"Without a doubt, this was the best tour I have been on. Worth every dollar. The sights were the most beautiful I have ever seen and the stops, attractions, guides, free time, and overall schedule was just perfect. Perfect selection of activities and free time. Where to start! The cruise on Waterton Lake and dinner with friends was great. Our guide on the boat did a great job explaining everything we were seeing. The Red Jammer ride and Sun Highway and everything associated with that day was absolutely amazing. The drivers were outstanding and the scenery and wildlife was breathtaking. While we experienced fog going up Sulphur Mountain on the gondola, the views at the top were out of this world. Then the fog lifted and what a sight! All the other stops like Lake Louise and the many waterfalls were great additions to the trip. I would have not wanted to miss any of them. We saw so much more than I expected and I think because of the way our TD managed the tour and the group, we all developed personal relationships with each other early on in the tour and the entire group worked together to make sure no one was left out. Everything went just like clockwork and we had nothing to think about except to enjoy and take in the beauty of the country. Leave the work to Caravan! Another great tour, thanks!!"

"Absolutely marvelous. Thoroughly planned and executed, the trip was awesome in every way! Every activity was wonderful, the sightseeing extraordinary. We have never been on a trip where every turn had scenery that never ended. The most consistently beautiful scenery we have ever seen. Every stop was well-used, rest was perfectly timed. This trip was an incredible value for the cost involved. Lots of credit to our director and driver for being so positive about Caravan and its people."
"The Canadian Rockies are so very beautiful and it was wonderful to be able to experience the beauty. It was great staying in the Banff Park Lodge in the middle of the tour. We were very happy with the trip. It was a great vacation and we’d go on another Caravan tour for sure."
"This was truly an amazing trip that I will remember forever and have already recommended to several friends. I loved everything! The highlights for me personally would have to be the Red Jammer tour, the lakeshore hotel, the raft ride in Banff, Columbia Icefields, and the wildlife. Loved the nature talk in Jasper, it was great. It was all more than I expected, simply amazing."
"This was my favorite Caravan tour I have taken, this was my fifth now. There was so much to see and experience. Everytime I turned around there was a ‘wow’ moment. Our director was a wealth of information and she seemed to truly love this region. I really loved the way we slowed down for animals and landforms that were spotted, amazing. Each hotel was unique and special."
"I would never hesitate to go on another Caravan tour or recommend to others. Plenty of time to do what was offered and take breaks. The hotels exceeded expectations. More than I could have imagined. Banff was lovely and in Jasper, I could reach out and touch an elk. I don’t have the words to express my joy. I’m still annoyingly happy two weeks later. Great job!"
"This is my second tour with Caravan Tours and the second was just as good as the first. There was not as much red in Canada as there was on the Grand Canyon tour, but then again the height and beauty of the Canadian Rockies is a whole different world. It was hard to compare the two. Both had their own beauty."
"I didn't think I would ever take a guided tour. However, I am so glad that I did. This was a great trip. I would travel with Caravan again."
"I am not a tour person. We always travel independently or with private guides and drivers. Last December we decided to give Caravan a try and we did the Panama trip. We really enjoyed it, so decided to go again on the Canadian Rockies. I have been all over the world and seen many amazing things but I have NEVER experienced the jaw-dropping scenery that is the Canadian Rockies! I will never forget them. Magical, mysterious, awe-inspiring. Really could not get enough of those magnificent Rockies! Enjoyed the Banff gondola and really liked the free time in Banff. Waterton was a nice quiet town that I enjoyed. Really liked the morning tour through Calgary, saw some interesting architecture. Nice to be in one place for two nights, you have the freedom to stay in town or relax. Our director was nothing short of awesome. Thank you for sharing this with us. Now I think I will have to travel with you to Guatemala, a good way to see the pyramids of Tikal and some lovely countryside. Your tours are very well-priced for all we get to see and do. Keep up the good work!"
"The sightseeing and activities were even better than we thought! I still can't believe we did so much in such a short time, but we did not feel stressed. It was great! Thank you all at Caravan, because you put so much thought into what would make this a great tour. We really loved it and would do it all over again in a minute! Well, maybe next year! Thanks."
"This tour far exceeded anything I expected. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this trip, the beauty of the country and our very special tour director and driver and their attention to our safety and well-being. Your TD and driver both receive my utmost thanks for their performance during our adventure at the icefields. It is at times like that the true character and skills of people really show and we had two of the best. They speak well of your company. Many thanks and I will make sure everyone I talk to knows of the quality of your company."
"The most beautiful sights we had ever experienced. The natural scenery of the Canadian Rockies was amazing. Just the right amount of activities. We always felt comfortable and we had many opportunities for beautiful pictures."
"This was our first Caravan tour. All in all, the tour was more than I expected. Our driver was amazing and our director was terrific, always clear, concise and very approachable and I enjoyed our time together. The highlight was of course the scenery, spectacular. I was expecting that, but I had no idea how fun the activities would be. The was a special event each day. The boat on the Waterton Lake, the Jammer in Glacier, the gondola in Banff, the raft on the Bow River, the glaciers in Jasper. All hikes and tours were exceptional. We saw big horned sheep, black bear, white-tailed deer, mule deer, elk, moose, grizzly bear, bald eagles, silver foxes, white pelicans. We learned about glaciers and bear grass. We learned how glacier flour colors the waters of the lake. Every day there was something new. Each day there was a coach ride, always with some information from our TD, outside activities, including all the planned activities, choices for hikes and short walks at sites and free time to explore on our own, and shopping. It gave a little rhythm to each day, perfectly intertwined and suited me perfectly. Thank you so much!!"
