Overview of your Vancouver tour

This is your unique opportunity to explore one of the most beautiful natural spots in Canada rather than exploring by train which has a lot of limitations in terms of sightseeing. The Rocky Mountains of Alberta. I specialized in Rocky mountain tours and I can say that I know all the best sites between Jasper and Banff. Park admission permit is covered by the guide. This trip is priced for up to 3 people on a KIA SUV to accommodate checked luggage with 3 cabin luggage and some backpacks. For larger groups we can accommodate up to 10 passengers by renting a Mercedes Sprinter Van and for additional cost. For a customized request, I can pick you up from Calgary airport. IMPORTANT NOTE: Please book in advance your Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure. On peak season spots are very limited and can take up to 3 hours waiting time to be schedule for the Icefield Bus.
