What people love about Alberta Tours for Seniors
we had yet another great experience on a Trafalgar Tour. The Canadas Rockies Tour was fantastic, made extremely enjoyable by the knowledge and helpfulness of our Tour Director, Ben Hutchison. His willingness to help in any way was a major part of the success. that coupled with his love of Canada, and his way of imparting knowledge to ensure any journey or visit was happy and enjoyable was terrific. our tours with Trafalgar have highlighted that your Director makes the tour, and we have no hesitation is saying Ben did just that We have gone so far as to send the link for this tour to our friends so they have the opportunity to experience Canada in the way we did
Canada's Rockies (7 Days)
- Canada's Rockies (8 Days) (8 destinations)
We did the Canadian Rockies tour and were the last tour of the season. The trip was fantastic. Our tour guide Ben was fabulous, very knowledgeable and great fun and made the trip. Saw amazing scenery and had a blast.
- Great Resorts of the Canadian Rockies
Our tour guide was Jennifer - and she was superb! Her love for the area, the history and the beauty of this country was always on display. Her enthusiasm was infectious, still she was able to accommodate a diverse collection of needs from our group of 42. Jennifer was a delight. Your survey has a glitch - citing the guide, even with a name, does not provide any means of submitting that information. Very frustrating as the tour guide is the most critical feature of the trip.
