Amazing and highly recommend!!! - It was a fantastic tour bus trip. We had Norm as our guide. His narrative and stories were informative. The boxed lunch was delicious with plenty of food and water for the whole trip. It was a long day but well worth the experience.

So much beauty to see! - Dave was a great guide. He looked out for us, gave us lots of interesting information and despite us not being enthusiastic to go, took us to the Athabasca Waterfall, which was spectacular.

Tour Guide Elevates Experience - I wish I asked our driver/tour guide the right spelling of his name, whether it’s Sean or Shaun, so I can give him his flowers. For this review, I will call him Sean, as he repeated his name multiple times during the trip. As he would say, ‘Hello, I am Sean, and I am accountable!’ 😀 Sean elevated this experience for us with his kindness, knowledge and overall enthusiasm. He was not just shuttling us from Banff to Jasper but he was sharing all these stories and information, showing such passion about Jasper and the Rockies. When we were the last persons to get to the bus and he had to come and look for us, he was so kind in how he treated us, saying, we shouldn’t be stressed. It was just that compassion that set him apart. He kept saying how the trip should be stress-free and he delivered. The trip was just awesome because the Canadian Rockies and its lakes are just picturesque. Peyto lake and its turquoise waters was beautiful despite having so many people, and we stopped by so many spots for pictures. For the Glacier adventure, I recommend everyone to use water-proof boots as our sneakers just submerged our feet in cold water when we were walking on the glacier. The overall experience, with all the stops, the excellent, filling lunch (humongous sandwiches!) and our outstanding tour guide/driver Sean made that day shuttling from Banff to Jasper truly memorable! I liked our guide so much I asked for a picture! The price is a bit steep but with the Glacier adventure and stops we made, it was worth it! On SunDog tours, I went directly to their website to reserve a tour, and as an advice if you need to contact them, do contact [email protected] instead of using their chatbot because they respond there faster.

Great tour made better because of Dave, driver/guide - Definitely Dave, our driver, is the reason for 5 stars. Yes it was a good trip antsy but his sarcastic, witty humour just made us smile all day. He is very passionate about Jasper and he shared a lot of knowledge. I spotted a black beast and Dave spotted and reversed, so we watched him for a few minutes. The trip was very well organised. Timed to perfection. Included a tasty lunch. Deserves 5 star review

Excellent transfer tour to Jasper feom Banff - This tour was booked as part of our Canadian trip, via Hayes travel agents, we were picked up from the hotel in Banff, by David our tour guide and driver. Once everyone was on board the coach we quickly settled down for the journey to Jasper, and the tour commenced Dave was full of in formation on various aspects of the land scape we were seeing talking about the wild life we may see one our journey. We were very lucky to see a Black Bear by the side of the highway and Dave stopped and reversed the bus so we had the opportunity to grad a few photos before the bear went into the forest. The walk on the Glacier and the sky walk were good fun and again the drivers of the all terrain vehicles were again very knowledgeable about the glacier. The lunch that was provided was very good and plenty to eat, I had the chicken wrap which was really full of chicken and filling my wife had the beef sandwich which she said was very good. On the whole a great experience and a great way to travel between Banff and Jasper

Highlight of the Vacation - This tour was the highlight of our trip! It was so nice to not have to worry about driving and reservation times while on the Icefields Parkway. Our tour guide Shawn was amazing - he made additional sightseeing stops for us beyond what was on the itinerary and provided so much information about the area. This is a long ride on a bus without a bathroom, and he prioritized bathroom stops for us. The SunDog buses are great, big windows on the sides and an additional large window in the front for sightseeing.
