We're hoping to take a cruise to Alaska next summer and would like to see Banff, Lake Louise, Victoria and leave on the cruise from Vancouver. Does anyone know of any land tour websites that would cover these areas. We don't want to drive ourselves (four senior citizens) because the drivers seem to miss out on a lot of the scenery, not to mention getting lost. Any suggestions?

Have you considered taking a train?

The Rocky Mountaineer travels from Vancouver to Banff (and presumably back to Vancouver).
Their website:

Most of the cruise companies offer before or after packages to Banff. Specifically I know Holland America and Princess do. If you don't want those, (and they are usually way overpriced), Brewsters is the best tour company to the Banff/Jasper area. I guess the site would be www.brewsters.com or the like.

Brewsters website for tours is:

www.brewsters.ca

Other web addresses get you to Brewsters brewing company (beer and pubs), and the Brewster's Mountain Lodge in Banff.

You can browse through a selection of tours by coach (bus) and train at the tour website.
Happy exploring!!
