The entire trip was fantastic. Our tour director Jeff was very friendly and calm, organized and informative, and our driver Andrew was lively and helpful with bags etc. The bus was very comfortable, the accommodation was also very good. Couldn't fault the experience. Thoroughly recommend Key West.

Our tour guide Jeff was very knowledgeable and willingly answered any questions we had. Brian our bus driver was fantastic, slowing the bus down when he could so we could see the wildlife. We covered all places listed on the itinerary and more. All accommodation was good and easily accessible to the townships. A great way to see the Canadian Rockies.
