Tour itinerary was good but late check ins to hotels At 9. To 9.30 way to late. Our tour leader Tony was excellent and Emanuel also good . Hotels started off very good but last two in Rome and Venice were old and very ordinary
We saw a lot of great things, the best in all the cities. We travelled long distances. The bus drivers were smooth drivers making the travel very comfortable. There were extras to pay for certain things but I imagine the tour would have bee..n more expensive if these were included. This type of tour is perfect if you want to see as much as possible without having to walk around a lot.Read full review

We have mixed experiences about this tour. First of all I'm mentioning bad onces & then I will cover good parts.
Bad Experiences:
1. 1st Day Hotel experience is really very bad. The Clarion Hotel in Calgary City having lot of problems lik..e - water logging in bathrooms, mal-functionl AC, very rude behaviour from font desk staff, making delay in alotting rooms though there wre plenty of vacant rooms are there and we already booked rooms in that hotel a month ago.
2. Transportation from Calgary Airport to Clarion Hotel was very problematic as the authorized Cab driver as well as Hotel Front Desk staff were not co-operating for re-imbursing the money initially. We got the money after we had round of escalations with Hotel Management & Tours4Fun.
3. We have prior experiences in travelling with a tour group where personally we didn't checkedin the hotel. But, in this scenario, first 2 days, we have seen this issue where we need to show all details and enquire about our hotel resevations. There was no Tours4Fun or Wester representative to handle that.
4. 4th day's lunch was just a disaster. There are lot of resturants in Jasper town with ecomonical options for meal/foods. But, not sure why they had booked for a Korean Resturant(Kimichi House) with extremely bad-tasted-soup-only-meal. We were not able to eat this. And they were not providing altenate meal option also though it was already paid by us. They should understand that the meal option should be acceptable to generic people and not for a specific region. Even most of our chinese travel-mates also could not manage to eat that bogus meal. Wester/Tours4Fun also not refunding that meal money for both of us.
Good Experiences:
1. Bus coach driver Paul & Tour Guide Lisa were really good & friendly. They were showing and explaining the places very descriptive ways.
2. Lunch at Fairmont Spring Banff Hotel was just awesome.
3. Hotel Voyeger Inn at Banff & Athabasca Hote at Jasper town are good hotels and nice arrangements in rooms. Though both of them are lacking elevator as they are very old & refurbishes recently. The sceni views from them just breathtaking.
4. Breakfast bouffets are good in all 3 hotels - Clarion at Calgary, Hotel Voyeger Inn at Banff & Athabasca Hote at Jasper town.
5. The places where we went for visting all are superb and gorgous. I can't explain their beauties in words.Read full review

We have encountered two kind of Tour guide and busdriver.
You will understand what I mean when you read my comments.
Our tour guide Mr.Winter and bus driver Mr.Minic were excellent(7 days east Canada tour)
Only I did’nt like; Tours4fun d..irected me first day an hotel.The guide was not there.I had to contact with the tour guide.Another tourguide took us from the hotel following morning .And we went another place to join to main group.Our guide arranged a hotel on 05 July at the and of East Canada trip and following day we were transferred another group.I sent an E-mail your customer service related to this split and requested an explanation.I did’t have a proper response.
Also our tour guide Mr. Jerry Ma and bus driver for Niagara tour were not enough good.The tour guide was inexperienced.He could’nt controll the group.The driver was just about the sleep on the way back.He was driving un safe.
The bus just passed 100m away from my hotel on the way back to TORONTO airport.I kindly requested from our tourguide to drop off me there as I had 4 pieces luggage becauseoff overseas flight.His response was very strange.He told me that he couldnt pass my desire to driver and I had to tell mysellf my desire the driver.That was vey rough approach
My strong advise; please make detail explanation step by step your customer.The passenger has to know what he will experience.I digged to learn all details.
Any way thanks for everything.Read full review
It was great fun. Very well managed and well paced over the 4 days. Hotels were great (except Clarion), food was great.. Most importantly, we had a great tour guide (Lisa Rong) as well as a very courteous driver (Paul) with Westar. Lisa rea..lly went out of her way to take care of guests and some of our personal requests specially on the food menu. The driver Paul was very knowledgeable - he knew the mountains and lakes and certainly a great story teller.Read full review
Ben our guide was very informative, the bus driver Vern was always professional but so helpful and quite funny.
The activities were smoothly run and highlights. All hotel rooms were clean, and spacious. The first an last day were long driv..ing days but necessary.Read full review
Tour guide is very unprofessional. Found out that she was sleeping with one of the male travellers in our group. She is interested only to party with the younger travellers. She gives NO notice to the older ladies, who could not cope with t..he group walking, despite she is called upon. She has no local knowledge. She will google about the place as the bus is approaching ,& then read the information from her handphone. She can not speak any of the local language and is dependent on the driver to get us thru the various borders. She is not organised and frankly should not be a tour guide.
Please see attached feedback form, which I have completed for Expat Explorer. Hope this form finds its way back to the compsny.Read full review
The tour was educative and well conducted. The guide was knowledgeable and conducted it well. Right choice to have taken the tour. May be you could improve on the picnic lunch.
