Fantastic trip lead by an amazing trio manger. Well worth the cost. Admittedly the west coast was a lot better than that of the east mainly due to the scenery which was present. Special stays in Whistler as a pod hotel and Banff as a chalet with friend made the trip that much more special. The feee time add ones were also really reflective of the areas we visited and appropriately priced. Would highly recommend.

I had the BEST time on this trip - we got to see so many amazing places and I met the nicest people! It was interesting to see both the East and West of Canada, both are quite different but fantastic! Our trip manager Maddy was amazing throughout our trip, she was so helpful and made an effort to get to know each person and their interests. The free-time add on options were great too! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking!

The trip was great. On the west side the activity caps werent good enough. I feel as tho if there is caps of 30 people the trip shouldnt be sold with 50+ spots. As you dont fly to the other side of the world to sit out of activities you came to do. All accommodation and food was great! Overall loved the trip
