The tour was very long and we saw some beautiful scenery around Banff but there were a few issues. First, we all blame the booking agency in that we were all mislead about scheduling a time for the gondola ride. Every one on the bus was lead to believe that the tour company would make the reservation and we would purchase the ticket when we got there. How are we to know how long the trip takes to get there plus the van was a little late in picking up. Fortunately we were all able to get a reservation after we got there due to the driver’s help. The Hot Springs was disappointing as it looked more like a gigantic hot tub and there was nothing to look at if you didn’t go in it. Our driver was very nice, friendly and helpful but his accent was so thick that it was hard to understand a lot of what he was telling us. This was an English speaking tour but most of us couldn’t understand him.

This trip covers a lot of site seeing around Banff National Park and allows time for lunch in downtown Banff. We got picked up in Canmore which was convenient for us. The tour was 9 hours, which seems like a long time, but since the tour included so many sites, it didn’t feel that long. We started with the Banff Gondola. Our tour guide, Ram was great. He helped us with getting the gondola tickets. You have a little over an hour up top. The scenery was amazing. They had outside observation decks and chairs to relax. You can also hike. Next we soaked in the Banff mineral springs. I highly recommend it. I felt renewed and relaxed after a 10 minute soak. We then went to Bow falls, which was picturesque. Ram was ready to help with pictures. He even did a 360 picture for us. It looks professional. We then got an hour in Banff to shop or eat. We grabbed some lunch. The afternoon included, surprise corner, Johnson Lake, two Jacks lake and Lake Minnewanka. I could be leaving something out. Not sure. We had ice cream from the snack shack at Kake Minnewanka. It was better than Cows in Banff. The price is right. I’d definitely recommend this tour

It was a wonderful experience beyond our imagination as our guide Naveen took us through the mountains to explore various sights. He was very detailed with the stories surrounding the natural marvels and even though he was driving, kept pointing out the lovely creatures we could have missed. He ensured we were comfortable all through the journey. We look forward to another experience as this.

This tour was amazing. We saw, and did, so much in a single day. Our guide was awesome. We had such a great time, largely due to him. At the end of the day we all felt like friends. Honestly, it was the most fun tour, I highly recommend it.

Great experience. Book gondola tickets in advance. Some of our friends were scared but the ride was very smooth. Tour guide Naveen was extremely nice.
