The 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

The tour was amazing although there was a lot of driving with frequent stops to see lakes, waterfalls etc. The accommodation was very good with one exception which was a run down motel in Jasper which should be dropped from the tour. For us the highlight of the tour was walking on the Columbia ice field at the bottom of the Athabasca glacier. Unforgettable! The thing that made our tour exceptional was our driver and guide, Corey. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us well informed and entertained throughout the tour. His enthusiasm for all his country has to offer was second to none.

A bucket list trip ticked off with gold stars. What an amazing 8 day road trip. If you are looking for a well organised, small group tour I strongly recommend Discover Canada Tours. We scored the perfect host - Corey - our bus driver/tour guide. Corey's experience and knowledge shone through ensuring all guests were catered for. Guests enjoyed Corey's well researched commentery, shared banter and well-choosen play lists. A great group of people coming together as strangers and going away with lasting memories. Beyond awesome. Thanks Corey for faciltating the perfect trip.

Brilliant way to see a LOT within a short period. I just finished the 8 day tour with our driver guide Corey leading our small group on an epic adventure. Vancouver, Whistler, Clearwater, Jasper, Banff, Kelowna and back to Vancouver. We went through 5 National Parks and saw so many stunning glacial lakes, mind blowing - the colours were insane. Corey's knowledge of the history and background of everywhere we went was a bit terrifying. Didn't matter if we were driving through a pass, over a bridge or through a random town, he was a wealth of knowledge and his love of this area was obvious. We had a small bus group of 11, and I was travelling with a friend. Would highly recommend.

I am reviewing the Western Canada Iconic Sites Tour that my husband and I undertook between 12-19 July 2025. If we could give this tour 10 stars we would. It was absolutely amazing from start to finish. It was a pleasure to book this tour with Lisanne S from Discover Canada Tours. She was a pleasure to deal with and very responsive to my many emails. From the moment we met our driver and guide Will S at Canada Place we knew we were in safe hands. He was an amazing guide and equally important to us a competent and safe driver. No mean feat when you are driving a heavy vehicle and negotiating jam packed car parks (as most were) while we were visiting all the beautiful tourist destinations in the Rockies. Will was personal, approachable, flexible, helpful and very knowledgable. It was so interesting listening to him on the mic as we drove through the Rockies hearing of the details and history of the places we were driving through. He often would say that he had 'brushed up' on the information he was giving the previous evening. Now that's dedication. We were a small group of 9 which made interaction with him very easy. It was nice that he interacted with us all socially as well. We enjoyed lovely dinners together and he is a mean 'dice game' player...! We were lucky to have great weather on our tour. But the one day that it was a bit drizzly, overcast with low cloud was the morning we were due to go up the Banff Gondala. As we met at the appointed time in the foyer Will said he just had to make one phone call and we would be ready to go. Turns out he called the Gondola people and asked if they could move our trip to the afternoon when the weather was due to clear. What a considerate thing to do as we wouldn't have been able to see a thing had we gone up at the appointed time. That meant we had a couple of hours free. But instead of letting us loose in Banff to do our own thing he kindly drove us round on a little sightseeing tour - marvellous. Another example of his kindness was when half the group were going on a wildlife evening tour in Jasper. He took those that weren't on the tour to a another beautiful lake for an hour or so. Just so they weren't sitting at the hotel. The accommodation on the trip was fabulous. The only thing to mention is that the hotel in Banff (Canalta Lodge) is listed as 'centrally located' but we wouldn't call it so. It was at least a 15 minute walk into the main area of town. It was a lovely hotel and we enjoyed our stay - but it might be prudent to remove the 'centrally located' statement from the itinerary. All the other hotels were definately centrally located and of a high standard. My husband and I will remember our tour of the Rockies for a long time to come - our photos don't do them justice. We have wonderful memories of the places we visited and the great group of people we had as our travelling buddies. It was special being part of such a small group as we were in a smaller vehicle and able to get into some of the spectacular falls that the bigger coaches wouldn't be able to. Will advised that it was his first time visiting a couple of them also. Cudos to the Discover Canada Team for taking note of the suggestions of previous passengers and extending this tour for an extra day and to Will in particular for making this trip one that we will remember for a long time. He is an absolute delight and a credit to your Company. Liam and Sally Canberra, Australia

A trip of a lifetime! Ryan was a fantastic tour guide. He is the coolest he loves his country and respects the culture. I loved the history and the stories. Everything we did was an unbelievable experience. Thanksgiving in Canada was a special perk. I highly recommend this tour company.

This was a truly enjoyable tour with so much to see and do. Chris the guide was a fabulous bundle of energy, knowledgable and helpful at all times. Charles the driver was a real laugh but utterly professional at all times as well. We travelled with a great bunch of people and overall throughout enjoyed both an excellent adventure and company. Will definitely use this company again when we come back to Vancouver. Highly recommended.
