Mrs Harlan - Travelled to Alberta & BC"Every thing went as smooth as clockwork"
I would like to thank you all, especially Joanne, for organising our amazing fly drive holiday to Canada. Every thing went as smooth as clockwork, with lovely accommodations, and well thought out instructions to them. We saw bears, caribou, chipmunks, and moose, but we were all amazed at the scenery, every twist in the road was another photographic scene, we shall recommend this holiday through your company, to all our friends.
