You’re a leisurely traveler. You typically take it easy and discover the energy of a new place by people-watching or soaking in the atmosphere at a local café. You can climb at least one flight of stairs, board a coach, and walk unassisted at a relaxed pace for up to 60 minutes without difficulty. You can easily handle altitudes up to 5,000 feet.
You like a balanced approach to travel. Walking two to three miles over the course of a day is no problem for you. You can partake in a two-hour leisurely walking tour, covering up to two miles (with included breaks). You can handle a variety of terrains, from cobblestone streets to moderate hills with relative ease and without assistance. You can climb two flights of stairs with ease. There may be 1 to 2 days on this tour when walking tours can cover 3 to 4 miles over uneven terrain. You can handle altitudes up to 6,000 feet.
You’re an on-the-go traveler. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (2-3 hours) isn’t a big deal. A moderately paced two-and-a-half-hour walking tour, covering several miles, hills, and uneven surfaces, is no problem for you. Walking four miles over the course of a day is very doable, as is climbing into and out of various modes of transportation (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.). You can climb three flights of stairs easily and handle altitudes between 6,000 and 9,000 feet. Expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure. This level is not a fit for travelers who require mobility assistance devices.
You’re ready to seize the day, whatever it may bring. You lead an active life at home (walking, biking, and half or full day hikes are things you may enjoy) and 10,000 steps a day is normal for you. You can handle longer walking tours (more than 3 hours covering 3+ miles at a steady clip) and activities that involve traversing uneven terrain, steep slopes, standing for periods of time, and varying altitudes and temperatures. You don’t mind being on the go with some early starts, late-nights, and full days. You can handle altitudes of 9,000 feet or higher with little to no issue. This level is not appropriate for travelers who use wheelchairs, walkers, and other mobility assistance devices.

This trip was an amazing trip that I will look back fondly for a lifetime. The scenery was breath taking, We enjoyed our excursion at the Buffalo jump. A Blackfoot guide spoke to us about of the plains people culture and gave us a briefing of the historic site. On the trip we saw lots of wildlife , including bears thanks to our awesome bus driver and guide. The Rocky Mountains, Glacier National Park and and Watertown National Park and all the other Parks beauty will stay in my memory forever. The Glacier walk and the pictures of that Glacier were perfect. Our overnight stops were perfect because it gave us extra time to enjoy the local sights The farewell dinner in Calgary was an unexpected pleasure. I would love to go back again. Our wonderful tour director , Daniel Guertin, was fantastic. I can truly say because of him our trip was a memorable experience

the tour bus was bad. the right rear wheel was noisey and rough the whole trip. I sat over it on first day and felt very uncomfortable thinking the wheel was not right. The sound was terrible. the driver said he was to have someone come and look at it thinking the shocks were the problem. But no one came. The sound did get somewhat quieter but was never quite comfortable.

Tour manager needed to manage 45 people on the bus. That, combined with tight schedule, left very little time for 'hiking' or 'exploration'. This tour can be extended by a day, and/or Jasper can be added with two more days. Manager did accommodate couple extra scenic visiting sites and provided interesting historical perspective on sites. To avoid people 'blocking' seats on the bus (by leaving their belongings on the seats), suggest manager rotate seating (this is the only tour out of five I have taken where this was not done). Also suggest a group gathering evening before tour starts for team building (few may enroute and miss it). Bus driver could have been 'warmer'!!

The weather was wonderful. The meals provided were very good. Most of the breakfast buffets had several choices of food. Patricia and Doug (tour manager and bus driver) were lovely. Patricia is very knowledgeable and very proud of her country. She also tried to help locate my lost luggage for 2 days. I have photos that look postcard worthy. I wish I was able to see the Rockies without smoke but I am happy to admire the majestic beauty. If ihad a complaint it would be the discrepancy in the activity level. One place says can you walk 30-45 minutes and go up a flight of stairs, another place says can you walk 3-4 miles. I called collette and they said walking of 30-45 minutes. However when we received our booklet with name tags etc, it said walking 3-4 miles.

