A wonderful tour to remember. - We enjoyed being with a smaller group in the van. Getting around to all the various wonderful sights to see without the hassle of doing it on your own was well worth the cost of being on this tour. Not to mention the value of having a driver/guide with you at each location telling you where the best locations to get great pictures. A

Sky blue glacial lakes - We were able to make the trip in glorious sunshine and were rewarded with magnificent views and a sky blue sky, as well as with sky blue lakes. In July, the high season, however, it was very crowded in the tourist-heavy places, especially at Johnston Canyon it was already difficult to walk the trail normally. From our guide, Sam, we would have liked some more information about the surroundings, the lakes and mountain formations. Otherwise, he was very accommodating and took good care of us. Overall, it was a nice experience, as Banff offers unique landscapes and views.