"Wonderful. Our first tour and I would do it again. I cannot think of one negative about this trip. Our director was wow, wow, wow. Kept us on time and the ball rolling, great and very knowledgeable. We were very happy to see many animals. The activities were good and very enjoyable. Loved shopping in Banff. We made some great friends and have many memories to share and remember. Thanks for the memories!"
"Breathtaking, exciting, interesting and just amount of stops and scenery and experience, all were wonderful. This is the best tour I’ve ever been on and I plan to do all tours with Caravan. It was the most perfect! Coach was extremely clean, pretty, and comfortable too."
"My wife and I were a bit concerned about a pre-planned tour. Our feeling was that we might feel rushed at the tour stops. We were both pleasantly surprised at the freedom we had and at the quality of the accommodations. Not enough words for all the for all the sights. Suffice it to say...beautiful, astounding, and breathtaking."
"Phenomenal sightseeing in Alberta. Appreciate the variety of activities and the very impressive sightseeing in beautiful nature. Quality meals in taste and variety. Wonderful customer service. The people who worked with us by phone before the trip were excellent communicators during the planning of our adventure. Thank you Caravan for your attention to detail in organizing a comprehensive experience when you organize your trips."
"This was our second Caravan trip and definitely won’t be our last. Even though we’ve been the youngest couple on both of our trips, we have loved every minute of the trips. Everything was fantastic! We loved how busy and fun-filled the tours are. Definitely nothing we would have considered doing on our own because of price but we are so glad they were included in this trip. There wasn’t much downtime, but some is a good thing. Being able to go off and hike on your own is how you see some of the best things. Our days felt like they were so full, yet we had plenty of time to hike and do things on our own. Great balance."
"Our first Caravan tour and we really enjoyed it! It was wonderful that so many activities were included in the tour price. We loved the beautiful scenery and all the lakes. Float trip was awesome. The trip to the glacier at Icefield was also great. The provided breakfasts were very good as were the dinners. We enjoyed all the hotels. It was fun staying in some more quaint places such as the Jasper Bungalows. Seeing the elk there was priceless and the staff were so nice and friendly. I also appreciated moving around on the coach, it was an opportunity to meet more people each day. Our TD had such a knowledge base on geology, wildlife, history, and geography."
"The tour was a good value for the money. We went with our children ages sixteen to twenty-two."
"Our first guided tour - 100% satisfied. A great variety of opportunities, all well organized and well planned with photo opportunities. Our director was full of knowledge, history, geography as well as plants and wildlife, with a great sense of humor. Plenty of choices at breakfast and excellent dinner in Waterton. I look forward to another tour with Caravan. I called several times before the tour with questions and reps were most helpful."
"I never knew the Rockies were so beautiful. I really enjoyed the trip. People on the tour were a nice mixture."
"I appreciated the small day by day itinerary you had in the travel packet. It helped me to keep record of my pictures, places and all information needed. Thanks a lot, it was a wonderful trip and you are doing a good job."
"The hotel accommodations were great. It's good to know that Caravan can provide such a great trip at a lower price than others. We hope to travel with Caravan again."
"This was my first Caravan trip and won’t be my last. All my clients enjoyed it too. Great value and content. Loved the variety of activities that were offered and the ability to have prepaid admissions and reserved start times is very beneficial. Impossible to pick a favorite. I really liked all three hotels, especially the fact that they were different. Each reflected the ambiance of the place they were. Well chosen!"
"The Bayshore Inn hotel was a favorite because of its waterfront location and in-town location with nature all around."
"This tour was everything I thought it would be and more. Canada is so beautiful and quite interesting. Loved all the activities and sights. We saw a lot of animals including bear and elk with their babies. Hotels were very nice, clean and comfortable and in good locations. I’d go with our TD again, he was excellent."
"The sightseeing and activities were fantastic. The scenery was awesome. We covered a lot in an eight-day vacation. The Going-to-the-Sun Road highway is unbelievable."
"Our tour director was fantastic. He was the ultimate professional and showed he truly cares about the clients. His knowledge is amazing and he mixes this with humility as well. He is truly a great representative of Caravan. I would love to take another Caravan tour if they are all like this. I will recommend it to all of my friends!"
"Coming from a two week band camp, I was rather skeptical when leaving for Canada, but I was in for a big surprise. I had a great time with the family and enjoying the cool Canadian Rockies. By the way, I'm only fifteen years old."
"Friends of mine took this tour last summer with Caravan and recommended it to me. I'm so glad they did. I had a wonderful time and will recommend it to my friends. I'm sure I'll be back with Caravan for a future trip. Thanks for the memories!"
"Great tour. Great company. Great tour director. Great bus driver. We had a great group. Everyone socialized and got along well with each other."
"The Waterton Lake Cruise was both informative and fun with great views of the surrounding mountains. The raft ride was also interesting. The ride on the Athabasca Glacier was awesome and very cold. The gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain was fantastic as were the views at the top. Great photo stops, well-timed and appropriate. All the hotels were in excellent locations and each with their own special perks. Beautiful scenic locations with great views of the mountains, lakes, falls, with shopping and restaurants nearby, and some with hiking trails by the river as in Jasper. The buffet in the Hilton for our last dinner was fantastic."