The basic layout required long days in the bus, most people were fatigued by that. But that is intrinsic to the current tour design. It might be possible to redesign into a Canada only r US only tour with less time in the bus. The tour leader had additional stops to breakup the bus hours, these were good. Hotels were ok. Food was good. The tour leader was great.

I Filled out a survey and explained. There were issues with some of the stops, which our wonderful guide apologized for. However these were not things that should have happened.. We weren't the first guests to have been at the hotels, restaurants and stops that were part of this trip. Also, if the time of year of the trip means less access to students or help in the venues, then stop touring at those times. Additionally, there was an issue with a horrendous urine smell on the bus. If there is no where to dump the contents, then go somewhere else. I have been on trips with many tour companies besides Collette and have been all over the US, Europe, Israel etc. I have NEVER had an issue with an odor on the bus. Also, there was no Wi-Fi on the bus. Isn't that usually standard? The tour itself was wonderful and the guide was great. The best I have had at Collette.

It is certainly unacceptable that there was an odor on the motor coach. Your comments will be reviewed by the Director of Transportation to ensure future guests do not have the same experience. We do not advertise Wi-Fi on our motor coaches as not all vehicles will have internet access.

We spent 2 days in the bus Because of that only a few hours was spent in Lake Louise. Would have never chosen the itinerary of the description included two days in a bus. There are parts of glacier national much closer to Canada Also I called and said I was an active 60 and wanted to travel with like activity level. The average age was 75 and sedentary Jovanka the tour leader made the trip for me! She is fabulous

I especially liked the limousine service to and back from the airport! All info on the trip was excellent especially our guide who was so informative about the places we traveled through--his info on Canada was great. Our bus driver was so helpful about my walker. My only complaint was that we had a difficult time in Vancouver airport--my ticket should have had handicap. Frustrating airport! But all my rooms had a handicap bath--just great. I appreciated the personal touches of Collette for those of us who are handicapped. Looking forward to another trip. I am working on a photo book of this trip.

This is a very professional organization that uses the best service providers -- buses, hotels, etc. The tour manager and bus driver were top notch and the locations we went were the places you want to be. My one criticism, and the reason it wasn't 5 stars for me, is that there was too much time on the bus. I did not realize ahead of time that there would be so much time getting from place to place.

You chose especially fantastic sites / sights to see and visit, starting with the Calgary Stampede (what a hoot). The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel was a special treat -- we lived like the top 1% does for THOSE 3 nights: loved the warm wonderful ambience of the hotel's candelabras, antique furniture, low lights, and other decor; food was mostly A-1, service by the many delightful young people with a smile, friendly, willing, over-the-top. We lucked out with beautiful weather, making the Road-to-the Sun at Glacier especially spectacular. The Canadian Rockies seen on the way to Jasper for the coup de grace, standing on an iceberg!, were equally awesome! Our tour guide was quite knowledgeable -- learned a lot -- and certainly delivered the itinerary promised, but left something to be desired. Personality-wise, she lacked warmth and humor. When I learned of her background, though, I understood, and cut her some slack. Door-to-door pickup to/from the airports was especially appreciated. I'll do it that way on my own if I fly again. Two disappointments: not being permitted to stay for the Indian show at Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo Jump -- we Easterners rarely have an opportunity to see real live Indians in their beautiful ornate regalia, etc. -- and the final dinner being in a noisy restaurant instead of a private room.

See previous remarks. I'd add that the outdoor grilled dinner at a real live Montana ranch was a special experience, although the food could have been better, and they had no ice for drinks, which was odd and actually kind of ruined it for me. I like my drinks ice cold.

