Canada & Alaska 31 Day Tour   0 , QLD, Australia, May 2023
To say our trip to Canada and Alaska was amazing is an under statement. It was a trip that included everything you could think of plus more. Waking up to a Niagara falls sunrise view from our room was just breathtaking, as per our attached photo. Our tour guide Lezlie, on the east coast was excellent. Our tour guide Zac on west coast and Alaska was ...read more nothing less than amazing. His knowledge and compassion for the country and the environment is second to none. Also his care and concern for our group was always evident, thank you Zac. Also Georgie from Global Journeys was very helpful and arranged everything as I requested, thank you Georgie. We would not hesitate to use Global Journeys, or travel with Travelmarvel again.
