the guide with the white black board
My husband and I decided to join group travel into West Canada. A tour-operator and guide both know the highlights you should see as well as the best time to go visit specific places.
And ………… the traveler can be relaxed!
In September 2011 we started our -19 day- tour from Vancouver to Calgary with 14 other Dutch people (all in between 54-73 years old).
And surprise, surprise, we happened to have had the best guide/driver ever; Josette, the lady with her daily `white` blackboard program. She knows so much about nature and was successful in making people enthusiastic. Moreover: she is a humorist!
We spotted bears, bold eagles, whales, seals, beautiful lakes, the gold rush highway, the Rocky Mountains and so much more. We have walked through rainforest, learned about Native culture, seen Native villages as well Cowboy Country. Our tour was more a luxury expedition!
Every day Josette started with a briefing using her `white` blackboard. Everyone was curious each day in a row and we all made pictures of the board.
For us was this tour a beautiful experience thanks to the expert/guide Josette. She’s a power lady!
