My family and I had a wonderful trip touring the Canadian Rockies thanks to Ian and Natalia at Discover Canada Tours. The summer premium tour is the perfect balance of time seeing all the Great Lakes, mountains and glaciers. Ian went above ..and beyond to make our group comfortable throughout the journey. He’s an excellent driver, comedian, storyteller and a very patient and helpful problem solver. When my father accidentally forgot his cell phone in Banff he helped suggest how best to get it couriered back to their office in time before we leave. Natalia his assistant was also very lovely and helpful assisting us with all our questions. The Summer premium tour had us stay in the best accomodation- Mike Wiegele, Mount Royal and Sutton Place were all incredibly comfortable and a pleasure to stay. Would not hesitate to recommend DiscoverCanada tours if you are looking for the best way to see all the sights in Canada. Thank you Ian!!Read full review
It’s impossible to choose a single favorite part: the mountains were majestic, the lakes gorgeous and the waterfalls stunningly powerful.
It was interesting to see the burned forests and their regrowth and the glaciers and markers of the..ir retreat. The wine tasting was instructive and enjoyable. Our group of international fellow travelers was friendly and fun.
Japhar, our guide and driver, was outstanding: knowledgeable, attentive, very pleasant; invested in giving us the best experience possible.
Watch the weather forecasts before you go, also recognizing their unpredictability. One must be prepared for rough ground, warm and cold, sun and precipitation.Read full review
My wife and I went on the Rockies Summer Premium Tour, the week of July 17th. We were amazed at the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The overall tour was incredible. We went to numerous beautiful places like Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Banff e..tc. Our tour consisted of very nice people that we got to know and will keep in touch in the future. Our tour guide (Will) made it extra special. He was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He made sure everyone had enough time to see the beauty of the area. He always wanted to make sure everyone was happy. Overall, it was an amazing time. Thank you to Discover Canada tours and to especially our tour guide Will, who made this one of most memorable vacations.Read full review
I had a truly magical experience visiting the Rocky Mountains in Canada.
I went on the 5-day premium tour with Tourrader Canada Tours. Our guide Ian shared lots of important information with a sense of humor and he was very kind and knowle..dgeable.
The scenery in the mountains was utterly amazing.
The highlights of the trip for me where; visiting the town of Banff stunning scenery,
Both Lake Louise and Lake Emerald area, and the wild life Center Kamloops:seeing the white wolves and the grizzly bears was truly special.
And finally experiencing the ceremony around the campfire with the group of fellow travellers with a First Nation indigenous leader:Frank.
I truly special experience . I do hope to come back to visit Vancouver and the Rocky Mountains again.Read full review
I joined this tour because of my sister's visiting and she cannot drive so I think it may be too tired for me to drive all the way to Rocky Mountains. All i can say about this trip is "AMAZING". We went to all the places as the tour promise..d and we saw the wild animals (though it is not a must). The hotels are fantastic!! What I need to specially mentioned here is our Tour Guide Meghan. She is THE BEST!! She is fun and very pleasant. I will never forget our marshmallow camp fire experience. Ask for her tour if you decide to join Discover Canada! I really appreciate Meghan's service!!Read full review

We were a group of 4 adults (family) and everyone has the same positive feedback.
The tour was great. The sights were incredible, the hotels were luxurious and our group was fun.
What made this tour even more enjoyable was our guide Will ..and our assistant guide Kira. They were resourceful, knowledgeable, accommodating, funny and just great company. They were quick to address any issues and did everything they could to make our experience even more enjoyable.Read full review
Loved the experience, made me proud to be a Canadian. We have some many beautiful wonders in this country. Riding through the mountains, visiting lakes and falls and the charming towns added to the experience. The hosts, Christopher and Ian.. were awesome. They were a great team with a wealth of information. The group was friendly and a joy to be with. Overall, some great memories.Read full review
Covers all the key attractions. Our tour group was about 22 people and was the perfect size. The hotels were also great.
The views and breakfast at the top of Sulphur Mountain (included as part of tour) was a highlight! Would also recommen..d doing the optional Athabasca Glacier excursion. Our tour guide and driver were superb! Five out of five tour!Read full review
Driver Will and guide Kira were the best. They were professional and went beyond to make the tour fabulous! Hotels were top notch and the bus ride very comfortable especially for my very tall husband. We are so glad that we choose this tour.. over the Rocky Mountaineer train. There was a great mix of people. Couples and solo travelers alike.Read full review
This tour was near the end of the season. There weren't many of us on this day trip (may be 9). We travelled in a cramped 16 seater (not a typical 2x2 layout) which had barely any leg room. Luckily I was able to move to a better seat to str..etch my legs. The tour was as described with the exception that we only got 2.75hrs at the icefield rather than 3.5. So what could have been better?
Well, as we arrived the trip to the transfer to the glacier was in 15mins. This meant no time to do anything other than use the washroom. On our return we immediately got on to another bus to travel to the skywalk. The gap should have increased to give guests a chance to get a light lunch at the centre. Once the skywalk was over we travelled back to Calgary. Again, no chance to grab a light bite or visit the displays at the centre. The host was eager to get going and would only allow us to use the washroom. I am fortunate that I am bilingual so can understand the host but someone who only understood english would possibly struggle on this occasion.Read full review

Can’t say enough good things about this tour. From start to finish the Tours was professional, friendly, knowledgeable and shared in the excitement of our upcoming tour.
The tour itself was outstanding. A small groups tour that is perfect..ly designed to showcase the highlights of the Canadian Rockies. Our guide was so much fun, giving a ton of interesting commentary and local stories making sure we had plenty of time to enjoy the parks.
The scenery was amazing and the hotels of a very high quality.
We really enjoyed our tour with them and will certainly be returning for more tours in the future!

My wife and I really enjoyed the trip. The majority of guests were Chinese (overall 18 participants that day), but our tour guide Gordon nicely managed to tell everything in Mandarine and in English. The trip was quite cheap compared to oth..er offers on can find, but it was still very pleasant. The tour bus was comfortable and not too big. The Icefield trip (which can be booked additionally) was quite interesting and a nice experience to have! I would recommend to book the optional Columboa Icefield Day with the Skywalk - otherwise the final part of the trip is just spending time at the tourist center (in Jasper Park), which I imagine is not very interesting for the 3.5 hours the stop will be there! On the way to the Jasper Park, there are multiple stops with very nice views, where everyone has about 15 to 20 minutes to take pictures and enjoy the atmosphere. Jasper Park is definitely worth seeing!Read full review
