Bryce was our private tour guide. He was amazing! Knowledgeable about the area and made sure we had an enjoyable day! - Bryce was an incredible host! Highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn more about the history of the area. He clearly has a passion for what he does and we never felt like his remarks were scripted.

Breath taking but short - All of the places are stunning and beautiful but the itinerary was not followed due to the tour being late from the morning and the rest of the tours were deducted time. Lunch was supposed to be 1.5 hrs but reduced to 1hr and the rest of the tours were deducted 5 mins each so we only stayed 10 mins per lake which is very very short

Sunday was a good day ! - Ahmed was an excellent tour guide . He was courteous, informative and enthusiastic. He kept us entertained for the entire trip. Amazing photographer ! The views were breathtaking . The Johnston canyon had amazing waterfalls and waterways. Marble canyons scenery and water gave us a great experience . We captured beautiful photos here with Ahmed’s help. 2 jack lake was lively and was one of our favorite stops . We will definitely be returning and hope to see our tour guide again. Thank you for the great day …….. a note to the tour company . Please schedule your timings based on the season and population of tourism . Schedule at Johnston canyon was tight and we would have like to stay longer . We had a small group so our tour guide was able to make up for lost time and was very efficient . Larger groups may have a harder time here .

Good - This tour is very thorough and takes you to a lot of places in Banff if it is your first time. The tour guide was very professional, knowledgeable and polite. I was able to take great pictures while both in the tour vehicle and at the destinations.
What I thought could be improved was I was told the pickup spot would be outside a specific hotel and when I went there nobody was waiting there because they had already picked up other people from somewhere else. If pick up at your hotel was an option I should have been told that clearly. The Johnston Canyon section of the tour was cut short and required more time allocated to it to explore the cave considering the long line-up there.
