I have only experience of one tour, so would give advice on that. There seems to an enormous range of products, that I couldn't comment on. Our experience was very good however.

Adnaan E.   -  Traveled, August 2024

The trip was a great way to experience and get a taste of what the Rockies has to offer, especially if you have limited time to travel. The ride through the rockies for 2 days was very comfortable and allowed us to truly see this vast landscape without any interference. However it would be great to revise some of the itinerary to include more time spent outdoors for hiking and excursions through some portions of the trip.

Hannah S.   -  Traveled, August 2024

If this was the first tour I had of been on I would have voted unlikely to recommend but because my other G Adventures was amazing I know there is so much more potential. Found this tour super unorganised and always felt rushed. Tour guide also was unprofessional at times
