EXCEPTIONAL - Great scenery! Great stops! SEAN does an amazing job of sharing his knowledge, love and enthusiasm of the Columbia Icefield Parkway, Waterfalls, Glaciers, Animals, Geology and History of the region. Definitely worth the money. It’s a long 12 hour day, but it was time well spent.

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!

Good tri after a shaky start - The bus was quite late arriving due to multiple pick ups. Initially the driver was going to cut out Lake Louise which was a must see. After protest this was rectified, but more time there, and a shorter lunch break would have been better.

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.
