This tour moved so smoothly from one spectacular site, to the next. Our tour guide Kamal was a lovely gentleman and took great care of us on the trip. It’s a long day, and very worthwhile.
We drive by Castle Mountain and it is massive. Next we visited Crowfoot Glacier. The smoke from fires made the view very hazy. Then we went to Bow Lake and walked around and enjoyed the view, the sky was still hazy. Then saw Peyto Lake. It was a small hike to the lake with very scenic views. Sky was still hazy. The. We went to the Columbia Ice Fields. We had lunch at the visitor center. Unfortunately the tours at the Ice Field were closed because of the poor air quality because of the smoke caused nearby fires. Since the air quality was poor we didn’t do the Ice Field Parkway drive. We also did not do Lake Louise because of the limited visibility. What we did see was beautiful but would have been more majestic with clear skies. I would do this tour again on a clear day.
Great tour with scenic drive and many beautiful spots to explore. Anna was a terrific guide with excellent driving skills!
Our guide, Anastasiia, was very kind and helpful. She introduced each destination in detail and kept the trip running smoothly and on schedule.
Anna is a great guide. She provided lots of interesting information, made lots of of complementary stops . This tour was our main highlight of banff visit. We highly recommend
My teens and i had a great time with our group and Kamal, our your guide!!! Breathtaking scenery, and we were so lucky to have 5 bear sightings as well as sheep and mountain goats. What an amazing day! Kamal was attentive to helping our group, made sure all could have a great experience, and i appreciated the details shared during the tour.
