Tour Itinerary
Who says you can’t have it all? Certainly not Canadians! From international cities to national parks, snow-dusted summits to vineyard-dotted valleys, dramatic glaciers to soothing hot springs, and the calmest of lakes to the wildest of creatures, Western Canada presents the greatest range of sights and cities, not to mention mountains! Pack your bags for a variety of adventure as we’ve packed the best of British Columbia and Alberta into one encompassing vacation. On this grand tour of Western Canada, you’ll spend time in the multicultural metropolis of Vancouver and the British-infused city of Victoria before trading the pubs of the “garden city” for the peaks of the Canadian Rockies. Devour the majestic scenery of four national parks – Glacier, Yoho, Banff, and Jasper – get a taste of resort life in renowned Whistler, sip your way through the vineyards of charming lakeside Kelowna, and clink your glasses to mountains of fun.

Health and Safety Protocols for Globus Tours
Today's world has changed, but what remains certain is Globus' commitment to guest safety, comfort and peace-of-mind while traveling with us. To that end, Globus has established a worldwide Assurance program, with enhanced on-trip protocols and procedures, to ensure the health – and happiness – of guests throughout their travels with us.
It all starts with Globus' Global Health & Safety Team, dedicated to ensuring that cleanliness of all operations exceeds today’s travel standards—from start to finish. The following areas address Globus' commitment to providing a safe and clean environment for guests.
A SAFE & WARM WELCOMEGlobus will enact new tour check-in procedures and pre-trip health screenings to offer guests a safe start to their journey, including adherence to social distancing requirements.
BLENDING CULTURAL PROXIMITY WITH SOCIAL DISTANCEGlobus will ensure safe distances for guests throughout the journey, on coach and during excursions. This includes providing masks for guests use at any time where social proximity could be an issue as well as the possibility of reducing group sizes, if required. And wireless listening technology – including Globus' Go Beyond Devices in Europe – enables safe distances between guests and other travelers on excursions.
FOCUS ON GUEST AND TEAM MEMBER HEALTHTo ensure a healthy environment for team and guests, Globus will conduct regular temperature checks for both guests and team, and when necessary, masks will be worn by Globus' team members when with guests.
TOUCHING HEARTS, NOT HANDSTraveling with Globus removes many of the “touch points” of travel, including luggage handling, check in/out, expedited entry into attractions and more. Globus are further reducing risk with hands-free service, meaning all self-services replaced by staff, including buffet meals replaced with table service. Globus will also ensure hand sanitizing is available throughout each trip, on coach and in hotels.
COMMITMENT TO CLEANAs a part of Globus' commitment to clean, Globus is requiring enhanced cleaning procedures with hotel partners, on motorcoaches, vehicles and throughout every trip, including additional daily disinfecting procedures that go above-and-beyond already strict health and safety procedures.
PARTNERS IN DISCOVERY AND IN HEALTHGlobus has strict health and safety protocols, which have been in place for years, focused on ensuring all aspects of operation- from vehicles and equipment used on trip to excursions and hotel procedures. This process will continue with new, elevated health and safety checks, to maintain their promise that each touch-point on tours and cruises are considered in their commitment to guest and team member well-being.

Question: Are there any optional side trips or excursions available on this trip, and, if so, at what cost? Is the cost of the ferries between Vancouver and Victoria included?
Question: How many suitcases can I take with me on my trip?
Question: Is Airfare Included in the Price?
This was a well managed tour with lots of content and good pacing. Some free time and good arrangements. The tour guide was excellent. The bus was a bit smaller than we expected, but was adequate. The side excursions were very good with the exception of the canoe+dinner trip that was seriously overpriced for the boring trip you got. The last two days of the trip were really just traveling back to Vancouver without really seeing anything; a better trip would be to just end in Banff or Calgary and fly home from there. However, we were quite satisfied with the trip.
Mark was excellent as tour director!
This tour was our fourth with Globus booked through Affordable Tours and met all of our expectations. We had a great time and met a lot of new people who felt the same. If you like the outdoors, the Canadian Rockies are fantastic. Good selection of optional excursions.
The SawRidge Inn was less than par and dated. Several of the hotels did not have lighted magnifying mirrors to put in contact lenses. This is a quality of life issue, not cosmetic. Several of the hotels offered scrambled eggs as a breakfast course. However, they were usually overcooked and dry. It would be so simple to offer soft boiled eggs in a bowl for self-service if they do not wish to offer an alternate egg option to cook. Also, light in hotel rooms is lacking. When having to pack at night for early morning departures, this becomes problematic and takes longer to do. Lamps are cheap, one or two more, or greater lamp wattage in fewer lamps would be acceptable.
We have used Globus twice prior to this trip. Excellent reputation. Biggest advantage is they utilize quality hotels in the center of towns. Makes it easy to return to sites after the daily tour.
The accommodations had beautiful views from the rooms, was great.
