5.00My 11 year old son and I were on a tour today with William as our guide. He was energetic and fun in some frigid temps. He knows a ton about this region, not just how to drive in the snow. We saw amazing sites all day and learned the history of the area. He even gave us hot tea after we finished the bubble lake stop. We give him, individually, and the company collectively a massive high five.

5.00What an amazing experience! Tony was our guide and he was so great!! He got us throughout the park smoothly and kept us on schedule. We got to spend a perfect amount of time at all the spots and he even gave tips for how to capture the best photos. I would highly recommend this package to solo travellers who are looking to explore Banff for the day.
Wonderful
