Ashish, you are the man! Thank you for a great experience at Banff and Jasper National Parks. - Had a wonderful Calgary–Banff - Jasper day tour. Our guide Ashish was professional and very patient, took us to tons of beautiful spots, and even helped everyone get great photos—he knew the best viewpoints. He would make sure that everyone got the best photo and would even take us to the best spots for those photos. Stopped at many stops and they were all beautiful. Highly recommend. We did two tours with him and felt comfortable the whole time. Thank you so much Ashish.

Great experience at Columbia icefield - Very nice day but long The landscapes are beautiful, the experience on the glacier is quite maus the walking field is restricted with far too many people. So it takes away the charm. Skywalking is amazing , walking on a glass floor in a vacuum is impressive. Bow and Peyto lakes are beautiful Guide Emma was attentive, kind and had good reviews

Great way to experience The Rockies - This experience far exceeded our expectations. Sanjeet was our guide & we were fortunate enough to have him to ourselves. He stopped at many lakes & glaciers for photo opportunities & even stopped so we could photograph wildlife (deer) on the side of the road.We had a late booking at the Columbia Icefield & so got back to our hotel very late in the evening, but he was still happy to stop off at places of interest on the way back. He also provided us with interesting information throughout the tour. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour- it is a great way to experience the beauty of the Rockies in a day.

Worst tour ever and not as described - Booked English only tour. Tour guide spoke only Chinese the whole day with no translation in English at all. Dangerous driving taking hands off wheel on turns and wet roads. Eating and drinking while driving. Mo water provided on tour all day as was told would be because tour guide said his boss forgot to give water for bus. Dirty cracked windshield in two places obstructing view. Filthy bus with used garbage from prior use. Worst tour ever and I've been on hundreds.
