Keaton M.   -  Traveled, August 2023

The tour was good but I feel the handling of the van issue should've been resolved better. We drove a van a couple of hundred KM with a problem, and it was worrying for hours as to whether the van would break down on the route with no phone signal or internet. The tour leader reported the issue but nothing was done by GA, there was a day in Whistler that it could've been looked at or swapped for another van. It resulted in us not being able to do certain routes and hikes on the way because of worry of it breaking down. Also, with the fires taking place, there was many changes, there seemed to be no clear and concise plan which meant we could not prepare for day. The plan changed many times, and often without the full groups consideration.
