Seine River Cruise

Read Birgy's Bio

Our journey along the Seine River on Scenic Gem exceeded every expectation. It was the perfect blend of luxury, culture, and adventure. Every stop showcased the stunning landscapes, fascinating history, and unique charm of the region. The outstanding cuisine, complemented by exceptional local wines, provided an authentic taste of French culture and hospitality.

This was far more than a river cruise; it was an immersive and unforgettable experience that captured the very heart and soul of France. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to experience such an extraordinary journey. The memories created, the places discovered, and the exceptional care provided throughout made this a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that I will cherish for years to come.

Thank you, Wells Gray Tours for making this remarkable adventure possible.

Croatia by Bike & Boat

Having been to Croatia once before, I thought I had a good sense of what to expect, but exploring the
country by bike gave me a completely different perspective. After taking this trip, I truly feel that combining
small boat sailing with cycling is one of the best ways to experience Croatia. Sailing allowed us to access
lesser-known islands that would have been difficult to reach otherwise, and exploring them by bike created
a slower, more immersive experience that made it easier to genuinely connect with each place we visited.
What stood out to me most was how effortless the experience felt as a guest. The route planning, navigation,
gear, meals, and daily logistics were all thoughtfully arranged, which allowed us to simply enjoy the journey.
As someone who strives to create that same feeling for our own clients, I came away genuinely impressed
by the care and organization behind the trip.

Croatia by Bike & Boat

Biking through Croatia was such an incredible way to experience and truly learn about the country. The
scenery was absolutely out of this world, with rides through vineyards, olive groves, charming seaside
villages, mountain towns, and breathtaking viewpoints overlooking the coastline and the Adriatic Sea. The
islands were quiet and peaceful, making for safe and enjoyable cycling routes each day. After our rides, it
was such a treat to return to our luxury yacht, where we were spoiled by an amazing crew and delicious
meals. Our cycling guides were passionate, knowledgeable, fun, and always made safety a priority while
sharing the history and culture of the region. We also loved having time to swim in the crystal-clear waters
of the Adriatic and explore local shops and restaurants along the way. This was truly an unforgettable trip,
and I loved every second of it!

“My two-day journey aboard the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff was truly one for the books. Travelling in the glass-domed coaches offered breathtaking panoramic views—towering snow-capped peaks, winding rivers, and stunning mountain valleys at every turn, all without leaving your seat. The friendly and knowledgeable staff enhanced the ride by sharing captivating stories and insights that really brought the surroundings to life. Another standout was the food—thoughtfully prepared, locally inspired meals paired perfectly with wine. Everything ran smoothly, with a relaxed pace that allowed plenty of time to soak in the scenery. This was far more than just a train ride—it was an extraordinary experience that I’ll always remember. I’d highly recommend it to anyone seeking natural beauty, and a bit of adventure.”

“My favourite trip last year was visiting the Arctic with Wells Gray Tours and Adventure Canada. Walking on the unspoiled tundra landscapes taught me to appreciate the past. Witnessing hundreds of Beluga Whales off the shore of Prescott Island playing in the shallow water close to shore as they watched us with curiosity, was a reminder to have fun and be adventurous. Experiencing the dancing of the Northern Lights, from the stern of the ship, with no light pollution showed me to live life with an open heart.”

“The Northwest Passage Journey will undoubtedly change your life. It certainly changed mine! Experiencing Greenland and Nunavut in the High Arctic on this Expedition-style cruise was beyond amazing! The knowledge of the on-board experts is unparalleled, and you will have endless opportunities to immerse yourself into learning about the land, culture and so much more on the ship and while exploring the vast beauty of the landings and the waters on your zodiac outings. My favourite part of this adventure was everything! The people, the wildlife, the landscape, and the feeling that came over me when I saw an Iceberg for the first time. I had the privilege of experiencing so many places most people never get to see thanks to Wells Gray Tours and Adventure Canada! An Experience of a lifetime! Most importantly, it was incredibly fun! You’re going to love it!”

Julie Saucier, Group Coordinator

“I love to travel with Wells Gray Tours as they take care of everything, and all I have to do is pack. I recently took my granddaughters on a tour with me and we all had such a wonderful time! It was so nice not doing all the planning and being able to spend quality time together. We all loved Fly Over Canada & Cirque Du Soleil. Such wonderful memories, and now they want to come on every tour with me!” Judy Yeomans
“I had so much fun travelling with my Granny. I loved the hotels in Vancouver and Victoria and the really nice breakfast’s”. McKenna Fraser
“I can’t wait to go on another tour. Spending quality time with my Granny was so special.”

Thank You Wells Gray Tours!

Wells Gray Tours does a great job of keeping travellers happy. I have now gone on over 25 tours with the company and have never been disappointed. One of my favorite tours was to Colorado, where we rode 6 different historic old railroads in the mountains. Another has to be visiting Haida Gwaii. The show tours are also great fun-one of the best was to Leavenworth to see 3 different musicals, all presented on the ski hill on consecutive nights. And of course, Christmas in Victoria – what a beautiful way to spend Christmas if you have no family to share it with. Of course I have to mention the Four Rivers of Europe, the 2019 President’s Cruise. Having Wells Gray’s founder Roland Neave and his family along was a special treat. Some of my favorite memories are of the people I have met, and the caring tour directors that accompany us on every trip. I am now looking forward to visiting Newfoundland, and the Sable Island.
Thank you Wells Gray Tours, and Lynne in the Vernon office!

I love travelling with Wells Gray Tours!

They make everything so easy. All I do is book a tour, pack a suitcase, walk 2 blocks to the pickup point, enjoy a wonderful trip and then walk back the 2 blocks home. They do everything else and have wonderful tour guides to look after us. I have made 62 tours (555 days) and seen the world with them, literally, two trips took me right around the world! They have all been fabulous, such as Tanzania, the Antarctic, Iceland, the Siberian Railway, Australia, and European River tours. My next exciting one is Japan. A highlight on one tour was being presented with my diamond pin and I also received the 7 continent trophy last year. I have travelled by myself most of the time and always find another person or two to connect up with for company and then meet them on another trip. I have met quite a few friends that way. I am also the proud recipient of the most travelled award for 2 years and this past year came runner-up. I recommend Wells Gray Tours to anyone who even mentions travelling, they could not do better.
