Tour Overview

A seamless mix of dynamic, modern and good ol’ fashioned western fun, Calgary is quintessential Canada. But all bets are off each summer when this sophisticated metropolis plays host to boisterous rip-roaring rodeo in the ‘Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth’, the Calgary Stampede. After witnessing the festivities, trade in your cowboy boots for walking boots as you trek through some of the most incredible scenery Canada has to offer in Banff, Jasper and the Rockies. If you're looking for a real taste of Canadian cowboy culture, our Calgary Stampede holiday is a great choice.

Day 1

Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home for your flight to Calgary.</p>

Day 2

The Stampede Parade is an exciting kick-off to ten days of good ol’ fashioned western fun. The parade showcases elaborate floats, bands and riders as they move through the streets of downtown Calgary.</p>This afternoon, we transfer to Stampede Park in time to take your reserved seat for the Rodeo. Witness the world’s best athletes compete in six major events including bareback, bull-riding, barrel racing and saddle bronco. Explore the park a little before your transfer back to the hotel. Calgary boasts a great choice of dining venues including award-winning restaurants, steakhouses and pubs.</p>

Day 3

This morning we make the most of the Calgary hospitality and visit Rope Square where you can indulge in pancakes and bacon hot off the griddles from the back of the authentic Chuckwagons. Enjoy the sights and sounds of bands, dancers and an old-fashioned gun fight; plus you may be invited to compete in the Lammle’s World Champion Hat Stomp Competition.</p>We head back to Stampede Park this afternoon, where you can take the Skyride for a bird&#39;s-eye view of the action, visit the agricultural barns, and watch the entertainment on one of the many stages.</p>Your evening entertainment begins with the heart-stopping Chuckwagon Races in an all-out dash for the finish line. Chuckwagon racing is an amazing contest of nerves and horsepower. Then as the sun goes down, the Grandstand plays host to a spectacular outdoor stage show featuring hundreds of singers, dancers and musicians before the firework finale.</p>

Day 4

We head for the Rockies. En route we stop at Boundary Ranch, where you’re treated to a barbecue lunch and horse-drawn wagon ride. After arriving in Banff, you have some free time this afternoon.</p>

This morning we transfer to famous Lake Louise, named after Queen Victoria’s fourth daughter, Princess Louise Caroline Alberta. We stop at the Chateau, a luxury hotel, for some picture-postcard views of the lake and Victoria Glacier. There’s time to take an optional gondola ride or enjoy lunch at the Chateau before we visit the surrounding area and lakes including Moraine Lake.</p>

Day 6

Today is free to explore Banff, claimed by many to be the loveliest town in North America. Surrounded by the soaring mountain peaks of and lush green parkland, there’s a wide choice of wonderful walks on offer.</p>You can take a gondola ride to Sulphur Mountain, the ‘top of the world’ at 7,500ft, providing spectacular views over the surrounding mountains, Bow River and Banff Town. You could also visit the hot springs or just stroll around and take it easy in the town’s caf&#233;s. This evening, discover Banff’s nightlife or sample the range of restaurants.</p>

Day 7

Today we head northwards through the Rockies to Jasper. We stop at the Columbia Icefield for another highlight of the trip - an included Ice Explorer ride onto the surface of the Athabasca Glacier (weather dependent). Your journey is led by an experienced driver/guide, who shares a wealth of fascinating information about glaciers, icefields and their impact on our environment. There’s also the opportunity to safely step out onto the glacier and stand on this powerful ancient ice.</p>As we journey on, our road cuts high-forested valleys which occasionally obscure the jagged mountain peaks. Be sure to watch out for the wildlife along the way, including bears, bighorn sheep and elk.</p>

This morning we head off for an unforgettable journey that begins with the limestone gorge of Maligne Canyon and continues along the shore of Medicine Lake, Maligne River and one of the most photographed spots in the world, the magnificent Maligne Lake.</p>This evening we enjoy an included dinner with an interpretative talk.</p>

Recently returned from the great...

08-Apr-2024

Recently returned from the great Indian rail journey.My wife and I could hardly believe the value for money.From pick ups from Durham to Heathrow and back,to the number of coach and train journeys , quality hotels, great choice of food throughout and our first night in Heathrow Hilton. What really made our trip a success was our guide, Prashant,who managed a party of twenty four very varied, sometimes a little unpredictable travellers with ease.Nothing was too much trouble for him and as a group we gelled and warmed to Prashant as he kept us safe, well informed and a little entertained by his mix of authority and humanity.Where do I begin with the tour itself ? India,a country of extremes.Poverty,wealth,order,chaos.Sometimes bleak,often breathtakingly beautiful.The people,the cities,art, architecture,flaura and fauna.Delhi,Jaipur, Amritsar,Agra, Ranthambore, Chandigarh and the icing on the cake that is Shimla. An absolute masterclass of man versus nature,the railway and buildings are an unbelievable feat,but wait until you see the dual carriageway being built on the mountainside.🤯I could go on for a very long time but I'll just post some photos.Thanks to Titan,thanks to the excellent Prashant and and a massive thanks to the other twenty two travellers who helped shape our holiday of a lifetime.🏁💜

I have booked the Icelandic Adventure holiday with Titan Travel, the Booking Staff was pleasant throughout. What I love about Titan Travel, transfer from your home to the airport and vice versa is included in the holiday.

