08 INTRODUCING FULLY ESCORTED TOURING / Canada & Alaska Fully Escorted Touring Vancouver, British Columbia Sit back and relax as you enjoy the sights and experience new adventures while making new friends and exploring the country together on a fully escorted tour. We present to you a selection of the wide range of fully escorted tours that we offer. You will have the benefit of a hassle-free journey as your Tour Leader takes care of all the details, allowing you to enjoy the travel experience and destination. Our Tour Leaders and Guides When travelling with our guides, you will be travelling with your very own talking encyclopedia. Our Tour Leaders are there to bring Canada, the USA and Alaska to life for you. With years of invaluable experience and a passion for North America, they will not only ensure you are logistically guided through your tour with ease, they will also inspire you with their knowledge and always go the extra mile to enhance your holiday. Itinerary Planning Our product development team has been working together on planning itineraries in Canada for close to 20 years. We are very passionate and proud of North America as a travel destination. We have personally experienced the destinations and work consistently on ensuring each itinerary allows you to get the best possible experience with the time you have in each region. We are constantly researching new itineraries and ideas to surprise, inspire and grow with our travellers. Accommodation We select our accommodation based on the location, ensuring that you are within the heart of the destination. The grade of the accommodation is 3½ star to 4 star, which can vary slightly depending on the area. When we go into Regina, Saskatchewan ANDERSON VACATIONS remote or smaller towns we book the best possible accommodation available. Though all our hotels, inns and lodges are carefully chosen, our tours are not about accommodation. Hotels are for laying down your weary head after a day of memorable travel experiences; they shouldn’t be the main focus on tour. A full list of the accommodation on each tour is available on request. Small Group Touring Becoming increasingly popular is Small Group Touring. On many of our itineraries we work with smaller vehicles and driver guides and limit the group size to 20 participants. This allows the group to have a more intimate experience, make new friends and avoid the inconveniences of travelling with a large group of co- travellers. You see more at an easier pace, enjoy the peace and quiet of that special place you’ve always dreamed of, and actually hear the local guide! With small group travel, you can easily venture “off the beaten path,” or visit interesting places while getting around by special means. Small Group Touring features activities that will enrich your travel memories and minimize the time at sightseeing stops, allowing the group to see more or arrive at their destination earlier. Customized Group Touring Whether you are a special interest, sports, student, family or small group travelling together, our group specialist team can assist you with pre-planning your itinerary. This includes your accommodation, sightseeing, transportation, local guides, meals, and unique experiences. We will logistically operate your tour efficiently and professionally. Transportation In addition to our commitment to service, we utilize some of the most modern motor coaches in Canada. We can provide sedans, limousines, touring vans, and 21, 29 or 56 passenger coaches. On the larger coaches, we provide late model coaches equipped with the latest amenities including TV/DVD, public address system, stereo, restroom and reclining seats.
