Fantastic coach tour through the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Our tour guide, Jeff, was outstanding with great knowledge and communication skills. All stops, photo opportunities, places of interest and accommodation were carefully curated with the tourists welfare in mind. The scenery was spectacular and our activities were special events. Jeff guided our tour perfectly and couldn’t thank him enough for his efforts. Ben, our coach driver, was good and professional too, making us feel safe with all the driving and parking close to the venues wherever possible. Highly recommend this coach tour
