I am very glad I choose to travel with Smartours. The tour director was excellent, very friendly and accommodating. The itinerary covered all the highlights plus a few extra sites. The hotels were for the most part satisfactory. If you want luxury hotels and included dinners, Smartours is not for you.

We greatly enjoyed this tour. It was well planned, we got to see all the areas we wanted to. We could have used more time to stay in Banf or Jasper. The tour director and the driver were very skilled, professional and caring. Very good experience.

This was a terrific trip with an excellent guide. We really got to experience the Canadian Rockies with all of its glory. We even got to meet a retired Canadian Mounty Police Officer! The accommodations were generally very comfortable. It’s an active trip but one that can be balance to your abilities. Luckily we saw lots of wild life and the weather was wonderful. The price was wonderful compared with many other groups.
