Canada Tours for Experienced Travelers

I have told several people that even if they have only one more bucket list trip in them, this is the tour I'd recommend. From the beauty of the Butchart Gardens to the glacial lakes and towering Canadian Rockies, the experience was stunning. Our accommodations and transportation were top drawer! My personal peak experience (pun intended) was the helicopter ride, during which we viewed mountains and glacial fields up close. This was a truly outstanding experience!

There were many memorable experiences. I liked the cultural aspects the best. The trip through the Tribal Center, the Acadian experience at Grand Pres and the reenactment along the way from two people at the national park. Overall, we had tour time and time for ourselves. We visited the Citadel on our own time.

Everyone we interacted with was great! We would have enjoyed a little more free time and possibly a bit longer in PEI. We absolutely loved the island. It was a great trip full of history and scenery. The days on the bus were a little long but that was the trade for being able to see so much!

The tour was beyond amazing. Seeing all the beautiful scenery and wildfire was something I will never forget. Loved the Indian Reservation Camp we visited and speaking to the people. Their teenage daughter did a beautiful dance for us and made us Bison stew. The guides at Glacier National Park were great and slot of fun on the raft trip. Then they held a bbq for us which was great! However the layover in O’Hare airport was horrendous. I don’t think I would ever travel again with a layover.

The itinerary was well planned and paced, our group was 44 travelers (I prefer less for next time) but the activity levels were as advertised, the local hosts knowledgable and interesting and the weather was spectacularly perfect!

Niagara Falls were great. We also greatly enjoyed the Sugar shack. The only negative was the final dinner at the French Restaurant. The service was not good. If I had been by myself I would have sent my incredibly tough steak back to the kitchen. Our fellow diners at our table had to ask multiple times for simple things such as additional drinks, which they were completely fine with paying for themselves. Definitely not up to Collette standards.
