Great guide/bus driver....

Great guide/bus driver. Awesome stops with plenty of time allowed. Only complaint is the AC on the bus was not working properly so back of the bus was hot. Out driver tried to fix with new fuse but did not help.

We saw a LOT of Banff in...

We saw a LOT of Banff in just one day. It was really nice to not have to drive and deal with parking at each location. Our guide, Ben, was really knowledgeable about Banff and its history. The lakes are breathtaking and we really enjoyed the view from the top of Sulphur Mountain.

No need to bother with shuttles etc

Ron and Cyrus were great tour guides, it was lovely to sit back and be driven everywhere with commentary and suggestions. There was some unexpected road conditions on the way that slowed us down but they were great at being nimble and fixing up the itinerary on the fly to make sure we could see everything. Highly recommend for a touch of everything!

We could not understand our tour guide. He did not the history of the area or country. Stops were commercial he did not share a lot of information. More about spots to take pictures.

You don’t have as much...

You don’t have as much time at the sights as is suggested - 40 minutes not 90 minutes so each sight is a bit rushed. But these are amazing places to visit and wonderful views
