Great Day Tour!

5.00The Columbia Icefields are interesting and a great experience! We left Calgary at 7 am and did not get back until 7:30 pm so it was a long day but totally worth it! We made several stops on the way and saw beautiful views at each stop. It snowed the day before so it was like riding through a winter wonderland. Tony, our driver was great. When we left Calgary the roads still had ice and slushy snow. Tony drove cautiously and made sure we arrived safely! I can not thank him enough for his careful driving. Additionally, Tony stopped at picturesque places and helped us by taking our pictures. The Icefields were interesting and riding in a snow coach was an experience. Great day trip and thank you Tony for your great driving and keeping us on time!
Don’t miss this trip!

5.00My friend and I had a fantastic time. The tour guide, Chris, is very friendly and shared some sightseeing tips with us. The tour provided enough time to explore each location. We felt fortunate that the weather was perfect. The breathtaking scenery remains clear in our memories. The glacier experience is also well worth it.
Highly Recommended
