A highly recommended tour

5.00A highly recommended tour of Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls. We had Alyssa as our guide and Andy as the driver, and they were both entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. Alyssa was great at telling us all about the area, and we were very fortunate to spot black bears and other wildlife along the way. We're so glad we did this tour rather than drive ourselves - we booked it just the day before - as we didn't have to worry about parking (at Emerald Lake it would have been impossible) and we learned so much.
Brooke was our tour...

5.00Communication and information was spot on. Brooke picked us up ( and she was early) at the Banff Train station and we had a spectacular day. We found the stories and factual information fascinating and complete. Brooke’s background as a guide and skier added to the enjoyment of the day. We were treated to a very personal experience as the tour was only our group (lucky us!) . Brooke was professional and flexible and a joy to be with!!! Thanks!! Highly recommended tour. We saw ALOT!
Great day with Cam!
