What our Canada experts say...

Canada Expert Paul

By Paul

“Canada is an amazing country and so vast with spectacular scenery. Being able to share my experiences with customers and create their own personal holiday is very special.” 

First-hand Travel Experience in Canada

The sheer size of Canada makes it perfect for hitting the open road and moving closer to some of the country’s most dramatic landscapes and famous locations. Whether that’s driving yourself or allowing others to take care of transport for you, there’s so much to see. During my time at My Canada Trips, I’ve enjoyed self-drive holidays and an escorted tour itinerary which were exciting and unforgettable.
 

You’re in control on a self-drive adventure

My Canada road trips have taken me from Calgary to Vancouver, passing through vibrant and contrasting landscapes from the Rockies in Alberta to the beautiful coastlines of British Columbia. I’ve also driven to Vancouver Island including Telegraph Cove and Berry Island Wilderness Lodge (previously known as Farewell Harbour Lodge).
 

No hassle on an escorted tour

If you want to have everything taken care for you and be led by an expert guide taking you to the main sights, an escorted tour in Canada is just for you. Travelling in a luxury, air-conditioned coach, it’s a fantastic way for those who don’t want to drive large distances and instead you can relax and admire the views. In September 2024, I enjoyed a Rockies Summer Premium Tour. The scenery was breathtaking and being able to sit back on the bus and enjoy the guide’s commentary was excellent.
 

Paul’s Expert Advice

Top 3 Must-Do Experiences in Canada

  • Calgary Stampede – Known as “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”, this rodeo, music and arts festival takes place every July and is a celebration of western heritage.
  • Vancouver Island – A special destination with wild coastlines, temperate rainforests, and abundant wildlife.
  • Niagara Falls – one of the most spectacular sights in the world, never mind just Canada. An unmissable attraction.

Hidden gem destination most people miss

  • Okanagan Valley - Home to world-class wineries, the valley features a dry climate, with hot summers and mild winters, bordered by mountains and pine forests.

 

What our clients say about Paul

An excellent and professional service from My Canada Trips

Paul Connolly was brilliant. He was very friendly and engaging. Paul listened to my questions and was happy to adapt the Tour to meet my requirements. Paul read my proposed itinerary and made suggestions. He responded very promptly and we now have a wonderful holiday to look forward to. Post booking this holiday Paul has remained in touch and again promptly responded to my queries about flights and baggage allowances.

Trusted Customer

 

Excellent so far

It is less than a week since I booked my Canada trip and so far my experience has been excellent. It started with an email one evening telling them what trip we wanted to do, how many people/rooms required and a few other preferences. By 11am next day, I received a detailed quote from Paul which was exactly what we required. I clicked the link to "Call me Back" and received a call from Paul within an hour. He was very knowledgeable and answered all the queries I had so I booked and paid the deposit. The next day I paid the outstanding balance and sent an email asking them to ticket the flights so that I could book seats on the plane. Within 2 hours I received an email confirming the flights had been ticketed and giving me the booking reference and I booked our seats without any issues. Having read many reviews about MyCanadaTrips, I am confident that my trip will go according to plan and without issue.
