From mountains to ocean
And all in between,
Our Western Canada tour
Has got to be seen.

We'll cuddle you, coddle you
And feed you the best.
So take our advice
And come to the west.


       You could fly this route in a week, but for the ultimate experience, a two week driving holiday is best.  Begin in Calgary on the Alberta prairie.   Rise to the Rocky Mountain heights of Banff and Jasper.  Twist and wind your way to British Columbia's sunny Okanagan. Follow the river valleys to Vancouver.  Sail across the Strait to Victoria.  Let us help you find perfect stops along the way.
       Your amazing, two or three week itinerary might include a few days in Canmore, Jasper or Banff, another in Clearwater, beach time in Penticton and a variety of city activities in Vancouver and Victoria.
