It was great fun. Very well managed and well paced over the 4 days. Hotels were great (except Clarion), food was great.. Most importantly, we had a great tour guide (Lisa Rong) as well as a very courteous driver (Paul) with Westar. Lisa rea..lly went out of her way to take care of guests and some of our personal requests specially on the food menu. The driver Paul was very knowledgeable - he knew the mountains and lakes and certainly a great story teller.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
The tour was educative and well conducted. The guide was knowledgeable and conducted it well. Right choice to have taken the tour. May be you could improve on the picnic lunch.

He was extra nice by making us try new fruit while in Obido. He was also nice helping us get on and off the van and extra helpful to my mom who is already 80 years old.
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.
