I had negative thoughts about this travel package prior this trip due to the negative reviews i came across online until I personally experienced it myself. It was an awesome 3-day tour with fully organized itineraries and tour guides espec..ially Jerry was very helpful. I, together with my company had an amazing experience. Looking forward for my next travel with you.Read full review
Bad itinerary ever!
Reservation # E-2031472
We are now the fourth day of the 5 days Canadian Rockies mountains tour , I write to give up the tour now and complain the ridiculous arrangement of the itinerary.
As I thought that you are the l..eading and professional travel agency among the industry and now we are very disappointed.
We have the following complaint:
1) Almost everyday we need to spend at least six hours travelling to and fro the same highways for the same repeated starting points as to go to the destinations that are within two hours drives in distance.
Supposedly it should be a circuit route arranged.
2) One of my family member is 84 years old lady. No any appropriate advice from your so called TOUR4FUN experts office was given and we need to give up the tour on the last day after four days torture.please refer the follows:
3) The lunch time everyday is less then one hours everyday which is not make sense (including getting off from the coach, finding restaurant, order and waitOMG for the food, getting back to coach)
Moreover, we pay extra money to book 2 rooms for three people for including the 80+ old lady and myself 60 years old, our rooms were assigned far far away (like today rooms one at fifth and the other at third floor ) that we could not take care of each other.
We found that some of the other members like us is planning to complain. That means that we are not the only people not satisfying the false arrangements.
Please refund whole or portion of the money for our time loss or any compensation we should deserved.
As a responsible company, I wish that you will face the matters seriously.

Tour was really good! we visited very nice spots. We would’ve wanted to spend more time in Banff town than just an hour for lunch though. Mike, the driver and Carmen, our guide were super friendly and kind, although it was sometimes hard.. to understand Carmen when she speaks in EnglishRead full review
Sights are all fantastic. Athabasca Glacier's tour guide, Eliz, provided the best and most engaging commentary. Hence the best experience of the tour.
The main tour vehicle sound system could be better as the sound quality at the rear end ..was muffled for me, a senior. But when we sat in front the guide's comments were clearer. Video system in the coach could be activated for schedule reminders and synchronised with the location via GPS or pre-recorded messages to enhance tourists' experience. The management of the coach mechanical stalling and delay departing from the Icefield Center could be better.
For a first time customer of T4F, I did not find my queries during reservation, not adequately responded by T4F. Now I understand better T4F's standard format, a "one size fit all" approach. A more personal attention to initial enquiries would improve customer service. While the actual tour operation was contracted out and not wholly controlled by T4F, the initial reservation and engagement with customer is. Hence my low rating for this.

Less time at Johnston Canyon. At our age we needed more time to complete uneven 865 m walk to see the first falls. It will always remain a regret as we couldn't view such exciting attraction due to lack of sufficient time. Good luck for oth..er senior tourists.Read full review

A fabulous tour through what could possibly be some of the prettiest areas in the world! It's so nice to leave all of the logistics in the capable hands of the tour guide and bus driver and just enjoy the experience. I commend Gordon for th..e excellent way he managed the tour.Read full review
I am usually the taking-a-rental-car type of traveller, but I am so glad that I did the tour cos it gave me a great introduction not just to the park, but also to all the practicalities around. I would never be able to recognise all the mou..ntains and lakes and all the stories behind if I were to do it on my own.
Also I am glad to see that the national parks in Canada have stricter rules on how many people/cars are allowed to each spot, the parking lots are generally smaller and off-site and people would need to take a shuttle to get there. Not to mention that even the road to the Moraine lake is closed (already around 10pm in early September) when the parking lot (for private cars) is full. However, being on a tourbus you don't have to worry abou none of that since they are designated parking for that.
Note that the cruise to the Maligne lake is very weather dependent, all cruise on the morning of Sep 5 (sunny day) was cancelled due to the heavy fog just surrounding the lake area. The lake staff the best time is to come here in a hot clear day in the afternoon.
I was on two different busses during the 4-day tour with two different guides. The first driver we had – Mike, was a great driver and full of charisma. I saw him documenting each stop we made with his logbook very carefully, also sang for us and explained about the park environmental issues.
Some improvements would be better cleaning of the buses, I could see stains on the bus windows which is not so pleasant when you wnat to take lots of pictures.
And yes the tour is mostly catered to Chinese tourists, some guides are better in English than others, but generally I think all the non-Chinese speaking on our buses were quite content.
You might not get the best hotel rooms with a view, or do an upgrade.
Afterall very content with the tour, ready to go back and explore on my own now I know which are my favorites.Read full review