"This was my favorite trip! The things we saw were just breathtaking. We are so happy that we went at this time of the year. Enjoyed the speaker that brought the artifacts and taught us about the local wildlife. We met forever friends, weather was perfect. Everything and everyone was amazing. BEST TRIP EVER! See you on our next Caravan tour."
"My wife and I have taken tours with other tour companies and these are the best hotels we have ever experienced on a tour. Don't see how you do it for the price. This was our first tour with Caravan, but it will not be our last. As seasoned travelers, we found top value for our dollar with Caravan Tours."
"This is our second Caravan tour. We are amazed how close you get to people you have never met before and how well you get along with them. Meeting new people is a BIG PART of the positive tour experience with Caravan."
"It is very apparent that Caravan took the time to select some of the better hotels for customers to stay for the duration of the tour. Based on a fixed budget and negotiated prices, I believe Caravan did a stellar job in selecting the venues. As this was the primary intent of the tour, the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park far exceeded my expectations as far as their grandeur and beauty. Again, I believe Caravan made a significant effort in selecting those locations and activities with care to make the sightseeing of this part of North America amazing. As this was our first guided tour, we have no way of comparison, but Caravan has left a great impression on both my wife and me. Caravan exceeded my expectations throughout this great trip."
"The guide in Glacier National Park was excellent, very knowledgeable and entertaining!"
"I have been passing around the information about our trip. I recommend it to all of the residents of our community. So very pleased with our Caravan trip. Each and every tour or sightseeing event was very good. Our director is absolutely the best. She may not have picked the event, but her lead up and presentation of what and why we were seeing or experiencing such beauty was top-notch. I thought the choice of lodging was wonderful. Being downtown in Banff was special. Being in a cabin in Jasper was fun. Waterton was a treat for us. We enjoyed the room and the town a lot. The area of Canada we visited was outstanding. I’ve been on guided tours in Europe and Asia during my career in the military and one of the things I always wanted was on-time departures. We NEVER departed late on this trip. Can’t wait to take another one."
"We truly enjoy traveling with Caravan. We hope to take the Costa Rica, Nova Scotia, and Yellowstone tours!"
"Fun! We enjoyed our time. Each day was filled with a unique adventure and experience. Perfect timing for all rest stops and photo opportunities. Dinner was well-prepared at the included locations. We will definitely consider another tour in the future. Exceptional service delivered once again from Caravan. You need a tour for Montreal and Quebec!"
"We are thrilled that we chose to travel with Caravan. It is certainly the best value trip that we've ever taken."
"Having taken other tours before, Caravan Tours proved to be at the highest level in all respects. Because it is economically feasible for more people to travel with Caravan, we will certainly be recommending its tours in the future."
"My absolute favorite was riding in the Red Jammer on the 'Going-to-the-Sun Road' highway. The driver removed the top of the vehicle as we went on to Logan Pass. It was absolutely breathless, a winter wonderland! Since we never see snow in South Louisiana, this was a real treat for me! My favorite part of the tour was exploring Glacier National Park. Overall, this was an experience to remember and recommend to family and friends. Don't hesitate to travel with Caravan, it's a very professional operation!"
"This is a trip you shouldn't miss. The scenery was magnificent and the experience will stay with me for a long time. It was a great place to practice my photography!"
"This is our second Caravan tour and we will definitely go again when we travel. We have shared the brochure with at least ten people. Originally, we heard about Caravan from our travel agent, but have since booked and read about it on the web site. We have traveled many places in the world and definitely would rate Caravan very high on the list."
"The experience was so much better than we expected. I don't know if this trip will spoil it for future tours, since we had never before been on one. We can't say enough good things about the organization of the sightseeing, the coffee breaks and the information given about the beauty we saw."
"I would definitely take more Caravan tours. It was a wonderful tour filled with breathtaking scenery of the Canadian Rockies and narrated by a very knowledgeable tour director. The dinners were great as were the accommodations. The small unexpected extras made it even better. Even the weather cooperated. Thanks, Caravan."
"It's my fifth trip with Caravan and I'm looking forward to more trips."
"I will recommend the tour and the company to friends and relatives. Great value for the money without using cheap, rundown hotels. We travel extensively, several times a year, mainly on our own, but found the tour very well organized and good value for the money. We are planning to take the Guatemala tour, the Nova Scotia tour and the Yellowstone tour in the near future. Keep up the good work!"
"My favorite hotel was in Banff. I liked being in the middle of town. My husband and I had a great vacation. We have been on several guided tours, but this was the best yet. We hope to go with Caravan again, maybe to Nova Scotia or Costa Rica."
"I'm glad I can't suggest anything to make this trip better. I had a great trip and looking forward to my next one with you. Thanks."
"The rest and photo stops were fantastic! My wife and I have traveled the world, most of it on our own because we like to be able to stop wherever we want, whenever we want. The stops were super appropriate, probably the same places we would have stopped if traveling on our own and in the same amount of time. This was our first experience with Caravan. Based on the caliber of the tour director, driver and accommodations we experienced, we will definitely repeat to other locations."
"This was our second Caravan Tour and one with the most beauty. The Canadian Rockies are awesome. There is great value built into this tour and nowhere was there disappointment. The accommodations were more than adequate and better than expected. The food was very good. Even the exchange rate for U.S. Dollar was to our advantage! This is a must tour."
