I was wondering if it would be possible to roughly put prices for extra trips so that we can plan how much to put to one side to pay for them. For instance I am going to Canada in June and definately want to go on the helicopter trip over the Rockies but I know its expensive, its the number one choice for me. I want to do a couple of other ones as well but have no idea as to the cost as we cannot book and pay in advance unfortunately. I know you cannot quote a definate amount but an idea would be helpful.

Thanks for a great column

I have been pressing for a while now for us to get excursion information onto the website, it is a work in progress. But until we get there, please find the excursion information for Canada:

Toronto - CN Tower

Enjoy a visit to the CN Tower which stands at 1815 ft and allows you to see up to 160 km on a clear day. The thrill begins with a 58-second trip to the top in one of the 6 glass-faced elevators. Whilst visiting the 2 observation levels you can enjoy panoramic views of Toronto and beyond from the indoor & outdoor observatories. For those of you with nerves of steel, stand on the world famous glass floor - reinforced of course - and dare to look down 342m!!
