    The driver/narrator (Brad) was very interesting and help maintain our concertation throughout the trip. The host (Harry) was equally engrossing!! Very unique experience on this tour, including the Athabasca Glacier!!

    Out of this world. Always wanted to walk on glacier. Colin and Riley did an excellent job. Drive was epic. Food was great. Experience fabulous. Would do again. Sad to see the decline of our earth's beauty because of global warming. Got to see lake Louise, lake peyto and scenic drive thorough Cabadian Rockies.

  • Horrible experience with Viator!

    To whom it may concern, This is our worst experience ever! Viator sent us the tickets with 8am hotel pickup and also sent us 4 reminders with 8am time. Unfortunately, the local operator called us and told us they left at 7:36am because they didn’t see us 7:30am at hotel lobby! So we missed the trip we paid $1,124 due to Viator’s mistake! I have been called Viator twice and emailed twice asking for refund from Viator, however, all Viator told me was “we regret for what happened but we couldn’t refund you…”, this is robbing our money! Never go with Viator, it’s a horrible company without any customer service! Doris X

  • Best Scenic Tour of Banff!

    Excellent tour. The views the entire journey to the icefields and back are absolutely stunning! The ice fields and glacier were very cool to see and walk on. The bus was clean and comfy and windows were big! Easy to catch all the views. Tour guide Mike was very knowledgable and nice. Also, the sweet guide from Melbourne (can't remember her name!) was also very nice and helpful. This was a great tour of the park. It's massive! I would not have driven this far into the park on my way own. Easily the prettiest drive I"ve ever seen. So worth the entire day it took for the tour!
