We are driving along one of the most beautiful highways in the world called the Icefield Parkway. This scenic route brings you from Banff National Park to Jasper National Park.

After your first rest & relax night we will start exploring all the highlights of both the North & South Aotearoa New Zealand Islands by coach with our experienced driver.

The first Tour Date starts in October 2025, which is Spring Time and the second one starts in April 2026, Fall in New Zealand.
TD Services and Countries visited
I’m Ria, founder and director of Canada Special Tours Inc., a fully Canadian-owned Group Travel Business. As a professional Tour Director, I’m an expert in Europe, having grown up in the Netherlands and traveled extensively throughout Europe. With over 12 years of experience in Southeast Asia, I’ve gained a deep understanding of diversity, cultures and customs. Since 2010, my focus has been guiding tours within Canada.
Providing Tour Director services in multiple languages is definitely an asset. I am trilingual, fluent in English, Dutch, and German.
Some of my journeys so far; all the green areas of the map are the countries I traveled to and through for decades, both for work and leisure!
Happy Travels, Ria
