From the moment we arrived in Vancouver until we reached the Calgary airport, Tauck pampered us with beautiful hotel room views, good food & memorable tours. Itinerary included highlights at each stop, and we enjoyed an appropriate amount of free time. Tour guide Nancy [Employee Name] was knowledgeable, attentive and fun. We especially enjoyed her hats!
Most Memorable Moment:
Butchart Gardens, Float Plane over the Gulf Islands, Train ride on the Canadian from Vancouver to Jasper, Ice Explorer onto Athabasca Glacier, breathtaking views in Jasper, Lake Louise and Banff..how can I choose?
One of the best trips we have ever taken. So many modes of transportation; float plane, train, bus, ferry, glacier explorer, raft. So much fun. Every place we stayed was amazing and the scenery was SPECTACULAR. What a wonderful vacation.

All of the different modes of transportation, great hotels, and by far the absolutely amazing scenery.
