Fantastic trip with York. Scenery was amazing. It’s a long day but York stopped at locations in an order that meant no long waits for parking.

Good experience

Kenneth was amazing. He is such a warm soul, very friendly, and kind. He had great spots for photos and even helped take them. He is also a great storyteller. I was very glad to have him as a tour guide. The group split into two for a bit, while some people went to the Columbia ice field, and others went to the Athabasca glacier. I’m not entirely sure which tour we were combined with. It did make it a little tricky for some of the participants. Overall still a good experience.

Icefield Parkway

This trip packs so many incredible viewpoints riding along the Icelands Parkway and planned stops. You could drive yourself but wouldn’t enjoy fully the splendor of the Rockies (or at least not safely). We were interested in seeing more locations rather than spending more hours at the Columbia Icefield Adventure Center. This trip gave us that option and did not disappoint. The falls near Jasper were impressive each in their own way. Our tour guide, Kenneth was a fountain of information and his great personality made a long day very enjoyable. His attention to the group’s interests and needs was appreciated. as was the planning necessary to allow regular breaks and still keep on track.

Fantastic Guide and a Brilliant Experience!

Jesse was a lovely tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a real passion for what he was doing, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He showed us some of the best spots to visit and was always happy to offer to take photos for us. He also took some really creative and different photos, giving us pictures that were a little different from the usual tourist shots. Jesse was very approachable, friendly and accommodating, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble for him. His knowledge and enthusiasm really added to the experience, and we had a fantastic time!

Excellent long day of brilliant lakes, glaciers and waterfalls

Long day but fantastic sites. Jasper is almost better than Banff. Peyto and Bow lakes spectacular. Jesse was excellent especially with the amount of driving. Took photos of us and pointed us in all the right directions and great information given. Turn off the music perhaps in the coach 😂. Was almost a 14 hour day which we were not aware of so be prepared.

A great guide and beautiful views!

We had Boyd as our guide. He did a fantastic job. He explained every place we went and gave us additional information that was very informative. He didn’t just bring us to the turn outs on the round, but showed us views that were really cool. He was patient and caring. He provided not only water but snacks too. Anyone who has Boyd as their guide will be very happy.

Love it!!!! Highly recommend Jesse!!

We had such a wonderful experience with Jesse as our tour guide! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and enthusiastic throughout the entire trip. Even though it was a long day, he made everything feel comfortable and enjoyable, and my family never felt tired or rushed. The whole experience was absolutely worth the money, and Jesse truly helped make the trip special for us. We’re bringing home so many beautiful and unforgettable memories back to Texas. Thank you so much, Jesse, for making our trip such an amazing experience! Highly recommend!

Home Away from Home

It was absolutely a great place to stay. Even though it was a drive from Banff (our main reason for traveling to this area). We loved the peace and quiet and ease of getting to it. It was more than what we expected. Lots of nice conviences and plenty room.
