We started our trip in Vancouver and stopped by beautiful park and scenic points. Tour in Vancouver had multiple quick stops but more than enough to take pictures and tour. We hop aboard ferry to Victoria which was very fun and exciting. Visited the botanical Butchart Gardens which was just so beautiful and aromatic. On third day, we started the trip to the Rocky Mountains. Throughout the trip, the guide (Hoon) was very thorough in explaining the history and fun facts about each city along the way as well as the attractions. These are the type of information you wouldn't be able to learn just by reading books.
Three top attractions for me were Lake Louise, Athabasca glacier ice field, and Banff viewpoint at the top of the mountain. Lake Louis was just breathtakingly beautiful as if we were in a movie scene. We took the ice explorer vehicle to the ice field which added so much excitement and actually got to play on the glacier! We also took gondola to the top of Mountain at Banff and we were able to enjoy 360 degrees of breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountain and river.

Overall, it was an awesome adventure. Our guide (Hoon) was great as he lives in the area and had lots of local knowledge. He was very caring, organized, and patient with everyone in the group throughout the trip. The bus driver (Mr. No) also drove us around comfortably and safely. Highly recommend this trip to everyone.