Exceptional trip and service by Titan

04-Oct-2022

Just returned from a fabulous tour of California & the golden west. It’s a full on tour with early starts but you see so much varied landscape from the ocean to the desert to Yosemite. My 2nd tour with Titan & my first solo tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it & met some great people. Grand Canyon was amazing would definitely recommend

Not merely a holiday, rather a memorable experience

29-Dec-2022

I have used other travel operators; this was the 1st time of touring with Titan----Israel, The Holy Land, from being collected from home and returned at the end of the holiday this was an unforgettable experience; the Tour Manager, a PhD Archaeology made the whole tour so interesting, he enlightened us throughout each day from an historical, archeological and Biblical viewpoint, bringing each site we visited come to life, and went over and above his remit escorting us for evening trips around the local area; thanks also to our very patient driver who coped with the very busy traffic; our hotels were good, professional and pleasant staff and really good food; I would recommend Titan to anyone looking for a fascinating tour with excellent efficient service thank you Titan nor just for a holiday for a memorable experience

We had a fantastic holiday...

26-May-2023

We had a fantastic holiday in Mississippi. Right from our chauffeur driven car picking us up to the return journey, we had a great time. The first hotel The Gaylord was amazing,absolutely huge,first class. The second The Double tree in Memphis unfortunately wasn't, the hotel was tired and very basic, the only plus was where it is situated in the centre of town, we were only there two nights so it wasn't to bad. The American Queen Steam Boat was first class all the way, thoroughly enjoyed the seven nights sailing down the Mississippi. The last hotel the Sheraton New Orleans was very comfortable too. Our guide throughout our time away was Laura Tuttle. she was amazing, very knowledgeable, and helpful. We also had a coach driver Guil, who went over and beyond to give you the best time. Other coach guides included Jim,who was so funny, and also very knowledgeably. Very entertaining throughout. The entire itinerary itinerary was very well thought out, included a huge variety of visits to different Interesting locations. Highly recommend using Titan for all your holiday destinations.

Perfect Italian Holiday…

31-Oct-2022

Just returned from a lovely week in Sorrento at the Grand Hotel Hermitage, we had an excellent guide Peter Macchristopher. we loved the hotel the staff were very nice especially in the dining rooms, the food was good and the room we had was really nice with a wonderful view. Altogether very good value holiday.we felt the trip to Pompei was very good also boat trip to Amalfi. I would recommend a walk to the village of St Agatha and a three hour ride on the Little Blue Train. Great fun.this can be booked at reception.

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!!...

03-Feb-2024

THE GREAT INDIAN RAIL JOURNEY!!!! (Dreadful) Avoid Titan and Saga at all costs. False descriptions of the tour and dreadful administration Returned to the UK last evening with a great sigh of relief after the worst holiday ever. 1. No block booking of airplane seats by Titan. (Husband and I sat apart on the long, overnight flight) 2. Unable to pre-book seats as Titan reference numbers did not coincide with anything. 3. Husband and I not sat together on any of the train journeys! In fact, on one occasion I was sat, alone on a sleeper carriage, a couple of carriages away from the rest of the group who were scattered over two or three carriages. Terrifying as a female to be sat alone in the midst of noisy locals!!!!! (Eventually the guide, Rahi, did come to rescue me and found a seat near the main group) 4. The guide, Rahi, would usually get off the coach and begin walking off without waiting for all the group to disembark the coach. (Spot the guide in the crowd!) 5. The guide, Rahi, refused to use any identifying prop such as a flag, hat, jacket or umbrella. Frightening to be in the manic crowds of Delhi and other crowded places to be unable to see the guide. 6. NO AUDIO HEADSET system on any excursion 7. The guide, Rahi, didn’t face the whole group, but stood sideways on and was unable to be heard by the majority. 8. OUTRAGEOUS behaviour by the guide when he enquired as to the whereabouts of my husband, whom I explained was in bed with an upset stomach and was feeling unwell. Rahi DID A REVERSE AIR PUNCH😳😳. This was in response to an earlier conversation when my husband had complained about our separate seating arrangements. TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL 9. When we arrived at Heathrow to find our aircraft seats were not allocated, we were advised to speak to our guide on arrival at Delhi. Rahi merely shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn’t do anything. 10. Tour pace incorrect - gruelling pace and only half a day relaxation due to the guide, Rahi, throwing in visits to shops and factories fie him to earn his commission as I head him tell another!!!!!!! 11. When off loaded the return flight due to illness, we were unable to get in contact with Titan/Saga. Left in Delhi without an hotel or flight!!! Found accommodation but didn’t remove shoes or clothes due to the poor standard. Final summary: Poor, disappointing, inefficient, incompetent, misleading, misrepresentations, are just a few words to describe.

Luxury VIP door to door...

17-Jul-2023

Luxury VIP door to door travel! I don't think so....Titan sent a Toyota Prius uber to Stanstead for a return journey to Newport, S Wales. 4 adults plus luggage! the experience was anything but luxurious. Contacted Titan on the return journey and since return. They simply didn't seem interested and offered us a £300 travel discount off a future trip! After a lot of emails they converted it to a £300 cash refund. Give it a lot of thought before booking !
