Spirit of the Rockies Reviews

Our 12 day Globus tour of the Canadian Rockies was excellent! Our Tour Guide (Shelley) and driver (Doug) were real professionals! Rocky Mountaineer and Lake Louise absolute highlights! Fairmont hotels particularly Chateau Lake Louise and Banff Springs Hotel were wonderful!

We had a wonderful time on the spirt to the Rockies staying in fantastic accommodation. The guide was a local and full of interesting knowledge.

Everything about this tour was fantastic. Accommodation at the Fairmonts was first class
Our tour guide Anette was exceptional, with her knowledge and attention to detail. My two days on the Rocky Mountaineer train was an incredible experience with extremely professional staff. And of course all the places we went to with such incredible scenery made ...read more this such a special trip. I would also say that it was very good value for money considering the accommodation and the places visited.

We wanted to see the Canadian Rockies and we selected the 12 day Rocky Mountain tour with Globus as it met our wish list of places to visit. This was our very first ever guided tour, we are normally independent travellers. We decided to go with Globus after reviewing a few other companies and chose to use Global Journeys as they offered a good price, ...read more lower than the Globus catalogue. Global Journeys were extremely easy to deal with and only a phone call away if we had a query. We also chose the tour that provided the majority of our accommodation in Fairmont hotels, these were mostly beautiful, well located hotels.

Our tour was made all the more special by the care and dedication of our guide Mark Love, he was absolutely fabulous. Mark went above and beyond in ensuring every person on the tour, all 37 of us was well cared for. His attention to detail with daily planning was fabulous. We just don't know how he managed to get the snow to fall at exactly the time we visited Medicine Lake. At the lake he shoveled snow to make a path so our shoes wouldn't get too wet. Our coach driver was also a great asset to the tour providing comic relief as well as very safe driving. It also should be said our coach was brand new! Thanks GJ for your attention to detail we certainly had a fabulous journey, one we will remember for a long time.

Wonderful journey through the Rockies - great way to take it all in. Great mix of organised touring and time to explore yourself.

The trip was a real adventure more so than a holiday, moving fairly fast with an abundance of history. The Rockies were outstanding with the majestic mountains, glaciers and turquoise lakes and rapids. Globus choice of hotels were of a high standard with great service.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, the pace was perfect and the hotels were magnificent. Unfortunately we would have liked more time in some of them, but we understand that accommodations are meant for sleeping and the sites and touring are what is on offer. Elaine the tour guide was informative, accommodating and knowledgeable and a pleasure. If this ...read more is a typical Globus holiday then I would travel with them any day.

Very happy with the tour. Very friendly tour guide and driver, excellent accommodation, beautiful scenery. Would recommend this tour to anyone.
