GyPSy Guide is the perfect tour guide for your driving holiday in western Canada. You can install it into any vehicle by simply attaching it to the windshield and then just start driving. It is easy to use, very entertaining and since it always knows where you are, you can just relax and enjoy the commentary as it automatically plays at just the right time.

Just because you want to drive yourself on vacation through the Canadian Rockies and around British Columbia, it doesn't mean that you miss out on learning about what you are seeing and be able to enjoy it even more. If bus tours don't suit you and you like doing the driving, then renting a GyPSy Guide is the answer.

GyPSy Guide allows you to travel at your own pace, visit the places you want to see. The tour commentary has been built by a team of accredited, professional tour guides so you will learn much more than a single tour guide would be able to share with you. Think of it as a local friend, who will share interesting stories and entertain you along the way.

GyPSy Guide has an extensive range of popular, self-drive touring routes across British Columbia and Alberta, including the Rocky Mountains, Banff, Calgary, Vancouver, Victoria, and the routes connecting them.