"The Bayshore Inn hotel was delightful! It was located in the heart of the small town with good accommodations and outstanding staff. The hotel in Banff was in a superb location downtown. There were really good rooms. The Canadian Rockies have unmatched and unparalleled scenery for miles and miles, causing one to take more camera shots than ever."
"It was a very good value. I saw more on this tour than any other tour I've taken."
"Fantastic! This was our first Caravan tour, but not the last. Really great activities, gorgeous sightseeing. Really enjoyed Moraine Lake, the Ice Explorer, and the Red Jammer ride had some really phenomenal views. Our tour was blessed with good weather throughout which made it a very positive experience. We even got the chance to see bear cubs, bighorn, sheep, and elk. Very cool."
"This was my first trip with Caravan and I am very impressed. I will recommend your tours to all my family and friends. You offer a lot for the fee you charge. Caravan offers a very comprehensive overview of all the beauty to be seen in this area of the Alberta National Parks. Our tour director did an outstanding job getting us to all our destinations ahead of the crowds and provided much local information of interest, he is a gem. Everything was organized and went like clockwork, the attention to detail was amazing!"
"This was our first tour with Caravan. We have been raving about the tour. Accommodations, organization, local trips and how comfortable the pace of the tour was, raving to all our friends. Beautiful locations to visit, truly well planned out. Loved seeing the locations with the tour group and then having time to sightsee on our own. Gorgeous stops along the way. Truly a great trip. We had a great and memorable vacation."
"The motor coach was very nice and comfortable, only three months old. The coach was kept squeaky clean,"
"We were so happy with this trip that we are planning on doing Yellowstone, Billings, and Mt. Rushmore next year with Caravan. Please keep the prices the same. This was such a wonderful trip. We think it was even more beautiful than Alaska. There was plenty of time to stop and see everything. We enjoyed it so much that we are planning another Caravan trip next year."
"This is our second experience with Caravan Tours and it was a great time. We have recommended your company to many others. These tours are the best value around and I still don't know how you do it for the price. My mother always used to say, 'you get what you pay for' but traveling with Caravan Tours, it was more, especially when we saw other travelers who paid much more for the same attractions."
"What an amazing trip this was for us. The scenery was unlike anything we've ever seen before. The guests were awesome. They all meshed very well together. We made many friends that we feel we will have for years to come. This was the trip of a lifetime."
"This was the best North American trip I have taken. I usually shy away from tours, but now I will be interested again. I think we must have seen everything possible to see. Animals were incredible. I would like to go back."
"I would highly recommend Caravan Tours to others. Anywhere else, you couldn't do what Caravan does for the same dollars. I feel Caravan Tours goes to great lengths to provide a memorable trip for the least amount of money. This is our second tour with Caravan and we plan on doing more."
"This was a terrific experience. I would highly recommend it to friends. Thanks to our driver’s sharp eyes, we saw three grizzlies, a lifetime first for me. Exciting real adventures, once in a lifetime treat. Thanks to all involved for a great adventure!"
"We would recommend this tour to our friends. The scenic beauty along with Caravan’s expertise speaks for itself. The meals and lodging were adequate and the sights were spectacular. Caravan did a great job of showing them off. A boat tour, rafting, gondola, the icefield...plenty of activities. The longer drives were broken up perfectly and our director was everything we could have hoped for; informative, helpful, funny, the best."
"This was one of the best trips I have taken. We’ve been to Europe, river boating, etc. but this was outstanding. The meals were appreciated. All the activities and sightseeing were all awesome, including some of the lakes and mountains. Hotels were all great. Caravan does a great job with this trip!"
"This was my 5th Caravan tour and I keep coming back. Wish there were more tours to do! Great value from a company that cares."
"I can’t say enough about this trip. The things we saw will stay with us for a long time. I can’t single out one as outstanding because they were all great. They were perfectly timed so one could possibly be bored. Your tours are already being recommended to our family and friends. We have already sent info to our in-laws."
"The tour of the Canadian Rockies is wonderful! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and beauty."
"Everything was well organized. There were no obvious slip-ups. I particularly enjoyed the bonfire and marshmallow roast. It was a nice relaxing way to spend an evening in the park. I also enjoyed the Athabasca Glacier visit and riding the Jammers through Glacier National Park."
"I took between seven hundred and eight hundred digital pictures on the trip. I doubt that I will delete many because the scenery is so beautiful. We are going to try to arrange a new Caravan tour with three other couples we met on the tour. Caravan Tours is a quality operation in every way. We will recommend it highly to all our friends and family and will definitely do another Caravan tour in the future, if circumstances permit."
"I loved the setting of the hotel in Waterton, being close to the water, scenic views and places to walk. I also enjoyed the deer browsing in town. It was a good value for the cost. I would travel again with Caravan in a minute. Everything was as promised and easy for the traveler."
"I don't see how you can put together such an interesting trip for the price you charge. I would certainly consider using Caravan Tours again."
"We have only praise for Caravan Tours and would welcome experiencing future travels. We chose your service, taking into consideration destinations, sights, activities as well as costs of lodging and meals, because it encompassed a complete package for a good value. Your tour covered it all and much more. Thank you!"
"The trip was beyond my expectations. The scenery was spectacular!"
