Incredible!

5.00What an amazing trip! Spent 8 days touring the Rockies. Could have easily spent more time if I was able to. Corey was our guide - super knowledgeable, well organised and able to keep the group on track. Couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough to be able to visit the main sites of the Western Rockies. The scenery (especially the Lakes) was stunning
Amazing Rockies

5.00This tour surpassed all of our expectations. From the first contact with travel consultant Lisanne, we felt confident that this would be a great tour and weren’t disappointed. The itinerary included all the sites we wanted to visit and there was ample time at each site to take in the beauty of the Rockies; snow capped mountains. waterfalls, lakes and wildlife Accommodation was excellent and the group size of 20 was the perfect number to get to know everyone. The optional activities were reasonably priced and added value to the tour. Our guide was Corey and he was excellent. Corey’s knowledge of the history of the Rockies and the topography was amazing and gave us a greater understanding of the area. Corey kept us all laughing with his sense of humour and stories about historical characters, incidents that occurred, why the lakes are such an amazing colour, etc. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see amazing sites and experience the beauty of the Rockies.
Unforgettable Canadian Adventure!

5.00We travelled as a family of four and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide, Corey, was entertaining, knowledgeable, and overall great to spend time with. He truly made the trip so special. We were blown away by his storytelling and knowledge of all things Canada. The group of 20 that we travelled with was diverse with both ages and nationalities, which contributed to the wonderful, memorable experience we had. All accommodations and stops on the tour were great. We would highly recommend booking with Discover Canada Tours!
Bus tour BC and Alberta

5.00Great week on tour. Corey our driver / guide was incredibly knowledgeable, kept us all on time and did a great job. Group of 19 of us of varying nationalities. The only issue was that only received the information on the tour from Discover Canada about 3 days before we left from the UK, short time to work out what additional events we wanted to do, and only then after I emailed them direct, even though we booked through a travel agent. So unsure who slipped up with that really. But the tour was great and the company great.
Exceptional 8 day bus tour.

5.00This was a fabulous, reasonably priced 8 day, 7 night bus tour. The itinerary was extremely well thought out and offered great variety in sights and activities. The bus was very comfortable, as were the accomodations we stayed in. Our guide, Corey (with an e) was outstanding and provided detailed commentary about the regions we were visiting and incredibly helpful information about timing and what to expect each day as well as being patient and good-humoured. He also provided a flexible shuttle service to and from the centre of any town where our accommodation was not right in the centre.
As a solo traveller,a fantastic way to tour through the Canadian Rockies !

5.00I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We had a great group of people (19 of us) who got on so well and the tour guide (Corey) was an absolute superstar. Corey looked after us in every way possible and was informative and entertaining throughout the tour. All the hotels we stayed at were excellent and the bus was very comfortable. The tour moved at a really good pace and we visited all the essential must-see sites with a number of great inclusions (gondola ride and trip to glacier). This was an excellent cost effective option to driving or taking the Rocky Mountaineer ! And as a solo traveller, this was a great way to travel the Canadian Rockies.
Very recommendable trip and agency.

5.00A truly magnificent tour. The people were really very friendly, nice, and punctual. Hotels were very good. The guide Corey is friendly, pleasant, and kind; he provided us with a lot of information and recommended places. Truly a 10. Discover Canada Tours a 10 in kindness. I booked the tour in November, and Alejandra Bello has always informed me patiently and with great kindness. I have also done the whale watching tour and the Victoria tour with them.
Best time

5.00We had the best time! We didn't feel rushed and saw amazing sights. Corey was fantastic. He had great commentary amd stories. Would recommend this tour to everyone.
Just a small slice of Canada...I want to see more!

5.00The tour was amazing, I didn't really appreciate the amount of travelling we would do, spending many hours in the coach, but hey, that's Canada! There were frequent stops to see lakes, waterfalls etc. The accommodation was very good at all stops. One of the best parts of the tour was walking on the Columbia ice field at the bottom of the Athabasca glacier. Our driver and guide, Marcos was extremely knowledgeable and kept us well informed and entertained throughout the tour. His enthusiasm for his country as well as his willingness to go above and beyond was commendable
Best Rocky Mountain trip ever!!
