Great Experience. Would recommend 10/10 - This is an amazing tour. Sergei was our guide who picked us up right on ti e at our hotel in Calgary and provided endless facts throughout the tour. There's no way we would've been able to do all these things on our own in one day with parking restrictions and crowds so the tour was very much worth it. His knowledge of the parks, the history and the areas we visited was so appreciated as it added to our appreciation of the sites. I would do this tour again if I ever visit these areas as it's well organized and managed.

Worthwhile tour - The trip was well organized. We went to the gondola first , followed by downtown Banff, and the lakes. There was adequate time for all stops.

Memorable moments in banff - Patrick was a great tour guide. Told stories about the origins of everything. He got out at each stop and took us to the best photo places and even took insta quality photos for us. Would highly recommend.

Must book now! - 1000% recommend this tour! Dan picked us up straight from our hotel lobby and ran the itinerary to make sure we stayed out of the rain as much as possible and maximized our time at each of the tour stops. This tour was the highlight of our trip!

Banff Trip - The trip was good. Allowed us to see the beautiful sites stress free by travelling in van. The views were breathtaking. Where the excursion fell short was the guide. He did not explain fully what to expect. Often voice low so could not hear at back of bus. Sometimes forgot what he was going to tell us about the site. Should be able to provide options to eat in Banff given we had shirt time there. If he was more engaging and spoke more it would have made the experience fun and get the group together. While we did enjoy the trip the guide could have been better!