"Amazing! This was the first of many Caravan tours for us we hope. We enjoyed the sites and the people so much. We were able to see so much! Enjoyed taking time to see as many points of interest as possible. Loved the float and Red Jammer tour in Glacier, as well as Banff, all highlights. Good hotel service, and we appreciated being near our travel group."
"Another excellent Caravan tour that made me want to return to the area. Thank you for showing me the Canadian Rockies. Many of our group were Caravan ‘junkies’ who had taken numerous tours. Some had done almost every tour offered. The company is doing a great job overall."
"This was our first tour with Caravan Tours and we're planning another trip next year. Five family members traveled together."
"Amazing! This was the first of many Caravan tours for us we hope. We enjoyed the sites and the people so much. We were able to see so much! Enjoyed taking time to see as many points of interest as possible. Loved the float and Red Jammer tour in Glacier, as well as Banff, all highlights. Good hotel service, and we appreciated being near our travel group."
"It's my first time with Caravan Tours, but not the last. Ready to reserve again anytime."
"We really enjoyed our tour of the Canadian Rockies and have been highly recommending it to everyone we talk to back here at home. My husband said it was one of the best vacations he ever had, which is high praise, considering his usual is a standard 'It was okay.' Thank you Caravan Tours for a job well done!"
"Everything was spectacular, the scenery, the exciting animals such as the deer, elk, a calf moose, Rocky Mountain sheep, the breathtaking mountains, the turquoise blue lakes, lovely waterfalls, mountain streams and rivers. We met interesting and friendly passengers from the U.S.A., Canada and England. Again, we enjoyed our trip immensely."
"We enjoyed meeting everyone and thought it was fun to see a cross-section of the U.S. Everyone was so nice, even though they made fun of my Texas accent. We were not aware of any problems with anyone and that was remarkable. Thank you for a wonderful time! We will remember it forever."
"We always thought Alaska was the most beautiful spot in North America, but now that we have seen the Canadian Rockies, we have changed our minds. What exquisite scenery! We will never forget the turquoise water against the glaciers and the mountains. We will definitely return and take in this magnificent beauty again. This was one of the best tours, both economical and pleasurable, on which I've been."
"I used this as a family vacation with two adult children. The trip, the tour group and our tour director made it a memorable vacation. Thanks."
"The deer wandering around the grounds of the Bayshore Inn hotel were amazing! There was absolutely no fear of humans. The restaurant was good as well."
"My favorite part of the tour was sitting in the sun on a bench on the banks of Lake Louise, facing Victoria Glacier, eating a roast beef sandwich while watching a chipmunk pose for pictures. Also, getting to see Black Bears, Grizzlies, Mountain Goats and Sheep, plus a Bull Elk was thrilling. This is our second tour. Previously, it was Costa Rica. I do not know how Caravan Tours can provide such value for such a low price. We'll be back for more Caravan adventures."
"We are so happy to have taken this tour and will tell all our friends about our wonderful experience. It's a trip everyone must take. It's an experience of a lifetime. Photos do not compare with the feeling evoked viewing these sights in person."
"Overall, it was a wonderful tour. Given the opportunity, we will take Caravan tours in the future. The tours definitely take the stress out of sightseeing travel. You need not be concerned with driving, finding refueling stations, reading maps, picking locations, hotels and places to eat."
"The tour director was excellent in every way, a great manager, didn't 'read the script, but was calm, mild mannered and a real joy. This was our second Caravan tour and we are looking forward to more. Caravan Tours has it right, and everyone raved about your tours. This was the most congenial group ever, interested as well as interesting and always on time!"
"This trip was a photographer's delight. The pictures tell the story. Thank you at Caravan for a wonderful scenic tour."
"I took your trip to Costa Rica and loved it. I raved about it to fellow motor coach passengers. This trip was equally as informative and pleasant. It's also a very good value for the money. I plan to take another trip with Caravan Tours, but not yet sure which one."
"This was my first time with Caravan and I am extremely satisfied with the entire tour. The sightseeing was extensive, hotels and food were very good, and the tour director was wonderful. I will definitely consider traveling with Caravan Tours again."
"The hotel in Banff was in a good downtown location. It was easy to shop in spare time. Generally, I like to plan my own tours. I enjoy doing the research and travel arrangements. This tour with our tour director has convinced me that a do-it-yourself tour is not always the best value. I would not have planned a tour with accommodations like this one. Our tour guide was excellent!"
"The diversity of hotels was wonderful! Waterton and Banff were right in town. However, I loved Jasper because of the woods, river and wildlife. This was my first motorcoach tour. I like the fact that I did not have to drive to see the sights. I would definitely go again."
"This summer we were looking at many tours with several companies. We decided to choose Caravan Tours. We took your Canadian Rockies and Glacier Park Tour. It was a tour that proved to be a breathtaking and unforgettable experience we will treasure for the rest of our lives."
"This trip was spectacular and a phenomenal value. It was everything promised by the website description and more! We have only been home for two days and are already studying our Caravan brochures to choose our next trip. This one was our first with Caravan, but will not be our last."
"Our guide was the most excellent of guides we've had, and we've been on five organized tours with other companies!"
"The hotels were just the type I stay in when I book my own hotels. The tour on a scale of one to ten, it was an ELEVEN! I can't wait to travel with you again."
"This was a spectacular tour. I had a great time. I enjoyed this tour as much as I enjoyed Grand Canyon tour. I would travel with Caravan again, possibly the Mt. Rushmore or Costa Rica tour."
