Very nice tour. Easy departure location. Our guide was very informative and efficient. He was great with our toddler.
Our tour guide was informative and helped with taking photos of us. He showed us where to go and provided us with shoe grippers for a trail in the snow. Life saving! He made the trip awesome.
Excellent guide Frank took us to the important not to be missed sights around Banff. An excellent tour which ran to time as well.
Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, which made the entire experience easy, enjoyable, and memorable. Everything was well explained, and we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. Highly recommended!

Breathtaking landscapes! Our guide was excellent and friendly. He even shared photos and videos of our day. I appreciated the fact that spikes are included in this activity.
I enjoyed the day and the sights I saw. I appreciated hopping the bus and avoiding the parking and shuttle transfers at the different locations. We were able to get right to the door! The biggest disappointment was the transfer time home due to bumper to bumper traffic. Not the responsibility of the tour group, but that made for a longer day. Tour guide was friendly. He could have been more informative about the history of the sights we saw but he did well. All in all, I've booked another tour to another location.

We're sorry the return traffic made the day feel longer—it’s something we’re always working to minimize when possible. We also appreciate your note about the commentary and will continue improving in that area. Thank you again for booking another tour with us—we look forward to providing you with an even better experience next time!

Our guide is Tommy. He did a great job. Everything was on time. Taking us nice pictures, telling us a geography &history, giving us water bottle. The lake is beautiful. We got around an hour to each place, only 1 or 2 that got 15 min and 30 min. Actually I bought a different tour but turn out not enough people for the group so I joined this ine instead. So far I enjoy everything. But there is no charger between the seat though.
