5.00The tour was excellent and covered most of the famous attractions in Banff. The driver drove steadily and was very friendly and talkative. Although we only saw an elk along the way, I think it was due to the weather and the wildfires. Other than that, the experience was wonderful. The vehicle was spacious, and they even provided water and chocolate. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want to explore around Banff and look for wildlife.
It was a nice tour...

3.00It was a nice tour overall. Not quite what we were hoping for. It was supposed to be three hours and but was only 2.5 hours. It did not go to every location noted in description. We did see mountain goats and elk. Price was reasonable.
