The guide, Cum, was awful. He was rude and disrespectful and had little idea of what he was doing. He also arrived 45 minutes late for pick up
Beautiful Spots But Nearly 14 Hours

There’s a lot to like about this tour. Our guide was charismatic, took fantastic photos, and knew all the best spots at each location. The scenery was stunning, and the price was fair. That said, a few tweaks could make this experience even better. 1. Timing: The tour ran nearly 14 hours (7:30 AM–9:15 PM), significantly longer than the advertised 10 hours. I had to bail on dinner plans with my friends. This wasn’t due to delays but an overstuffed itinerary. So maybe focus on the highlights (hot springs, gondola) and skip less impactful stops like the "secret lookout" or one of the lakes. Also, maybe streamline lunch. You could partner with a restaurant for a pre-set menu or advise guests to pick a spot in advance on the way. In the town of Banff its choice overload with the restaurants. 2. Logistics: A logo or distinct marker (e.g., a blue stripe) on the van would help—meeting among rows of white vans was tricky. Or consider a meet up spot that’s less crowded with tour vans and airline shuttles. This could also help with regrouping at the tour locations. This company has huge potential. The guide’s enthusiasm and eye for photo ops are standout strengths. With a tighter schedule and clearer logistics, this could easily be a 5-star experience. Rooting for you!
