Tour prices are per person in U.S. dollars.
All hotel accommodations, motor coach transportation, sightseeing, admissions, luggage handling, and the services of local guides, drivers and the Tauck Director are included. No transportation is provided from Calgary International Airport to The Fairmont Palliser at the start of the tour. On the last day of the tour, Tauck will provide one group transfer from The Fairmont Banff Springs that will arrive at Calgary International Airport at 10:00 AM. Please allow at least two hours for flight check-in. Hotel Accommodations – The tour price includes all hotel accommodations with private baths. The Tauck standard is to provide the best available accommodations without sacrificing value. Although the quality may differ slightly from place to place, this standard remains uncompromised. Two-bedded rooms are reserved in most hotels. Triples are two-bedded rooms with a rollaway cot where available and are not recommended for comfort. Glacier National Park is one of the most scenic and remote U.S. National Parks in North America. Lake McDonald Lodge and Many Glacier Hotel, the best hotels located inside the park, are operated by the U.S. National Park Service and are only open three months each year; the service staff are part-time and relatively inexperienced. Also, with a short season, it is economically difficult for these hotels to improve their facilities. Therefore, these hotels will not compare to Tauck’s hotels in other locations. We expect you will find the majestic scenery of the park well worth visiting despite the marginal accommodations and service. Meals: 8 Breakfasts, 5 Lunches & 8 Dinners Tauck Director – Each ‘Canadian Rockies & Glacier National Park’ tour is conducted by a Tauck Director who remains with the group throughout the tour. Your Tauck Director is a professional, fully trained employee of Tauck. Gratuities Included – All gratuities for restaurant and hotel staffs and local guides are included. No Options Sold – Your Tauck Director will assist you with information on free-time activities based on honest opinion and guidance, but will not sell you anything. This means better value and a more relaxed, pleasant experience for you.
