5.00Taylor was awesome and amazing! Her knowledge of and enthusiasm for the local geography, history, and current culture really brought the area to life. Riding around in the beautiful vintage vehicle was very comfortable and added to the fun. The buffet dinner was excellent and much more than we were expecting. Overall, a wonderful experience.
Banff Nightrise ultra-disappointing

1.00First of all a huge disappointment: instead of sound and light we come across some colorful neon lights that fight in a duel between two projections of snow all wrapped in Indian songs spat out by speakers. We are far from the sounds and lights as we can see them today. Especially as the place has great potentialwhich is not being exploited. Then the harassment. Over $200 for 4, with no service other than climbing into the dark borders on tourist scam. Avoid it.
Great tour and dinner

5.00JJ and Flora were fantastic tour guides! This is a must-do when visiting Banff. The scenery was stunning and the gondola to the top of Sulphur Mountain at night was spectacular. Dinner was quite good...lots of options at the buffet. Perfect for families and groups.

5.00Jodie and Andre made our day tour so perfect. They told us all about the history and made it a very memorable day. Our gondola timing was perfect to avoid the busier times and lunch was very good. They had it so well planned and we did so much. The hot chocolate and cookies after our lake boat trip was a lovely touch to end the perfect day.
Great trip

5.00Carson and Ellie, our guides, were wonderful! They had so much local information to share with us about history, geology, restaurants, and more. The tour had multiple stops- photography at Two Jacks lake, snowshoeing at Lake Minawanka, touring Cave and Basin National Historic Landmark, photography at Bow Falls, and a gondola ride up to the top of Sulphur Mountain to take in the expansive views of the valley. Along the way they also shared local snacks with us after snowshoeing and at the top of Sulphur Mountain. It was a great way to see Banff on a tight schedule in the wintertime without the hassles of planning the day and driving yourself around. Next time we return (hopefully in the summer) we'll book another tour with Brewster Sightseeing. Thank you so much!!!

5.00Booked this tour through Get Your Guide. Fully worth the money. So much to see but you don't feel rushed. Still plenty of time to take pictures. Jon B and Taya were friendly and knowledgeable guides. This tour fully exceeded my expectations!
