Amazing does not begin to describe this trip. It was hands down the best vacation I've ever been on. So many gorgeous sights! Our main guide, Becky was fantastic. A bubbly ray of sunshine who was always available to help in any way she could. I didn't have much interaction with the second guide, Diana, but my understanding is she handled a lot of the details and things behind the scenes. And given how smoothly everything went on our trip, she clearly did a fantastic job as well.Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Vancouver, or anyone local.

I went to Classic Rockies Tour with Discover Canada Tours. It's an exhausting tour, but it worths it. I had the chance to watch and enjoy gorgeous landscapes, including the Rockies, lakes, Ice-fields, glaciers, wildlife, and some add-ons to the plan.The best experience I've had in may life (going and walking through a glaciar) I had in this Tour.Also, the tour guide (Omar) leveled-up the experience, because he's kind and explained everything with the perfect words, he he made sure that everything was good, that everyone (even those who didn't speak English) could understand, that made the whole tour a much better experience.I'd go on another tour with him/them

It was a great 4 days spent driving through the Rockies. Gives you an awesome opportunity to get quite a bit in from the mountain ranges. The natural beauty was really astounding. Our guide Ian M. was not only knowledgeable but he was very engaging and made the trip all the more memorable. Keep it up with the dad jokes Ian 😀
