With APT, the wonders of Canada and Alaska are within your reach and will soon be part of your memory of a truly unforgettable holiday. APT's included touring highlights take in all the classic sights of Canada and Alaska, from iconic destinations to the quaint places that embody the diversity of this fascinating part of the world. APT recognises that not all travellers have the same interests. That's why we have developed Freedom of Choice touring, allowing you to choose your own activities in selected locations - adding a personal touch to your holiday. With Freedom of Choice Touring you are presented with a selection of different touring activities to choose from in feature locations. Whether it be a nature walk in Jasper, a round of golf in Banff, a Traditional High Tea at The Fairmont Empress in Victoria, or walking tours through the highlights of Montréal or Québec, select the activity that best suits your interests and we will incorporate it into your itinerary.

Travel documents, including your travel kit (with luggage labels, ticket wallet, personalised itinerary, touring information and travel bag), are sent approximately two to three weeks prior to departure from your home country, provided full payment has been received.

Travel with like-minded English speaking people from such countries as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, America and Canada. Our seat rotation policy allows you to mix with fellow travellers and see spectacular landscapes from all angles. Our clients are generally 50+, but more than age a positive attitude is important in a group situation. We have found ages to be as diverse and varied as the sites and attractions you will see on tour.

There will be a maximum of 44 people on your coach, however the coach carries an average of just 40 guests.

APT's fleet of luxury motor coaches provides you with the pinnacle of touring luxury. Coaches feature as standard: air-conditioning, toilet/restroom, video screen, comfortable reclining seats with foot rests, state of the art sound system, on-board drinking water, air suspension and large panoramic windows.

Who better to show you the sights than a local? All of our Tour Directors are Canadians who will show you the best their country has to offer. With their help, explore famed sights, find great bargains and discover hidden treasures. APT Tour Directors are known as being the very best in the business. They are experienced, knowledgeable and friendly - but most importantly, they are passionate about Canada and Alaska, and they're passionate about making sure the APT experience of these countries is everything our travellers dream it will be. For every step of your journey, your Tour Director will be present to personally assist with any need that might arise. Whether it's help with the day's touring or a special request, our Tour Directors are there to ensure your trip runs as smoothly as possible.

The diverse flavours and tastes you will savour while travelling form an integral part of your journey. Enjoy cosmopolitan delights in Vancouver, classic French cuisine in Québec and baked salmon in Ketchikan. Dine on fresh produce, innovative local cuisine and new flavours during a range of unique dining experiences. Your discovery of Canada and Alaska is not just limited to each day's activities - an array of culinary delights is also waiting to be discovered at each and every location on tour. Enjoy delicious à la carte or buffet meals and gain an insight into the regional specialties enjoyed by locals. In Whistler, watch your meal being prepared at the award-winning show kitchen restaurant Aubergine Grille; enjoy traditional and innovative dishes crafted from local ingredients at Lure Seafood Restaurant in Victoria; and in Toronto, dine on regional produce prepared with classic French touches at EPIC Restaurant.

Many passengers travel with APT on their own. This means that you will be accommodated in a single room. Alternatively (on many of our tours), you can choose to be matched up with a person of the same gender and pay the twin price. In this instance, accommodation will be in twin-bedded rooms. If APT can't find someone of the same gender to share with you, they will give you a single room at no extra cost. (Note: Canada land only)

We have a dedicated section on our website providing more detailed information on APT including FAQ's on what you need to know before, during and after your travel; as well as information on their 'Touring Styles', and a comprehensive search facility to enable you to easily find more of their tours.
