The Westbound Canadian Rockies tour was amazing and beyond anything I ever expected. The guide, locations, activities, sights between destinations, accommodations, logistics, and group dynamics were all spot on.
For any other first timers, please know that you don't necessarily need to plan your own transport to the optional activities. If several of the group are interested, the guide will take those who are interested.
We had a fantastic holiday with a great tour leader. The itinerary gave as a very good taste of Western Canada with so many highlights - mountains, lakes, waterfalls and sea inlets.
