5.00We’ve chosen private tour to Banff as it was the best match for our family. Everything was perfectly organized by Oleksandra who was our guide & driver. The vehicle was very comfortable. The private nature of the trip made everything even more special - you can soak in every moment, every cold breath of mountain air, every glimpse of wildlife, every quiet minute beside the lake surrounded by mountain silhouettes. Incredible impressions! There was plenty of free time in the Banff city itself. You can take lunch at the restaurant by your choice & enjoy the walk around the city. Our high recommendations for One Day Trip company. We will be back again - for summer adventure this time 👌
