Great Tour - We had a great time on this tour! Even in the winter, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Johnston Canyon, Banff, and Lake Louise were absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide Mohit was very kind and knowledgeable, and everything was well organized. Highly recommend!

Amazing day trip! - Amazing trip! I only had 1 day to see as much as I could and this tour was perfect! I got to see so much in 1 day. Harry was great! He was very knowledgeable of the area and its history. Didn’t feel rushed at all. All admissions were included in the tour and parking was always near by the attractions. There wasn’t a lot of walking required for the tour except for Johnston Canyon. It’s a 1/2 mile hike to the lower falls. The upper falls was not open in the winter. Ice cleats were provided which made foot traction much better. Also Moraine Lake is not open in the winter was I was aware before I booked the tour Harry offered to take pictures of everyone throughout the day and kept us on time. There were lots of opportunities for washroom breaks and we stopped for lunch at 1pm at the Lake Louise restaurant area (Samson Mall) which had several options to eat. The timing of the whole tour was perfect. The van held 14 passengers and was very comfortable. Harry provided small towels to wipe the windows if they became foggy, (which didn’t happen very often). I was a solo traveller and felt very comfortable and there were several other solo travellers on the trip as well as a few couples. I was picked up on time in Calgary at 8am and dropped off again at 7pm. Well worth the money! I’m so happy I went!

A great trip. - Very good driver, very knowledgeable about his tour areas and went out of his way to provide the best possible experience for his passengers. I would hire him for my business if he would move east.

Snow Day Tour - Beautiful tour! The day passed very quickly but we could see the most interesting places. We modified the tour a little bit for the weather conditions. We missed a little more time to be able to tour the village of Banff as we could not stop there, we probably delayed during the road trip because of the weather conditions (it was snowing), which is understandable at this time. The driver was very friendly and attentive throughout.
