We loved our trip to the Rocky Mountains with Westar. The sights of lake Louise, Moraine lake and the Colombia Icefield were absolutely stunning and something we will remember for a long time.
Westar made everything run perfectly smoothly, and the guides Tim, Helena and Stella were fabulous. Thankyou for a great trip!

Not a good tour, thought it would be one group for a few days but essentially they just book a hotel and put you on various day trips. Not very well organised and not enjoyable. I didn’t book with enough time to be included on the day’s activities but very little support to book on to the activities as no detailed itinerary provided on timings or what to book. At the ice field for instance, they didn’t advise only time for part of the tour so I wasted money on a full ticket.
