We had Colin & Jamie for our tour guide/driver and they were very courteous and attentive the entire trip. They gave enough introductions and instructions for our tour bus, and they were both funny with their jokes. We never felt rushed, and the timing of the stops were perfect! We seemed to be always ahead of the crowds. We enjoyed all the planned stops and the couple surprises ones! We didn't want to make the long drive ourselves and we were glad that we chose this tour so we can sit back and relax & marvel at the breathtaking scenery! I highly recommend anyone who wants to see Columbia Ice Field to pick this tour!
Good use of a day
