Worth it.

5.00It's not cheap, but it's worth it. The trip is laid out well, and it gives you a good feel and lay of the land in Banff. The Gondola was great- even though I don't like heights. The view was quite something. The boat tour was informative and interesting. Our guide Kirsty was fantastic! As we're our two guides on the bus- Dustin and Andrew. Lunch was pleasant. Good variety for the small buffet. It would be nice to have "real" baked good for dessert though. Not mass produced ones.
The tour pretty much...

3.00It’s a long day and the boat ride just wasn’t needed really. There was a fair amount of padding to make it a full day tour
Frighteningly invigorating and stunning
