Best way to travel from Banff to Jasper - A great day seeing beautiful lakes, waterfalls & walking on the glacier at Columbia Icefields. Our driver Dave was witty & very entertaining. We were also able to see wildlife as we entered Jasper National Park. The weather was also perfect for the trip. Excellent way to transfer from Banff to Jasper!

This was one of the best... - This was one of the best tours we have ever done. Our driver/tour guide, Chuck, was the best I have come across & his information was exceptional. Thankyou for appointing him our driver/guide. I would recommend Sundog tours to everyone.

Wonderful pairing to enhance our trip - Our driver was Andy and the host was Mike. Both were excellent. We were lucky to have had Andy as our driver and host from Lake Louise to Banff ad then again from Banff to Jasper. He is the ultimate driver as he manages to stop at extra places but never rushes us. We had several passengers who had mobility issues and he was courteous and helpful. Mike was on hand to provide extra coverage and helpful hints not to mention taking photos for us at various stops. They both really added to the beauty of the trip and we all felt very lucky to have had then on our bus.

Brewster Coach transfer with stops - Professional, courteous, amazing scenery. - We took Brewster Coach tour company and our excellent driver was called Mike who was professional, friendly and courteous. He gave a very knowledgeable and impressive commentary the whole way covering ecology, flora, fauna, history, geology, geograpy, all delivered in a gentle manner and easy-to-listen-to tone. If wildlife was spotted he would stop and wait, or even back up if required, so we had a chance to wait and see, for example, the black bears in the forest. The scenery was amazing and there were frequent stops including Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Icefields Parkway with Skywalk and glacier walk, Athabasca falls. Bow Lake was my favourite. I'd thoroughly recommend Brewster for any of your coach touring.

Fab trip - I was collected on time and made to feel very welcome by Michelle, then at lake Louise Tom took over, both guides were awesome and made the journey very enjoyable without detracting from the main event of the awe inspiring scenery all around.

Wear shoes appropriate to walking on ice and show if you take this trip. - Our travel agent had booked this tour as a way to see this scenic drive that is a classic view of Columbia Ice Fields and a great way to get from Banff to Jasper where we were taking a Via Rail trip from Jasper to Toronto on the next leg of our Canadian trip. The pickup at our RimRock hotel In a very nice bus with an experienced driver named Brad and tour leader Emer was on-time. The description of the trip and stops both from our AAA Travel Agent and from the website of Brewsters Tours were pretty incomplete in hind-sight…but we didn’t now that at the time. Our group of 20 were all about the same age group from 60 to 80 and they were very prompt getting on and off the bus at our several stops at some beautiful sites along the Canadian Rockies. The stops were sufficient with comfort stops enough. We were NOT made aware that lunch was included but we had a good “Hot Buffet” lunch at the Ice-fields information center opposite the largest of the glaciers we viewed. Then we were taken out onto the glacier …which also was not expected but a real bonus. THE PROBLEM was that no-one was prepared for this with proper shoes! Most everyone had on sandals or tennis shoes and you were walking on pure slush ice trying to keep from falling down. We had the right shoes… but they were in our suitcases under the bus and we’d have had them on if we had known what to expect.
