The tour will start in Regina & conclude in Saskatoon.
For those flying internationally, it is suggested that you fly into Regina International Airport (YQR). Be sure to use the Air Canada discount code for reduced fare (find above).
July 1st is Canada Day, a National holiday, and as of June 28th, the Saskatchewan schools start their summer breaks, so we expect the airports and car rentals to be busy that weekend. We recommend you schedule to land in Regina by the 29th at the latest.
