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

I booked the tours as a solo traveller.
I was disappointed with the customer service ... they emailed me about the pickup and dropoff details. I had answered them twice about preferring a dropoff in Banff instead of the airport. However,.. the tour guide was not informed.
Let's think about the tour. They sent a different tour guide every day, so the service charge was paid at the end of every single day. They delivered the tour bilingually, in Mandarin and English. That helped me to build up some vocabulary.
Lisa who was the guide took me to Banff took excellent care of me at each location. She told me that it was because I was the only one in my group. Thanks for her thoughtfulness. On my second day, 浩南, another guide, gave us facts and interesting stories during the ride. I was curious about wildlife and asked him many weird questions, for example, would the decline of wolf influence the bear population... I didn't expect a tour guide could answer. However, he did respond to them all patiently with the detailed explanation. He is a brilliant guy.
Likewise, Jasper park was led by a cute guide, Sylvia. She is a detail-minded and well-prepared person. The night before, she sent us a text message about the weather, advice and meetup time. I sat in the front and noticed the notes and plans she did for this tour. She is also very kind and friendly to us.
I have been to more than 20 countries and joined numerous local tours. This tour surprised me by the wonderful tour guides. I would highly recommend this tour if you have the desire to see great sceneries and have incredible tour experience.Read full review
First day, the pick up from airport was late.
Second day, the pick up from hotel to half day city tour also late.
The explanation and detail mostly mandarin.
First of all I had no idea what time and who was picking me up and what hotel I was staying at until day off or night before- tips were mandatory and counted- I had no idea where tour was going each day until that morning- tour was carried ..out in Chinese and English and one of the guides spoke predominantly Chinese and told us if we need explanation to just ask! Vincent and James were awesome and very kind and funny- the stops for lunch should have been at places we could walk or try new things as we waited a long time for group that bought lunch - Columbia icefields trip to glaciers should be stopped! The bus was delayed so we waited for over an hour! We were at one attraction for 4.5 hours! This was a waste of time- I felt the tour was not to explore but to take picturesRead full review
The schedule was completely different than what was mailed to me... Also the quality of hotel was substandard... especially Inns of Banff was too poor.
Also they did not cover full itenerary as promised .. they didn't look us to yoho park ..and Potey lake.
Overall it was a mess and the tour seemed to be stitched from a very poor subcontractor Webster..
Note tours4fun is only a booking agent and does not conduct any tours..
