Editor’s Take

What to Look for in Canada Tour Reviews 

Most trip reviews tend to focus on some or all of these 5 key areas, not all of which may be relevant to you: the tour guide, travel company, service level, country or countries traveled in, and the trip itinerary.

Remember, just because you see a 1-star review doesn’t necessarily mean that person disliked the country.

Overall, most travelers in Canada who reviewed their trip felt that the experience was an enjoyable one. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive, with 4.7 stars out of 5 being the average rating for all 6 aspects of Stride’s review criterion. As a highly developed country with both urban centers and sprawling wildernesses, tour operators in Canada have had apparent success in giving travelers authentic experiences in both settings. 

It is important to note that a portion of reviews on tours in Canada specifically reflect cruise-ship tours, as they are a very popular way to travel through the country. Travelers who are looking to visit Canada are encouraged to consider the mode of transportation that they wish to take, as this helps with finding relevant reviews of specific types of tour operators.

From the significant number of 4-5 star reviews of tours in Canada, it is clear that tour operators have worked hard to bring travelers to the parts of the country that they most wish to see. In particular, group tours through schools or other educational institutions seem to be the happiest with their experiences. Many of these types of reviewers cited a specific tour operator that they use each time their institution plans a trip to Canada with large groups of students. 

Customer service is an aspect of travel that not every visitor may think about when planning a trip to Canada, yet the way it is constantly praised by reviewers shows how important it is to tour operators in the country. Solo or small group travelers were most vocal about the organized nature of tours, which allowed them to experience the landscape through safe camping or hiking activities. 

These types of reviewers also stated that the balance between free-time and structured activities was a manageable one that leaned towards an emphasis on independence. 

A handful of negative experiences with cruise-ship companies were the main concerns, especially when it came to luggage handling or room specifics. Travelers who participated in mainland tours were similarly disappointed by certain travel and lodging accommodations. The highly negative reviews were centered largely around specific tour companies that travelers felt had unfair return policies or hidden fees. 

When it comes to touring Canada, travelers are encouraged to consider all aspects of group or solo travel. In the event that unforeseen circumstances take place, it is important to know the return policies of specific tour operators. Finding the most effective and comfortable manners to experience Canada’s rural areas and urban centers is the best way to enjoy a trip to one of the most vibrant countries in the world.
