Amazing holiday to The Rockies, Vancouver & Victoria.
My wife and I have just returned from an amazing 2 week holiday to Canada all organised by Audley. This was our first holiday organised via Audley and Leo Montavoci, their Canada Senior Country Specialist, was absolutely brilliant throughout the whole process. During our first telephone conversation with Leo right through to his call today to gain our feedback I cannot thank him enough. He was patient during our first call, finding out what we wanted from our holiday and making loads of suggestions. He took the time to discover what sort of people we are such as how adventurous we like to be and how physically able. He was then able to draw up a fairly detailed itinerary using his vast experience, to suggest how long to stay in each place and what to see and do. With a few tweaks such as accommodating my request to book a horse riding experience for my wife we agreed on a final holiday plan. Leo then booked, flights, car hire, hotels and trips, even managing to book us business class flights back with Air Canada all within my allocated budget. Amazing! We flew to Calgary, picked up our pre booked car and drove to Banff on day one without any problems. Leo suggestion to take day 2 easy to get over any jet lag was sensible with a trip up the gondola our only pre booked trip that day. We ate in his recommended restaurant that evening & I enjoyed the best steak I have ever head. Thanks again Leo Horse riding and an evening wildlife tour, both pre booked, were day 3 highlights with a black bear munching dandelions on the roadside verge just amazing. On to Golden for 2 nights followed by a drive up the Icefields Parkway which turned out to be one of 2 outstanding experiences on the trip and strongly recommended by Leo, and now by me! A few nights in Jasper included another wildlife tour before we boarded the Rocky Moutaineer train to Vancouver. This was one of my bucket list requirements for Leo to work in to the plan and turned out to be the other main highlight. Gosh were we spoilt on the 2 day trip. Vancouver followed by a float plane journey to Victoria (cheers Leo for suggesting and arranging that - another first for me) to bring our holiday to a close. Oh forgot to say we did see Orcas and humpback whales on our final organised tour. A packed holiday which went without a hitch. We are so impressed. Thank you Leo.
