Not what I expected
The host was friendly and knew the stories well but there wasn’t a lot of interesting history discussed. It seemed he was filling in for someone and found out kind of late. We just expected better stories.

Nothing to say, guide didn’t show up
Guide didn’t show up … we waited for over an hour outside Good Earth but the guide didn’t show up. We went to the operator’s outlet in the shopping mall to find out what was going on, only to be told they’d decided to cancel it at short notice … disappointed they didn’t notify us of this!
Operator response
We’re very sorry you waited outside for over an hour and only learned of the cancellation after visiting our office. After investigating it seems there was an human error when reaching out to you through email. We apologize for that inconvenience. Hope you had a good rest of your time in Banff!

Sooooo Fun!!!
This was so much fun. Our guide Sam was really great. It was a nice mix of history and creepy stories. I learned a lot about the town and it's rise to tourist attraction. Everyone should do this!
