"My wife and I travelled to Canada and Alaska a few years ago with a group of friends. The trip was organised by Charlie Shea, who is a native Canadian. We were blown away by the beauty and variety of all the places we visited in an adventure that ran from the West coast to the East. Much of the travelling in the west was by rented vehicles, with a bit of flying over mountains and overnight sailing by ferry. Charlie’s organisation was second to none, and we all had a great time exploring the lesser-trodden paths in this magnificent land, as well as getting to know the vibrant cities in the East. I wholly recommend Canada to Discover to anyone with a sense of adventure who is looking for a bespoke individual or small group holiday to any part of Canada and Alaska, whether in the cities or off the grid."

‘We experienced a wonderful journey to Canada and Alaska a short time ago that Charlie organised. The enormous amount of preparation he did prior to our departure led to a seamless and trouble-free travel experience and let us live in the moment without concern about connections or finer details.
This was our first visit to Canada and Alaska and his local knowledge gave us a great insight into the culture, and people.
I think we used most forms of transport during the trip; train, bus, plane, ferry, and self-drive which gave us access to places off the beaten track, added excitement to our journey, and enabled us to cover a lot of ground in these huge countries.
The trip was a lot of fun, we loved the huge landscapes, special flora and fauna, bars and restaurants, and meeting the locals.”

"I am delighted to recommend Charlie, who organised a truly outstanding tour of Canada and Alaska for us.
The entire experience was seamless and thoughtfully planned from start to finish. What set this trip apart was the variety and quality of the travel arrangements. We experienced a mix of flights, local ferries, and self-driving, all carefully coordinated in a way that felt both efficient and enjoyable—far from a typical, one-size-fits-all itinerary.
The pacing was excellent; we were able to see and do a great deal without ever feeling rushed. Accommodation was equally impressive, with a well-chosen blend of boutique hotels and Airbnb’s that added both comfort and character to the journey. Every detail was considered.
Charlie’s local knowledge as a Canadian was invaluable. His insight into the best routes, experiences, and logistics ensured we made the most of our time while always feeling safe and well looked after. It was a fantastic trip in every respect, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend Charlie’s services to anyone looking for a unique and expertly curated travel experience’’
