The experience

The tour leaves Canada Place at 8:00 am on Day 1, heading east through the Fraser Valley and into the Okanagan Valley, Canada's desert region. You'll stop at a winery for a tasting, have free time to explore and eat lunch, then pass through Craigellachie, the historic site of the Last Spike. That evening you check into your hotel in Revelstoke and have time to walk the town's dining and shopping options.

Day 2 starts with breakfast at the hotel, then moves toward the famous turquoise lakes of the Rockies. You'll stop at Rogers Pass Summit en route, pause for lunch, and reach Lake Louise with free time to explore. The afternoon takes you to Moraine Lake for more photo stops before driving into Banff. Once there, the guide leads a sightseeing tour hitting Banff Avenue, Bow Falls and the Banff Springs Hotel. The evening is yours to explore the town, with guides available to recommend restaurants.

Day 3 heads north along the Icefields Parkway, where you'll see another turquoise lake and have the option to book an Ice Explorer Glacier Tour for an extra cost.