I have taken many tours with other companies. But never have had tour manager that keeps the passengers upset with her rude remarks and unprofessional behavior. This trip was alot of money to pay for someone to insult you. I will never take another trip with this company or recommend to others. The travel planning could have been better. I know getting tickets to stampede controlled some of it. It seems like it would have been better to have gone from Calgary to Banff and then Banff to Glacier Park in Montana. The 2 days of travel from Canada to Montana and back again were tight days to maintain schedule. The manager became stressed if schedule became tight or off on time. She then tended to take it out on passengers. Never experienced anything like it. It is hard to write it down but would be willing to talk with someone. The last 2 days of trip she was very pleasant but by then you really did not want anything to do with her. She talked about how many years she has done tours. She should have been better to handle stress. Instead she throws a fit in dining establishment and said she was going home and the heck with all of us. My sister made a comment that she was surprised with the warm temps in Canada. Your manager then said she was sick of prejudice people. We are still wondering about that statement. Then the bus driver said he was tired of people not knowing about the Canadian Provences. My sister told him she didn't know a lot about Canada and that was why she was visiting. She told him if he had any questions about orthopedic surgery she would be happy to answer them. I actually thought they didn't care for Americans. Many of others thought the same.

The sights were beautiful in Montana and Canada. Was disappointed with not seeing bears but with very warm temps they were staying deep in woods. Not something you can control. Riding in the Jammers at Glacier Park was fun.

I was pleased with the over all tour but my personal interest were not achieved because of logistics.

Trip Rating:
Collette, offers a very user friendly approach and professional team while on tour. The driver was excellent at his job, our tour guide is a superior host. Our tour guide, had an extensive knowledge of the area and worked very well to make every detail perfect. Now what could be improved might be in logistics for viewing this pristine area. Far too many times we arrive at high sun and the harsh light destroys the natural beauty. I realize travel and accommodating a vacation like attitude is important but the first 3 hours or more of the day are wasted on food and travel...Also, the last 4 plus hours place the traveler in a beautiful hotel outside the quaint villages demanding transportation to enjoy...I enjoy sharing these experiences with my wife but also love to photograph the beauty but this is not possible on this type of tour...The lodging for the most part exceeds our needs and looks great in the sales brochure.

Canadian Rockies & Glacier Nat'l Park Coach Tour

Trip Rating:
My wife and I have been on a number of wonderful coach tours over the last 10 years. This was our first trip with Collette. We both agree that Collette was superior overall in each category. The weather was perfect and the itinerary fantastic. Our tour guide, was excellent with her descriptions of sites, keeping us informed, courtesy, and especially with her patience with each and every passenger. In 1984 I went on a European coach tour and that tour guide was my favorite tour guide until I met *personal details removed by Feffo*. There is always wonderful itinerary on every tour, but what makes the real difference is always the Tour Guide. Our tour quide is why we ranked this Collette tour #!, because of Sarah.

It was an excellent tour. Everything was well done by the Collette and the tour director and our bus driver was great. Beautiful scenery, unique accommodations, and good choices for meals provided by Collette. I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour director was very knowledgeable and personable. The only thing that I would have liked more of is the bus stopping for pictures along the way. So many of my pictures of beautiful scenery had to be taken out of the bus and all had reflection of the bus on them.

We were met at the airport in a timely manner. Our guide was excellent as was the bus driver. The tour schedule was good and we saw all that was described in the ad. We all enjoyed the chair lift at Lake Louise and those who went on the helicopter ride were very pleased with the service and views of the rockies and glaciers. I would and have recommended Collette and plan to travel again with them. The only thing I missed was the welcome dinner but I understand that it was not possible due to airline schedule of arrivals.

