Canadian Leisure Product

A unique way to see Western Canada ... & you're not just a number!

Unlike the majority of coach tours which oprerate to Western Canada, with as many as 50 passengers on board, our small & friendly series allow for your personal interests and requests to be considered every minute of the day.

Our tours are limited to a maximum of 9 passengers per tour - this allows for the daily itinerary to be flexible, allowing you more time to stay at the places that interest you.

The tours also benefit from accommodation being in small and more intimate Canadain lodges & hotels, giving you the feeling of much more independence, whilst they still provide you with a pre-planned itinerary and the benefit of a friendly and knowledgeble guide throughout.

Select from a 7 or 10 Small & Friendly Coach Tour, or from one of may other exciting packages included in our 2006 Canada bochure.
