Great private tour - Joe was the best!

5.00Joe, our driver, was very communicative prior to our tour. Promptly picked us for our 11 hour day and had the entire day planned! Saw so many sights on the way to the Icefields - Peyto Lake, Bow Lake, Crowfoot Glacier and Waterfowl Lakes viewpoint and Mistaya Canyon. Asked if we wanted to stop for photos and was our own private photographer. He wakes us through the Icefield Center and was there waiting for us after our tour was over. He had waters and even power cord to charger our phones. Great memories and photos!

5.00Perfect tour for our family of 6. Joe was so informative, flexible and kind! Pointed out all the highlights along the Parkway, stopping at strategic spots and allowing us hikes and photos! Worked perfectly around our glacier excursion to meet us in a timely fashion. Can’t recommend Joe highly enough. We even saw his predicted bear sighting!
Excellent

5.00The many stops on this full day tour were an enriching experience. We would have never known they existed and should be visited. The tour operator went above and beyond to make sure our day included what was important to us.