I have been on several Collette Tours and have always enjoyed them immensely. When we first booked this tour we thought it was a bit pricey for a five day tour (total of seven days with travel days on each end of the tour). However, we were very impressed with the accommodations and think the slightly higher cost was worth the price. The only downside to the entire trip was flying Air Canada. We wished Collette would have known and informed us of Air Canada's policy about reserved seats on their flights. During our flights from Toronto to Calgary and from Calgary to Toronto, some of our party were scattered all over the aircraft in individual seats and not sitting with their spouses. This was disappointing not being able to fly with our husbands and wives. Also, and this is totally out of Collette's control, is the "pain" of going through the Toronto Airport. It is an extremely busy airport and some the the processes of going through Canadian and U.S. Customs are very confusing and cumbersome. I would suggest if you plan to take this trip fly to Calgary from Minneapolis, MN or Denver, CO or Seattle, WA via a U.S. based airline. I think this is something Collette should suggest or at least offer as an option to future travelers.

I have been on several Collette Tours and have always enjoyed them immensely. When we first booked this tour we thought it was a bit pricey for a five day tour (total of seven days with travel days on each end of the tour). However, we were very impressed with the accommodations and think the slightly higher cost was worth the price. The first hotel in Calgary, the Downtown Weston, was a very nice hotel and they provided a very nice buffet breakfast. The second hotel, The Prince of Wales Hotel, Waterton, Alberta, Canada, was extremely picturesque and quaint and we enjoyed the hotel and scenery very much. We had no issues with the fact that there is no TV or self-operated elevator in the hotel. They hotel is a National Historic Site and they are attempting to maintain it's 1920's and 30's era hotel. The second hotel, the Fairmont in Banff, Alberta, Canada was very, very impressive and we had a top notch, three night stay. During our entire stay, including room, meals, lounge and hotel staff we were constantly pleased with the professionalism and helpfulness of all the staff at the "Castle of the Rockies." I strongly suggest if you stay at this hotel take the time to walk around and "get lost" in the majesty of the hotel. The excursions were all very, very interesting and educational. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Lake Moraine, riding in the "Red Cars" to Sun Mountain, walking on the glacier, riding the ski lift, visiting Waterton and Banff and seeing the majestic Canadian Rockies as we drove to all the scenic locations. Our tour guide, Geoffery, was very knowledgeable and helpful during the entire trip. He even went out of his way to help us get a table for six one night at dinner and we were very thankful for his attention to detail. During our trip we saw bears, bald eagles, long horn sheep and ground squirrels. The only downside to the entire trip was flying Air Canada. We wished Collette would have known and informed us of Air Canada's policy about reserved seats on their flights. During our flights from Toronto to Calgary and from Calgary to Toronto, some of our party were scattered all over the aircraft in individual seats and not sitting with their spouses.

This was my first Collette tour, but I hope it won't be my last. I think I got good value and inclusion for the dollars paid for this trip. It was a dream of mine to return to some of the spots I had visited 49 years ago. The Banff Springs Hotel had always been a dream of mine, and those accommodations and the overall atmosphere did not disappoint. All of their employees were so courteous and made us feel like welcome guests. I gave the accommodations rating only as "good" due to the less than spectacular experience at the Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton. It is a fine old building, but the room accommodations were sparse at best and some of the hotel employees were less than friendly. Too bad! Overall, the scenery was spectacular and all the local guides and drivers were exceptional! Wonderful memories! Thanks, Collette.

Trip Rating:
Too much time spent on bus. Most of the meals provided on the trip were not very good. The accommodations for the farewell dinner were particularly bad -- in a noisy restaurant/bar with no separate room for a group of 44. Our room in Banff was over the air conditioning equipment so we couldn't open our windows which would have eliminated the need to run air conditioning and our rooms definitely lacked good views. The Prince of Wales hotel should never be used except to view the site and the architecture. The weather was outstanding and I really enjoyed walking around Lake Louise which should not have required an additional charge. The trip up the chairlift was pleasant but totally unnecessary. It would have been nice to have had a boat trip on the lake when we were in Waterton. We had to leave the hotel in Banff for our return flight before the restaurant opened. No provision was made for a "box breakfast" to take with us. Although bottles of water were in a cooler on the bus, we were asked to pay $1.00 for them. I have been on other tours where there was never any charge. In short, I felt that Collette skimped on providing amenities and I will never take another Collette tour.
