5.00We had a great time on this tour! Our driver and guide Chris was awesome! So glad we got to see Peyto lake as well! It was great that Chris had water and snacks too. Advice for travelers - it’s a lot of time in the car so make sure you take advantage of bathroom breaks! Bring extra socks your feet may get wet on the glacier. Have cash on hand - credit card machines didn’t work at Columbia ice field
Highly recommended

5.00The guide was very kind and took a lot of photos. They explained it in a way that even those of us who are not good at English could understand, and they were always attentive. It was very good to participate. I encountered a wild bear and was able to take pictures.
Excellent for family with little children

5.00This was my favorite Viator tour! D was our guide and he was wonderful. He was enthusiastic, responsible, and made sure his group had a fun time while ensuring we were all safe and remained on schedule. He even took pictures of our group at each location which was very appreciated! The tour itself was very well-organized and stopped at many beautiful places, and didn’t feel rushed at each stop. The van was comfortable, and the ride was enjoyable. We even got to see a bear on the way! Our group had an amazing time, many thanks to D!
