Rockies Christmas Premium Tour

We (me, wife, two adult daughters, all Aussies) just did the Rocky Mountains Premium Xmas tour. It was a blast … our Tour Guide (Ryan) was very knowledgeable, incredibly well organised and funny too (despite being Canadian). The whole experience was hassle free. Needless to say the destinations were stunning and the activities great fun. Our driver, Brian, was incredible in keeping us safe through some pretty treacherous driving conditions. It’s not often I’d happily fall asleep being driven in those conditions. I’d give it 6 stars if I could…

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour over Christmas! The absolute best way to spend our Christmas holiday. Our tour guide, Ben Hutchinson, was phenomenal. One of the funniest tour guides we’ve ever traveled with. Very knowledgeable of Canadian history and great restaurant/activity recommendations throughout the tour. We were laughing all the way to Banff and back. He truly loves what he does and it shows! Our driver, Brian, also made the trip amazing! He went above and beyond just getting us to and from in safe manner. He was very friendly and funny as well. In between stops, he was constantly cleaning the bus and wiping down windows to make the views more pleasurable. Highly recommended this tour and extra bonus if you get to tour with Ben and Brian!

Myself and my boyfriend did the Rockies Christmas Premium Tour in December 2021. We had lived in Vancouver for over 5 years but never made it to Banff so this Tour was the perfect opportunity for us to see Banff and take in all the beautiful sights along the way, as the tour started in Vancouver. Our route in terms of places we stayed in hotels over night was Vancouver to Chase, Chase to Banff, Banff to Golden then back home. Our tour guides were Jafar and Ken. Jafar knowledge of the history, plants and architecture of the different areas along the Rockies was amazing. I was taking notes on my phone as he spoke as I wanted to retain all the great information. He had a clear passion for what he does and great experience. Some of the stand out moments for me of the trip were: - Storytelling with indigenous elder around a bonfire in Chase - Sleigh ride in Banff on Christmas day - Lake Louise, just so beautiful to see it in the winter - How relaxing and comfy the busy was, chilled music playing and looking out the window at the beautiful sights covered in snow Ken made sure we were always organised for activities and breakfast. Brian the bus drive did an unreal job of driving in some seriously snowy conditions. This was the first package trip we have ever done in terms of having transport, tour guide, hotel and breakfast included and it was so worth it. The stress of organising a trip and figuring out what you need to see often takes the fun out of it, where as for this trip we just turned up and everything was organised and we saw all the sights. This was one of the best things I have done during my time in Canada and I will never forgot the Christmas I spent on this trip. If your thinking about it, do it, you won't regret it.

We enjoyed the tour very much. Beautiful sceneries all the way! Love Banff the most except it was too cold for us. We had a wonderful tour guide, Erik. Erik was very knowledgeable as he shared with us many things about the glaciers, mountains, lakes & animals along the way. Never a dull moment on the bus as he entertained us with many stories and games! Always there to help us take pics too! Wld love to hve Erik as our tour guide again the next time we travel in Canada.
