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.

* Bottom line - our Travel Guide () and Driver () MADE THE TOUR an amazing experience for my wife and me. They were great, fun, informative, patient, flexible, always accessible. Best we have ever had.
*An area for improvement - require your door-to-door car service to and from airport to have verbal communication with your travel client to discuss names, phone numbers, location and timing together the DAY BEFORE PICK-UP. We never knew for sure that anyone was going to be at our house at 5:00 AM day of departure until 20 minutes before pick-up time. Very nerve-racking and absolutely
unprofessional.

Absolutely wonderful experience. Travel Director and Driver were top notch. Victoria is lovely and the Canadian Rockies are indeed spectacular. Nice group of people from around the world, everyone got along and had a great time. Some were worried about visiting Jasper after the fires last year but despite the widespread forest damage, it was still a highlight of the trip, especially the visit to Maligne Lake (with the boat ride and outstanding lunch at the historic lodge). Would absolutely recommend this trip.