"I must compliment you on one of the most perfect tours I have ever experienced. Please be aware that I am not a novice and have taken other tours. This was my second Canadian Rockies experience. I, of course, did not expect great accommodations or gastronomic meals. However, those that Caravan provided to me far exceeded my expectations and were more than sufficient."
"I really enjoyed the Jammer ride in the Glaciers. This is a tour that we would like to take again. We would like to share the beauty of the Canadian Rockies with our friends."
"I have to say that Caravan Tours has just become my new tour company. I would like a next year's booklet. It's an outstanding company. I give four stars to the men and women of your company. I will definitely take another tour next year."
"After three Caravan trips, I honestly think this one was my favorite. It is still difficult to imagine how we were able to see and enjoy so many beautiful sights. The scenery was amazing and memorable. Our director and driver established a warm friendly atmosphere for all of us. They also provided us with extra interesting details. Our transportation was comfortable and very clean."
"The tour director was excellent, outstanding and superb. He was a real pro and a credit to your organization."
"This was our first trip with Caravan Tours and it won't be our last. We took this trip for a test to see if you passed what we needed and you did so in a BIG way. You surpassed all of our expectations. Thanks for giving us a magnificent vacation."
"I have never been on a tour or even a business trip. It was a fantastic experience. I would do it again and with the best drivers."
"The sightseeing and activities were very good. I enjoyed the boat cruise, the Jammer ride and the walk on the Columbia Icefield. I have recommended this trip to many of our friends as I thought it was a great value and attracted many nice people from all over the country. They were fun and friendly."
"We had a very careful driver. We felt safe and comfortable at all times. Also, the motor coach was very clean."
"Caravan Tours does an exceptional job. We would like to do Mt. Rushmore next. I gave 'RAVE' reviews to my travel agent in South Hampton, New York. Based on my positive comments, I feel sure that he will recommend Caravan Tours to others interested in this form of travel. Your tours are wonderful! We will do another one this year. Great job!"
"Glacier, Banff, and Jasper National Parks are so beautiful. There were many photo ops. Have plenty of film and batteries. The gift shops were pricey. Waterproof jacket recommended as weather can change rapidly in the mountains. No dress clothes are required on this trip, but would need bathing suit for hotel or for Hot Springs."
"The Waterton hotel had a lovely setting on the lake and great breakfast buffet. Waterton was my favorite place. The Banff was situated very well in the center of Banff. Jasper hotel accommodations were great and the food was delicious. The setting was so relaxing and everyone there was very friendly and helpful."
"This tour is the best value on the market today. It is a 'must do' at any price. I will be going on more of the Caravan Tours in the future."
"Waterton was great with the lake so close and the deer walking around the streets. The tour was great. We got more than we expected for the money. Please continue to give the most you can to the traveler. Caravan is a great way to go. They make sure every day is planned to the fullest and know all the great places to stop. You can't beat Caravan for a tour. Just keep up the great work. I appreciate the dedication that goes into that good of a tour and being able to keep it that affordable. You offer much for the money. Thanks!"
"This was our second tour with Caravan. Having gone to California last September, I highly recommend the California trip to those on this tour. Also, we heard good things about your other tours, especially Costa Rica. All the people we have dealt with who work for Caravan Tours have been topnotch."
"This trip should please the most discriminating traveler for the scenery, information, education, hotels, included meals, sightseeing and cost. I would go again with Caravan Tours and in fact am planning for the California Coast and Yosemite Park."
"This tour was an exceptional value. I hesitated to book it because it seemed too cheap! Comparable to other tours at half the cost. I really appreciated not being assaulted with a block of 'optionals' that run up the cost! Before this tour, I had taken six trips with a different company; however, I will not take another one with them!"
"From one to ten, I have to give the tour a big TEN! Going through the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National park is a tour NOT to be missed! And, CARAVAN is the way to go. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the beauty of this part of the world. If you haven't been there, call CARAVAN TOURS today! If you were there some time in the past, why not go again? Make it with CARAVAN."
"Caravan has the best rates ever for the Canadian Rockies. It is the best value by far for the dollar. The motor coach, the hotels food, trips and views were beyond excellent. This was truly our best ever. Caravan Tours, you are number one in my book and I cannot wait to take another trip with you."
"Nature provided spectacular scenery and Caravan showed it to us. The National Parks and the ride on the Jammers were awesome as was the Columbia Icefield experience. Waterton is a very scenic, secluded and beautiful area. This trip was so fantastic that my husband and I are considering your Black Hills/Yellowstone tour for the spring. We are fairly experienced travelers and tour takers, so we were extremely satisfied with Caravan. Our tour offered an excellent product for the price. Lodging, meals, coach and sightseeing were all above expectations! We look forward to booking another tour with Caravan."
"The tour was worth every dollar and time spent."
"The sightseeing and activities were the favorite part of our tour. The sites included in this Canadian Rockies tour were everything we could imagine and more. Our tour was never rushed in the sightseeing; just fabulous how everything was always right on schedule. Jasper and the area around it was absolutely gorgeous and 'wild.' That area symbolized the Canadian Rockies for me. I would love to spend more time there some day. We've been home three weeks and when someone asks how was our trip, we still are enthusiastic about the whole experience. We would recommend this Caravan Canadian Rockies Tour to ANYONE!"
