Though we booked the tour on short notice on 27 August 2019 it was only after ascertaining that the tour was available for 30 August 2019 and the booking was calculated as per tour itinerary listed, was accepted and full amount charged to m..y credit card. Our ordeal started after that. The tour operator based in US (our tour was in Canada) had very poor communication and sent us the confirmation only 29th evening when our tour was to commence from 7Am on 30th and that too after numerous calls. Second shock came after they cancelled our meal plan and optional tours citing short notice as the reason and were asked to buy these on site waiting in long Qs. Third shock was that they totally dropped Jasper which was part of itinerary as per their original itinerary advertised and booking accepted for. Instead they changed itinerary by unnecessarily adding one day/night stay at Calgary on 30th night when we had already booked hotel at our own cost in Calgary for 29th night assuming our tour would start at 7 AM on 30th. So, the actual tour started on 31st. All this was communicated to us only at the last minute without any scope for change or cancellation. Our purpose of visiting Rocky mountain in Jasper (most beautiful part) besides Banff was defeated having gone all the way from India via Vancouver (where tour was booked). Final shock came when hotels in Calgary and Banff were found to be totally substandard (only one night they upgraded to a slightly better hotel citing reservation in their substandard hotel was unavailable). The actual tour operator, WESTAR based in Calgary was good and only saving grace. Would never recommend anyone this tour operator.Read full review

Tour itinerary was good but late check ins to hotels At 9. To 9.30 way to late. Our tour leader Tony was excellent and Emanuel also good . Hotels started off very good but last two in Rome and Venice were old and very ordinary

We have encountered two kind of Tour guide and busdriver.
You will understand what I mean when you read my comments.
Our tour guide Mr.Winter and bus driver Mr.Minic were excellent(7 days east Canada tour)
Only I did’nt like; Tours4fun d..irected me first day an hotel.The guide was not there.I had to contact with the tour guide.Another tourguide took us from the hotel following morning .And we went another place to join to main group.Our guide arranged a hotel on 05 July at the and of East Canada trip and following day we were transferred another group.I sent an E-mail your customer service related to this split and requested an explanation.I did’t have a proper response.
Also our tour guide Mr. Jerry Ma and bus driver for Niagara tour were not enough good.The tour guide was inexperienced.He could’nt controll the group.The driver was just about the sleep on the way back.He was driving un safe.
The bus just passed 100m away from my hotel on the way back to TORONTO airport.I kindly requested from our tourguide to drop off me there as I had 4 pieces luggage becauseoff overseas flight.His response was very strange.He told me that he couldnt pass my desire to driver and I had to tell mysellf my desire the driver.That was vey rough approach
My strong advise; please make detail explanation step by step your customer.The passenger has to know what he will experience.I digged to learn all details.
Any way thanks for everything.Read full review
Ben our guide was very informative, the bus driver Vern was always professional but so helpful and quite funny.
The activities were smoothly run and highlights. All hotel rooms were clean, and spacious. The first an last day were long driv..ing days but necessary.Read full review
Tour guide is very unprofessional. Found out that she was sleeping with one of the male travellers in our group. She is interested only to party with the younger travellers. She gives NO notice to the older ladies, who could not cope with t..he group walking, despite she is called upon. She has no local knowledge. She will google about the place as the bus is approaching ,& then read the information from her handphone. She can not speak any of the local language and is dependent on the driver to get us thru the various borders. She is not organised and frankly should not be a tour guide.
Please see attached feedback form, which I have completed for Expat Explorer. Hope this form finds its way back to the compsny.Read full review
It was good but there were some communication issues. There was a 40min delay during a morning pick up at my hotel, without any communication, which is nerve wrecking. The email conversation during the reservation could also have been more ..efficient, e.g when agreeing the drop off location.Read full review
