Gondola Was Incredible - What an incredible experience with Banff Trip Planner Inc.! I booked the Banff Gondola, Upper Hot Springs & Top 3 Lakes Tour from Calgary, and it was the perfect way to see the best of the Rockies in one day. From the moment we booked, everything was seamless and easy.

Love this tour - Jass was a fantastic guide. The itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to visit a wide range of places in a short time. He was always on time, which helped everything run smoothly. He ensured our comfort throughout the trip by providing water, umbrellas, and sharing interesting insights at each stop. Jass 's cheerful and engaging personality made the experience even more enjoyable. The only drawback was that, because we covered so many places, we sometimes felt there wasn’t quite enough time to fully explore each one. Nevertheless, it was a memorable and well-organized tour. Highly recommended!

Tour Jam packed - Our tour guide was awesome. I had mobility issues and he was very accomadating. He took pictures of my husband and me. He provided water throughout day. We had thought we were supposed to be picked up at 7:30 but it was 9. so check on pick up time even if it printed on your ticket. We did way more then what was listed. Tour great.

Fun trip--for the hot... - Fun trip with many stops--for the hot springs, its probably easiest to rent towels and even bathing suit for only 2.50 CAD. The lakes are quite nice (but nothing compares to Lake Louise & Morraine Lake).