"There was a nice mix of sightseeing, personal time and travel. It is relaxing to not have to plan, navigate and drive. I enjoyed flexibility to stop and see all the key sights."
"The hotel was charming and up to date. I loved walking the streets in Banff every evening. This is my first tour and I am so glad I chose Caravan Tours. Down to earth people were on this tour and everybody got along with everybody. It was fun, fun, fun. Thank you!"
"This was my first tour ever. I was traveling alone and was very grateful that I chose Caravan Tours. The Canadian Rockies were absolutely lovely and our tour was truly first class with our guide, driver, coach, local guides, accommodations, and meals that were provided. Caravan came through on all of their promises and more. I recommend them highly."
"Everything was better than I expected as Caravan Tours was a new tour company to me. I was impressed with fellow travelers, most were professional people."
"This was my second Caravan tour. I did Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore last year. I have already decided that it will be Nova Scotia next year. If possible, I think Caravan is a good travel buy. I worked in the travel business for 22 years and the length of tours also appeals to me."
"We had never heard of Caravan Tours until reading an article in the Travel section of the Atlanta paper about this particular tour. I am so glad we found it. Hope you will have lots of Georgians sign up. We debated between this tour or the Nova Scotia one. I guess that one will have to be our next or maybe Costa Rica. Definitely would like to do more!"
"The sightseeing and activities were excellent. The pace was perfect, not too rushed and plenty of free time. We feel Caravan is the best tour company we have used. It has an excellent price, great food and hotels. This is our second Caravan tour and we plan to do Nova Scotia next year."
"Tour was an A+. Reasonable cost and would recommend to my friends."
"We were undecided about which tour to take because some friends of ours recommended another tour company. However, because of the cost difference, we decided to choose Caravan and we were not disappointed."
"Dollar for dollar, best bang for the buck for a vacation. I feel like I owe Caravan more money."
"Once again Caravan Tours has given me an experience of a lifetime. Thank you for your desire to pursue excellence while giving me considerable value for my money!"
"We were experienced touring people. We loved the Caravan experience, thought the value was outstanding. We loved the fact that no side trips were sold."
"Trip of a lifetime! Great way to celebrate our 50th anniversary!"
"This was the first time that I ever traveled as a single -- I enjoyed myself immensely. Thank you."
"Awesome views of mountains, waterfalls, glaciers and wildlife. We saw three bears. All of the sightseeing and activities were well planned and great. We had never been on a tour like this before, but after this experience are looking forward to another tour with Caravan. Some of our friends have mentioned going with us next time."
"Until I found this tour company on the internet, I had never heard of Caravan Tours. I am glad that I did. We had a wonderful time. My husband and I have toured in over 40 countries, independently and on tours. This was one of the most well planned, and a great value for the money."
"Glorious part of the world! Top of the line tour, thanks to your planning and to your excellent tour director and driver's many abilities to care for and to inform us."

"Wonderful trip -- far exceeded my expectations. Everything was first class from your people to the lodgings. Your tour director was exceptional, took care of everyone's request and was well versed in area history and all else."
"Your tour director was knowledgeable with a pleasant personality. He definitely was a people person, always smiling, and it was obvious that his goal was to see that the group had a good time. He really knew his business. Thanks for a great vacation that I will always remember."
"The hotels were very good and more than we expected. This was our first tour and won't be our last. We have done quite a bit of traveling and this is the best vacation yet. The activities were wonderful and made us realize what we would have missed by 'going it on our own.' You took us to the best of the best. I would have loved to have done it all over again. I wouldn't change a thing. Your driver was proud of his coach and kept it spiffed up at all times. It was comfortable, but who wanted to sleep."
"Your tour director was outstanding. We could not have had a more knowledgeable or interesting guide. He was a very caring person to all. Your local guides were all exceptional, very informative and fun. We would definitely go with Caravan again."
"Your tour director was excellent. He paid close attention to detail, made sure everything was taken care of, and had good rapport with all passengers. He was both informative and humorous. Your driver was extremely helpful and worked hand-in-hand with the tour director on scheduling and other arrangements. He was extremely helpful with luggage, seeing that it arrived at our rooms while we were participating in other activities. The motor coach was very clean, comfortable and well maintained. A memorable trip!"
"We will recommend Caravan to all our friends and family. This was the perfect tour, no need to change a thing. Thanks for a wonderful vacation."
"All accommodations were attractive and comfortable. Each hotel or lodge had features that made them unique. Your rest and photo stops were appropriate and well managed by the tour director and driver. Your tour director was excellent. He related to each member on the tour and they responded to him. He was friendly, considerate, flexible, and concerned for each and every one. He added to the enjoyment of the tour. The relaxed pace made the Caravan tour very enjoyable. The tour was first class."
"We were afforded a variety of opportunities to see the highlights and given excellent explanations of what we were viewing. Your tour director was very helpful, with a ton of knowledge about geology, history, customs, etc. He also had a good sense of humor. This tour far exceeded our expectations."
"Your tour director was both informative and entertaining. The fact that most everyone had a smile on his/her face most of the time was due in no small part to his sense of humor. Your motor coach was first class, not a bad view from any seat on it. We have already been looking at other tours that you folks offer."
"Your tour director was an absolute delight, very knowledgeable and took great care of everyone. She has the right mix of knowledge, charm and humor."

