5.00I joined the Banff and Yoho National Park tour as a solo traveler, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. All the other travelers were so friendly and made the trip even more enjoyable. Andy was beyond amazing — very professional, knowledgeable, kind, and helpful throughout the day. He showed us 13 beautiful places, which was way more than I was expecting. Every stop was breathtaking, and the whole trip was perfectly organized. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies
The Most Unforgettable & Magical Day

5.00This was my solo birthday trip and this tour is one I will never forget, the absolute highlight of my birthday and the best tour I’ve never experienced. Firstly, I was so fortunate to be the only person on the tour making my experience extra personal. I was picked up at my place of stay which I was so grateful for. Andy was so knowledgeable and pleasant. He took all my amazing videos and photos. I experienced rain, sunshine, icy pathways, snow, crystal clear lakes, saw 3 black beats, deers and elk. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend doing this tour. You will have the most cherished experience and one of your greatest trips ever. Out was a magical day and easy stop just keep getting better than the last. My ultimate highlight was Peyto lake (which was covered in ice) but the experience to get to the lookout is what made it special at it was snowing while we hiked up with the beautiful evergreen trees. It felt like winter wonderland. Emerald lake was also a fave as well as some viewpoints where we saw the train passing. Thank you to Andy for making this experience one that I will never forget! I am beyond grateful for everything, the good convos and our music session during the long drives.
