! She is an excellent driver and makes the traveling very fun. We were given a Bingo sheet of things to be on the lookout for which made it very fun. We had a small, friendly group of 10 travelers which also made it very fun! Our bus was very comfortable and Meghan kept it very clean. We got out to do short hikes and see beautiful waterfalls, so we got to stretch our legs. You are given choices of activities to do which are "a la carte." We did the gondola ride in Banff, the boat ride to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, kayaking on the Campbell River, and Buchart Gardens for our extras. Even riding the huge ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy was an amazing experience through the Interior Passages. We saw Bald Eagles in the trees along the way and everything was just so scenic!
We had heard about the passing of Queen Elizabeth at the beginning of our trip and when we were toward the end of our trip in Victoria we came into town at the very moment they had the bells tolling 96 times for her 96 years. We were able to pull over and participate in the solemn moment of silence with those gathered there at the Parliament building with the flags at half mast to honor the Queen. That was a moment in history that will never be repeated and that was very special. My husband and I toured the Royal B.C. Museum and loved it. The Natural History exhibit and the Climate Change exhibit were great. We loved the Train Time IMAX movie, as well. It was all about the train history in the US, and had wonderful music, scenery, and graphics. It made me appreciate trains in our world,
This was, by far, the best vacation I have ever experienced and am so thankful for the memories. At times the scenery is so breathtaking you can't take it all in. Canada is so beautiful and it is overwhelmingly beautiful. The people are so nice, and it is very clean. I am so thankful to Meghan and Discover Canada Tours for such an amazing, fun, and memorable journey! It was a trip of a lifetime!!! Look out for the Goats on a Roof!!!!Read full review
I booked this experience for me and my Mom. It took the stress out of figuring the travel logistics to get on/off the island and to the destinations she wanted to check out. I liked this tour because it was a smaller group and bus, there we..re 18 of us, and the group showed up on-time that we made it early to the ferry and had an extra hour in Victoria on a Sunday since there was less traffic. Our host was Rene who was fantastic with his knowledge of the area, jokes, and friendly nature. He makes a point to get to know everyone and looks out for us when it's time to regroup. He knew how to direct us towards our points of interest. It was a long day but everyone left happy. P.S. I am blind and an amputee and I felt comfortable and included throughout the experience. We also got to do a quick stop at the Terry Fox statue in Victoria which was amazing for me as an amputee which I didn't share at first with Rene!Read full review
Initially thought it might be hectic to travel 8 days tours but later after each day we are refreshed and enjoyed the tours. My only concern is that we are getting a notification a day before for the next day's plan. Was not happy for only ..1 day when we are coming back from Banff to Vancouver. That day we didn't see anything only the whole day like travelling. the driver was also tired and didn't go as per the itineraries. Rest all days nice and enjoyed a lot. Only food is a problem for Vegetarian people. Rest all awesome..Read full review
I was glad Phillip of Ctour was our driver and tour guide. He exceeded our expectations. Half of our group is English speaker and half Chinese. Phillip took time to guide our group in both languages. He is a good driver and was very ef..ficient to make sure we got to see all the sights. The food was great. Thanks PhillipRead full review

Brian Montgomery was the best tour guide ever!!! I would love to book another tour with him and not my other tour guide. The drivers need to relax more and stop driving aggressively
The sea sky gondola was down. That is one of the main reason why I booked the bus tour. as a gift for my son's 21st birthday. We live from another province, Saskatchewan. I can't cancel plans because we were in BC one day before the day of ..the bus tour. And I received an email saying they will refund me a portion of what I paid because of the cancellation of the Sea Sky Gondola. Where is my refund? When am I getting my refund?Read full review
The tour guide was prompt and very accomodating. The suspension bridge is really fun and we loved climbing around in the trees. The bears at Grouse Mountain was interesting to be seen around, the Salmon hatchery there was no bigger salmon's.. that I could see at this time of the monthRead full review
Miss information on the train booking. Promised sleeper three times but it was not true! Accommodation on the train poor. The Banff hotel was not cleaned each day as requested with specific notes ., food was good. Some of the stops were no..t long enough to do the walks planned. Use the wash room or do the walk but not both.
Driver/guide in the van were excellent days.Read full review