"Your sightseeing and activities were very well planned and certainly lived up to my expectations. Your tour director was very friendly with an extensive knowledge of the areas visited, delightful sense of humor. Your driver was great! The best driver that I have ever had. He was always courteous, helpful friendly -- a real gentleman. Oh yes, his driving skills are excellent. I had a wonderful time on my tour into the Canadian Rockies. Frankly, it could not have been better. I loved it all! Thank you, Caravan."
"We enjoyed all of the natural beauty in the areas we visited. I was overwhelmed -- I had a wonderful time on this vacation and was in awe of all the beauty that Canada has to offer. Thank you!"
"Your tour director was the best. I felt well taken care of. He was always organized, caring, funny, knowledgeable about the area, and knew how to time our arrival at various places for optimal enjoyment! Really enjoyed this tour, felt it was a good value. Best tour that I've been on thus far."
"Your tour director is a gem. She is by far the best director that we have met on any of our other trips. I'd recommend your services. We were drawn to your package by the price, but we found that your services matched more expensive tours that we have been on. Your Canadian Rockies trip is a winner."
"Excellent mix of sightseeing and activities. Trip overall was excellent. That's why I have spaces booked on your Nova Scotia tour."
"The rest and photo stops were often enough and very timely. Your tour director pointed us in the right director for the best photo shots with the least distance. I enjoyed having the schedule completed on time each day."
"Your sightseeing and activities were everything we wanted and more. Our second trip with Caravan and we will travel again with Caravan Tours."
"Outstanding! I loved every single day and was not disappointed in any planned activity. Very organized, no bad incidents, quick entries and no long waits. Great value for all that is included on the tour. Loyal employees who speak highly of Caravan. We were treated very well at hotels, and very obvious the respect people have for Caravan as a company. Our guide and driver looked for animals for us and made sure we got to see many. And I will speak of the beauty of the Candian Rockies for a long time and will highly recommend this trip to family and friends. Thanks for a great time!"
"All in all this was a wonderful trip with Caravan. I would take another trip with them. Makes you realize that the perks of a tour are worth it. You don’t have to do all the research yourself, no lines etc. Wonderful sights. I have never seen such beautiful scenery. Your director was great and I learned a lot which is why your tours are so wonderful. He worked hard to give us a great time. We had no problems and the staff was great."
"We had an outstanding tour. We plan to book again with Caravan! Please put us on your mailing list."
"Your sightseeing and activities were superior in every way, thanks to your tour director and driver. They made the trip. Caravan is wonderful. Keep up the good work! More trips, please."
"The meals were very good. I liked not having all meals included. It allowed us to pick the kind of restaurant we wanted to suit our appetite. I would travel with Caravan again and recommend it to our friends: excellent value, great staff!"
"The rapport between the tour director and the driver was impressive. Your tour director was outstanding and very aware of the needs of each individual. Everything about the trip was most pleasant."
"Your tour director couldn't be better -- personable, conscientious and witty. Knew when to speak and when to be quiet. He was very knowledgeable. The best tour I have ever taken."
"Your local guides were very good, adding a bit of local color to the trip. I loved the beautiful Canadian Rockies and would repeat this trip in a heartbeat!"
"The main emphasis at each stop varied: scenery, geology, ecology, history. Your tour director was competent and very pleasant, gave good attention to each person. Your local guides were well chosen, knowledgeable and pleasant. The entire tour was well planned with a variety of activities appealing to a wide range of ages."

We saw tons of spectacular scenery. I truly enjoyed all the sightseeing and numerous excursions. They were fun and sometimes a little challenging and I liked that. It was a great trip and so happy to have done it."
"Exceptional! It was a great trip. We saw fire, rain, and snow! What else could you want. We covered the beautiful region really well and saw many animals. Enjoyed it all and loved the snowfield. I have traveled with Caravan since 1990 when my dad and I traveled to the UK with you. You’re the best!"
"This trip sit at the top or very near the top of all the trips we’ve taken. We were really looking forward to this trip when we first scheduled two years ago but had to cancel due to some medical treatments. I’ve already recommended to several people. We were extremely happy with this tour. Outstanding schedule and activities, very well-organized and planned. Thank you for a great vacation."
"We went on about three cruises per year -- we now want to go on tours."
"This has been a wonderful, memorable tour to a beautiful part of the world. The tour was relaxing, enjoyable, educational and fun. It was well organized and we were able to enjoy the sites at a relaxing pace due in large part to your first class tour director. I will definitely recommend Caravan Tours to my co-workers, family and friends. Thanks for providing an affordable, top of the line tour."
"I have traveled throughout the globe, both for business and personal pleasure, but this was the first tour I had ever taken. It was wonderful not to have to drive and just relax and take in the views. I really liked it when we arrived at our evening destination, got off the bus and were handed a key to our room and then did not have to handle luggage."
"All of our hotels were good! A wonderful well planned tour! Your tour director had exceptional knowledge, pleasant voice and she spoke when she had something to say instead of endless chatter. She is a total gem of a tour guide. We will return for another tour for sure. We are hoping to catch the same tour director on your Nova Scotia in the future."
"Your tour director is very enthusiastic about everything in the Rockies and transmitted his love of the area to us all and his concern that the wilderness be kept unspoiled. Everything went smoothly throughout the trip. We always seemed to have sufficient time to do whatever we wanted to do and see whatever we wanted to see. The tour was thoroughly enjoyable."
