Big shoutout to Murray,... - Big shoutout to Murray, our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. I appreciate the detailed instructions from Kevin on what to bring and wear due to the weather. Town of Banff was beautiful and lots to see (I definitely have to come back) and I got to ride the Gondola. Lake Louise though frozen was a wonder to behold, . It was a smooth ride with great tunes for the road. I will definitely recommend this adventure and worth the price.

Banff day trip - Murray was the best tour driver ever!! I had my walker with me and he as well as one of the other wonderful passengers helped me throughout the entire trip get in and out of the van and put up my walker. On top of that he was funny and full of facts about Banff and the surrounding areas. I will definitely book with this company again when I am back in the area!!

Best way to see all of Banff - I took this tour with my husband and 4 kids (ranging from 7-14 years old) and we had the best day! Murray was an amazing tour guide! We learned so much about the area and took in more beautiful views in one day than most vacations can provide in a week. Each stop was more breathtaking than the last and the view from the walkway at the Banff Gandola left even our chattiest kid speechless! Highly recommend this tour!

Straight outta a movie production. - Breathtaking scenery! Despite the cold weather, we were lucky to have a sunny day, and the Canadian Rocks were as beautiful as we could imagine. Honestly, it's one of the most spectacular places I've ever visited. Everything seemed surreal, straight outta a movie production. Our guide was a whole box of fun, entertainment and knowledge. I'm delighted with how they've conducted the process from beginning to end on 10/10.

Fun and interesting visit to Banff - The trip itself went very well! Gordon picked me up at a hotel down the street from where I was staying, and brought me (and fellow solo travellers) to a few sites, including a frozen lake, Banff (the town), and a mountain to see breathtaking views. The weather was not the best, as it was cold and cloudy, but Gordon's knowledge of the area made it easy to follow along with Alberta's history.

Not much to say. - It was my daughter's birthday overseas, and I only needed something to keep my head busy. I was also excited to see all the tourist places mentioned in the package. I received several notifications about pick-up time being 9:45 sharp, so I was there at 9:30. The driver called me at 9:45 to let me know they would be late, and asked me if I could go wait behind the hotel, which I did. At 10 am, I received another message saying it would be late again. I was waiting 45 minutes in a -2C weather, so I decided to cancel it. The operator told me it was too late to cancel, but I got a partial refund, which I appreciate. I ended up going for some exploring in the area by myself. I hope the rest of the group had a better experience than I did.
