It was my first trip alone, it was so easy and I immediately felt at ease. It was a great way to discover more of Canada and go to the best places with the help of CEO recommendations due to local knowledge.
I had a fabulous time in Canada. Especially our CEO Mel made the trip fantastic. Three weeks full of adventures. It's hard to say what I liked most but seeing whales and bears in nature was very special for me.
Our Canadian adventure was fantastic. We chose this tour company as they offered small group tours and we are glad we did. Being part of a small group allowed us to have flexibility.
The 11-day Inside Passage and Rocky Mountains tour was an amazing experience. Our driver/tour guide Meghan was excellent and looked after us very well.
How does one start describing this experience? Truly nothing short of extraordinary! 11 days going from the Interior, to the Rockies, Northern BC and then down to the Island from North to South, it was honestly a month's worth of traveling ..and adventure. There was a lot planned but there was also enough time to do additional optional activities or just have free time to explore. The planning and break down of the trip was top notch! Our guide and driver Meghan did an excellent job sharing knowledge and information, making sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they need, planning for stops and drive throughs at the most amazing hidden gems. She has set the bar high as to what a tour guide should be like! The bus we travelled on was spotless and cleaned every day and was extremely comfortable. This was such a great experience that we're already scouring the site for our next trip!Read full review

Great value for money. The support from Jennifer at head office to reconfigure end of trip helpful as well. Thanks for memorable holiday in the west.Read full review
A long (+3,000 kmn) trip but in thoughtfully planned segments and with frequent stops to walk a trail, visit a cultural centre, or enjoy either down time or an optional extra activity. Meghan, our guide/driver, was outstanding: skilled, rel.. iable, dedicated, constantly attentive, yet wrapped it all up in good humour and fun. She created an atmosphere to which we all responded. This trip is a good choice for people who are themselves good-humoured, patient, and both interested in and respectful of the natural world and the First Nations people who are so deeply woven into it allRead full review
This trip was for our 25th wedding anniversary and we've never been to Canada before. What an awesome way to see and learn about a country!!! If you like awesome scenery, getting out and experiencing nature, and learning about history and c.. ulture this company is for you! Our tour guide Meghan was organized, professional, friendly, and fun! She is an excellent driver and makes the traveling very fun. We were given a Bingo sheet of things to be on the lookout for which made it very fun. We had a small, friendly group of 10 travelers which also made it very fun! Our bus was very comfortable and Meghan kept it very clean. We got out to do short hikes and see beautiful waterfalls, so we got to stretch our legs. You are given choices of activities to do which are "a la carte." We did the gondola ride in Banff, the boat ride to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, kayaking on the Campbell River, and Buchart Gardens for our extras. Even riding the huge ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy was an amazing experience through the Interior Passages. We saw Bald Eagles in the trees along the way and everything was just so scenic! We had heard about the passing of Queen Elizabeth at the beginning of our trip and when we were toward the end of our trip in Victoria we came into town at the very moment they had the bells tolling 96 times for her 96 years. We were able to pull over and participate in the solemn moment of silence with those gathered there at the Parliament building with the flags at half mast to honor the Queen. That was a moment in history that will never be repeated and that was very special. My husband and I toured the Royal B.C. Museum and loved it. The Natural History exhibit and the Climate Change exhibit were great. We loved the Train Time IMAX movie, as well. It was all about the train history in the US, and had wonderful music, scenery, and graphics. It made me appreciate trains in our world, This was, by far, the best vacation I have ever experienced and am so thankful for the memories. At times the scenery is so breathtaking you can't take it all in. Canada is so beautiful and it is overwhelmingly beautiful. The people are so nice, and it is very clean. I am so thankful to Meghan and Discover Canada Tours for such an amazing, fun, and memorable journey! It was a trip of a lifetime!!! Look out for the Goats on a Roof!!!!Read full review
