5.00I'll start by saying that this tour is a long day. However, it's so long because you get to see so much and there are some incredible experiences built in to the tour. On top of the great views and experiences, you might get lucky and get Kenneth as your tour guide. He was the best. Very funny, energetic, and insightful. When it comes to tour guides, he was easily the best we've ever had. He took pictures, provided snacks and water, consistent bathroom breaks and always made sure that we had enough time to fully experience each stop. The only downside to this tour is that you have to bring your own lunch, but that's mostly because there's no where to stop along the way that has food. Also, I would much rather picnic next to a waterfall than spend an hour in a restaurant waiting for food. The views on this tour are incredible and unless you're willing to do a lot of research and a lot of driving, you likely won't be able to see this much in a day. It's well worth the money. I couldn't recommend this tour enough. The only tour that might be better is the option that includes walking on the glacier, but I would rather fit in a couple waterfalls or lakes than spend time walking on slush.
Very prepared tour guide, Patrick!

5.00Our tour guide was Patrick, he was amazing! He was so prepared, had walking sticks, umbrellas, snacks, candy and water for people. As the day started with nice fall, turned to rain, then ended in a winter wonderland he had whatever you needed. He even took wonderful picture of my husband and I basically at every stop, multiple images even. Was able to tell, and show us all the best spots for images. Highly recommend!
Lam is a very good tour...

5.00Lam is a very good tour guide (best in all our Banff tours), patient and friendly, he really cares about us and will adjust the itinerary accordingly to weather, prepare walking sticks, drop us off for souvenirs etc. He also hiked with us and eagerly took very good photos for us! A good tour experience to see so many beautiful scenery in Jasper within one day!

5.00We went to some truely amazing places along the Ice Fields Parkway. Our driver, Kenneth did a great job, telling us about all the places we went and providing background information, taking photos, etc. We went on tour in October and it was starting to get very cold, especially when we were near the Ice Fields. Be sure to dress warm. Also, you need to bring a lunch as we picnicked ar one of our stops.
It is a long day with no...

5.00It is a long day with no stop at restaurant for lunch (take a packed lunch) but it is absolutely worth it. Wing and Lam were wonderful and fun and the stops were all awesome. This was my fourth tour in the Rockies and it was great to go further and see some different wonders of nature.
