Why Should You Consider Our Bus Tours?
For The Curious Traveler With Essential Questions...
  • Due to the vast distance from BC to Alberta, we make sure that your overnight hotels are located right in the heart of the Canadian Rockies (Jasper, Lake Louise, and Banff )  This will ensure, you spend more quality time in the most beautiful part of the journey rather than commuting to your hotel outside of the national parks. Although it may be more economical to stay at hotels outside the park such as Golden, Valemount or Revelstoke, it will reduce your sightseeing time. Our Hotels: Located in Jasper and Banff.
  • What kind of coaches is used? Deluxe Highway Motor Coach (50-56 seater) with washrooms, reclining seats, air conditioning, etc.). Newer buses tend to be more reliable and comfortable. Our Buses: Newer, Deluxe 56 Passenger Coaches.
  • Itineraries consist of too many items can be hectic. Our itineraries feature spectacular sights and the opportunity to enjoy every location without rushing to the next, which will make your vacation a most rewarding experience.
  • Does your tour guide have knowledge of the Canadian Rockies? And does he or she drive the coach as well? Our tour guide has over 15 years of guiding experience in the Rockies and a separate driver will be dedicated to enhancing your overall experience by keeping the coach safe and clean.

FAQ'S

Our tours are conducted in English only, by a professional tour director with more than 10 years of experience!

We recommend booking your tour as soon as your plans are confirmed, since departure dates are quite popular and can fill up quickly. Essentially, book early to avoid disappointment!

Key West Travel does not offer individual pick-ups as our tour guests would like to depart Vancouver as scheduled. Usually, the tour departs from Hyatt Regency Downtown Vancouver (655 Burrard Street).

Standard hotels are mountain lodge-style while premium hotels are resort-style. The majority of our guests choose standard accommodation as these hotels are very clean and comfortable, and travellers will get their own private room and washroom. If you want to book premium accommodation, be sure to book early as these hotels sell out quickly – they usually aren’t available within 6 months of departure!

Gratuities are not included in the prices (unless indicated). While it is neither our place nor our wish to tell you how much to tip, gratuities in Canada are often given in recognition of service excellence.

This depends on the day. When we are travelling between Vancouver and Jasper or Banff, it will be a minimum of 10 hours. However, every 2-3 hours, we leave the bus for mini breaks. During the sightseeing days, you will spend little time on the bus as you will be walking/sightseeing/hiking & etc.
