Loved every minute and highly recommend this trip with CostSaver to all.
Guide was extremely knowledgeable and a very good people person. Driver was especially helpful to passengers and both had great personalities. I loved the experiences and the places visited on the tour. Accommodation was very acceptable and tour reasonably priced. Already looking at my next tour and have recommended CostSaver to friends on my facebook page and a group called Over 60 Tour Buddy Australia.
A postcard picture at every turn, plenty of unexpected extras.

A perfect blend of east to west, Alberta to BC. Two night stays in most places allowed us enough time to have a good look around. The optional activities were excellent as advised by our tour director.
The trip offered what was promised and the Tour Director (Lisa) was excellent in providing local knowledge and an element of fun that we were not expecting. The early snowfall (snowstorm) was a bonus and the bus driver (Al) negotiated our way safely through it. He was fantastic too.
Finding places to eat in a timely manner sometimes difficult. Most rooms were great. Exceptions: having to go up two flights of stairs due to elevator out in Inns of Banff and Ramada in Vancouver - the worst! Musty smell made me cough all night. Room the smallest of all of them.
Tour Guide (Lisa Tyner) and Coach Driver (Al) had MANY obstacles on this trip... beginning with one foot of snow in Calgary! In spite of snow, cold rainy weather, ice everywhere, they gave us the tour of a lifetime. Adjustments had to be made but was done with everyone in mind. Unpredictable snow made the trip very unique. Lisa's wit and warm personality made the trip extra special. Al's expertise behind the wheel was very comforting - even in the "white" out! There were other delays that were totally out of Lisa's control but were handled professionally with a personal touch.
