My husband and I enjoyed the Best of the Canadian Rockies 21 years ago and thought we’d like to go back, plus I wanted to see Butchart Gardens and travel by train for an overnight. Overall the scenery is absolutely beautiful, but the glaciers have receded a lot and there are many more people. We were surprised to see…
Friends who have taken this tour in the past talked about visiting a glacier. I've also seen a reference to that in a post on this forum, but my itinerary for the August 25 departure only mentions driving the Icefields Parkway between Jasper and Lake Louise. Has anyone taken the Grand Canadian Rockies tour (Eastbound) this…
Greetings, I am surprised there are no comments about this itinerary since July 2025, and most are much older. My wife and I just did a last-minute booking on the upcoming August 25 departure. Anything we need to know that Tauck hasn't provided? We're looking forward to the trip! Friends have recommended it highly. Bob
Wondering if anyone is traveling at this time?

One of our traveling companions has not been on a Tauck tour previously and had a few questions. I could respond, but only to specifics of the previous Tauck tour (Spain & Portugal) I was on. 1. Are any of…

Two questions: the info package suggests bringing crampons for glacier walk....are these really necessary? And, curious about the overnight on the train. Normally I have a backpack as my carry on but it sounds like there is hardly room for that on the train. How much space is there really?
I just got back from this trip. For those of you wondering what clothes to bring -- layers. The first few days in Vancouver and Victoria were quite warm (80-85) shorts and short sleeves. As we progressed on the trip it got colder. Lightweight jacket. For Jasper and Athabasca you will need a warmer jacket (puffy coat),…
The clothing and packing suggestions mention bringing Teva-style sandals or watershoes. Does anyone know why these are listed and if they are really necessary? Thanks.
