Great way to experience Banff! - Our tour guide, Sergei, guided us to all of our must-see sites in Banff along with a few others that we thoroughly enjoyed. His knowledge of each site helped us fully appreciate what we were experiencing and his willingness to take our picture at each site was appreciated. The guided tour was a great way to experience Banff. We didn't have to worry about the hassles of driving, parking, or waiting in line for tickets. We were able to see an incredible amount of sites in a single day. We never could have done this on our own. This tour was the highlight of our trip and we were so glad we did it!

Gondola highlights - The Gondola ride was spectacular Our guide Gordon was so good. He made everyone comfortable and welcoming. Gordon gave us so much information, I don’t know how he remembered it all. It was a fantastic trip.

Banff adventures - Nothing, all was great. Maybe to take some snacks as it is a long day... Water was provided. An itinerary at the beginning of the day would be good as well

Beautiful Banff!! - Great experience beginning to end with a full day of stops and experiences to remember about our visit to Alberta. It is a FULL day, so plan accordingly. Sergiy, our tour guide/driver was amazing with drops of information throughout our drive to each location. Accommodating, knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend the day with, Segiy was great. Eye on the weather leading up to your tour and layering of clothes would be advised given the time of year. Highly recommend.

Lots of beautiful sights and a fun day trip. - It is a bit of a long day but very enjoyable. The weather during our visit was unseasonably cold and a bit rainy. It didn't matter, the sights and experience were amazing! Our driver and guide, Sergy, was so friendly, funny, and engaging. He provided a safe comfortable ride on a bad weather day that must have been hard for him. He somehow maintained energy throughout the day and it made for a good experience for our group and the other guests. The only negative was during our pick up. We had to be picked up about an hour early. We were only contacted to inform us of the change about 20 minutes ahead of time. That made for a stressful start. Nontheless it was a wonderful day. Still 5 stars and highly recommend.
