Banff Upper Hot Springs est une source chaude naturelle populaire située près de la ville de Banff, offrant des eaux chaudes et riches en minéraux avec une vue imprenable sur les montagnes. Il est parfait pour se détendre après les activités de plein air. L'installation comprend des vestiaires, des douches et la location de maillots de bain et de serviettes.
Bow Falls est une magnifique et large chute d'eau située à seulement 1 km du centre-ville de Banff, sur la rivière Bow. Il est facile d'y accéder à pied, en voiture ou en transport en commun. Les visiteurs apprécient les vues panoramiques, la photographie et les sentiers pédestres à proximité. Les chutes sont particulièrement impressionnantes pendant le ruissellement printanier et offrent un environnement paisible toute l'année.
Nous avons eu une belle pause déjeuner sur l'avenue Banff, avec beaucoup de temps pour faire du shopping et prendre quelques souvenirs. C'était une merveilleuse façon de découvrir le charme de la ville.
Le lac Minnewanka est un magnifique lac glaciaire situé à seulement 10 km de Banff, dans le parc national Banff. Il offre des activités comme la navigation de plaisance (bateaux motorisés autorisés), la randonnée de sentiers panoramiques, le pique-nique, et en hiver, le patin à glace et la raquette. Le lac a une histoire riche, y compris un ancien établissement submergé et des développements hydroélectriques. Les visiteurs bénéficient d'une vue imprenable sur les montagnes, d'un accès facile aux sentiers et aux lieux de pique-nique. Le stationnement peut se remplir rapidement en été, alors prévoyez en conséquence.
Le lac Two Jack, à seulement 10 km de Banff, est un lac de montagne paisible connu pour sa vue magnifique sur le mont Rundle. Il est idéal pour les randonnées faciles, le kayak, la natation et les pique-niques.

We loved all lakes. Most important were views from Gandola. Our guide Arun was great. He kept connected with each person in our group. Will recommend to do this trip with guide Arun
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved all the lakes and especially enjoyed the beautiful views from the gondola. We’re also happy to know that Arun made your experience special by staying connected with everyone in the group and making sure everyone was taken care of. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future!
Too many similar lakes and there were no hot springs experiences, just a large pool. The gondola ride was beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed the Banff Gondola and its beautiful views. We're sorry some parts of the experience didn't meet your expectations. The Banff Upper Hot Springs is a public facility and is a developed outdoor hot pool rather than a natural spring. Regarding the lakes, our itinerary includes some of the Canadian Rockies' most iconic lakes, each with its own unique scenery and character. We delivered the tour as advertised and completed all scheduled stops. We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again on another tour in the future.
On a recent vacation to Calgary we took the Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes Tour. From beginning to end, we had a very enjoyable day. The pick-up location was easy to find and very walkable from our downtown hotel. Our guide, Naveen, did an excellent job. He was cordial and professional, a perfect combination. Our favorite parts of the tour were Bow Falls, Lake Louise, and the Banff Gondola. If you take this tour and you happen to love mint chocolate chip ice cream, you're in luck! It was available at the snack stand at Lake Minnewanka and was delicious!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the day and found the pickup location convenient. It's great to know Naveen's friendly professionalism added to your experience. Thanks for sharing the tip about the mint chocolate chip ice cream at Lake Minnewanka. I'm sure others will love it too. Thank you for choosing Matrix Tours & Travel Ltd. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable adventure

Navdeep is an excellent guide throughout the whole tour. The tour we booked was misleading. Watch the fine print as we thought the excursions were paid for when we booked our tour.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the booking details.

Thank you again for choosing us and for recognizing Navdeep’s great service. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in the Canadian Rockies!
Our guide was Navdeep, he was great, he was very accommodating to the schedules, because of ticket mess ups. The tickets are not included which makes it hard to know what times to book them. There were too many stops which made a long day.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience with Navdeep. It's wonderful to know that his flexibility, patience, and accommodating nature helped make your tour enjoyable, especially when dealing with unexpected ticket issues. We'll be sure to share your appreciation with him. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure in the Canadian Rockies!

We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure!
I think this would have been really good if we had had a different guide. Mandeep was a very good driver, but he was a lousy guide, which was so disappointing. At the pickup point there are many tour buses picking up tourists for various excursions, so it is helpful when, at the assigned time, the driver/guide shouts out the name of the tour and which bus to board. He did not do that, creating confusion, especially since we didn’t leave on time. Once on the bus, he never once stood up or had a mic to go over details and instructions. He seemed more interested in answering personal questions while standing outside the bus. Be advised that when you get to the gondola ticket desk, they will have no record of your Viator ticket, nor do they need it because you are purchasing your own gondola ticket. I didn’t know that. Mandeep wasn’t very helpful once I purchased my ticket. He merely pointed in the direction of the gondola entry point, and I ended up in a line of people who were purchasing other day trip options. This wasted time, which was a problem because each gondola ticket is given a boarding time. After the gondola ride we were to meet Mandeep at a certain place, and then discovered that the next stop was at the mineral spa at the far end of the parking area. I didn’t care to go to the spa, and there was nothing to do while waiting the hour for the others, and I realized that I could have spent more time at the top of the mountain instead of sitting around the parking lot. Of course, this wasn’t an option or made clear at all. In truth, I thought having a s one hour stop at a spa was kind of ridiculous because it’s not really enough time to enjoy the experience. Our next stop was the Bow Falls view point where, again, no announcement was made other than having the bus door opened and Mandeep saying “ten minutes”. I was at the bus with some others in our group about 20 minutes later because Mandeep wasn’t at the bus, he was busy talking to two people across the way. As we left the parking area, one woman from our group came running up to the bus waving her arms because we were leaving without her. Never once did our guide look like he was counting the number of people in our group and keeping track of our numbers. When we finally got to downtown Banff for free time for lunch, I decided to leave the tour because I was tired of being let out into big crowds of people without adequate explanations or instructions. I have to say that Mandeep was a good driver, but the worst guide I’ve ever had. I felt carelessly treated.
