They were always happy and insisting about taking our picture at scenic sites and making sure we felt included. Emily was very helpful with helping us feel like a part of the group.

7.3-Day Canadian Rockies Tour: Yoho & Jasper National Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 3 days (approx.) · from $883

Raimond is named as one guide. Two hotel nights and breakfasts are included, while lunch, dinner, and major optional activities cost extra.

“The Maligne cruise was the best and weather was also great, so that impacts the overall experience. I wish that there were lunch options available to purchase at the beginning of the tour. It seemed to be dependent on which company we used for booking. It was always a scramble trying to find lunch with very limited time for all 3 days, whereas some people in the group had prepaid options even before the tour started. So some of us felt left out alas we were not even asked to opt in to this option. Please try to make it equitable for all the participants.”
