I loved everything about this trip! Our tour guide Jacky and bus driver Keith were exceptional - so nice and funny! Yes, it is difficult to spend so much time sitting in a bus during 4 days, but there were a lot of stops and the views were always incredible! Hotel choices were also very nice, especially in Banff, where they have a sauna and a hot pool. It was really great to relax there after long days. The nature of British Columbia and Alberta is just spectacular! It is really a must visit place! I highly recommend this trip!

This was a great short tour that hit all the highlights between Vancouver and Banff where we departed the tour as we were heading to Calgary. There was a transfer option available that we didn’t realise at the time we booked but catching a regular bus from Banff to Calgary wasn’t a big deal. Jeff our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. He was able to answer even some of the more obscure questions and was able to fill in some of the local ‘colour’ of the places we visited with a story or two. Our bus driver Kevin was a Banff local and was able to offer up some great local knowledge as well and was always on hand when we were getting in and out of the coach and obliging when we needed something from our luggage that was in the hold. Timing wise things worked pretty well for what is was. Be warned though that the first day from Vancouver to Jasper is a big day punching out about 800km. Some of the stops were pretty brief and really just a photo opportunity but I wasn’t planing on climbing Mount Robson anyway! The accommodation for the three nights (1x Jasper and 2x Banff) was lovely, particularly in Banff and going in the height of summer meant there was plenty of daylight to explore Banff itself. There are other tours that take a week to do what we did but we had limited time and this was a great find. It was an enjoyable trip and a pleasure to be able to support a locally owned family business.

Our driver, Nathan kept us safely on the road while our guide, Brad kept us informed and entertained while we found waterfalls, mountain views, and turquoise lake vistas. Brad and Nathan appear to be old friends and their comedic banter was charming. The chosen hotels were perfect and other recommendations were very helpful. It's a long drive out to Banff but the views and conversations were worth it. I want to add that Brad was exceptionally inclusive (nationalities, religions, sexual orientation) during all of his comments and stories. He is a very funny man and made our journey educational and so much fun.

The appeal of this tour is that you get to see the best of the Canadian Rockies in a very short time. This means a long period in the bus on the first and last days, but this can't be helped. People who took two days to get to Jasper by train thought they saw less than us who took one day to get to Jasper in the bus. Jeff our leader and guide was excellent, as was our driver.
