Good bang for the buck!!! Clarion hotel & conference centre for 4N was not a good one especially the old lady at their front desk. Good tour guides except for their very thick accent...hard to understand the words they’re saying. Excellen..t driver in Mike!!!Read full review
The tour was good and the places shown were very nice. However, few areas for improvement remain:
While our tour guide David was nice and helpful, his english could have been better. Many times it was hard to understand him.
Also, a lot.. of time (3-4 hours a day) was wasted bringing the tour bus back to calgary after day trip in Banff or Jasper - however, some tourists got hotels in Banff/Jasper, while we got hotel in Calgary. Not sure why we didn't get a hotel in Bannf/Jasper (aside from one day). So we spent a lot of extra time in the bus going back and forth. This could have been planned better. I understand the cost aspect but don't know why some tourists got better treatment than others?
The driver - Mike - was excellent.
The Clarion hotel in Calgary was older but ok for the price paid. The hotel in Jasper was nicer.Read full review
My only complaints are:
1) The Clarion Hotel & Conference Centre scored so low in my books. Maybe just 5 out of 10.
2) The Robson Inn didn’t have elevators. Difficult for seniors to carry luggage’s up their 2nd floor rooms thru the stai..rs.
3) Although aware from the start that this tour have many Chinese tourists, the two guides we had can speak English but not fluently as most of the time We (non-Chinese) can not understand the words because of their very thick Chinese accent.
Our bus driver Mike was great.Read full review
I have rated 3 stars because the itinerary which they covered could be covered in 3 days instead of 4 days they wasted much of time travelling to and from Calgary in that time we would have covered more places and clarionhotel was below sta..ndard
But the tour guides were nice they were right on time each day no problem with the guides.whatever they have told to delivered they delivered on the first day also they were on time to take usRead full review

The first tour of Calgary city was just a tour of the library and a music museum so for me it was not a tour of Calgary. The tour operator was great. It would have been better to know the intinary in advance to make a decision to go or not ..or at least to be able to be dropped of in Calgary then meet back in 3 hrs. Where my accommodation was in Calgary it meant a lot of early days and late nights I felt I was on the. Coach longer than I,was off it. Reticulous when every one else stayed where the tour was I then had a 2hr drive back to the hotel which was no where near any where you could go to eat.The hotel I was in at Banf was an inn not a hotel and it was old fashioned and tired and the breakfast room was not attached to,the inn also there was no lift. I just couldn't get up,the stairs with my case I had to ask for a room change on the ground floor which they could not do. It was resolved by them taking my case to my room and in the morning bringing it back down. Other than the tour of Calgary the rest of the tour content was good.Read full review
It was an awesome experience. We were Simply blown away by the beautiful sceneries. The glacier is the bomb. My husband,s big smile seeing the toe of the glacier is priceless. Thank you tours for fun and also to our very professional to..ur guides Jerry and Jess.Read full review
The tour is good except that I am surprised that the tour is conducted in both Mandarin and English when I have booked for an English speaking tour. The tour guide's English is not fluent and many a times since its conducted in 2 languages,.. Mandarin first followed by English, the description of the scene would have been passed by the time he translate to English.Read full review
The best part is, it has covered all beautiful places only in five days and at the same time it was not so hectic. But I was not satisfied with the tour guide. His information was not very effective and his English was not good.
