Cameron was a great guide, so knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of tips and information to make the drive and the stops enjoyable. Offered to take pictures of us at each stop and really welcomed us to Banff! This was our first tour of our vacation and a great way to start the trip. Boo the grizzly Bear was our favorite.
Great Excursion

the guide Cameron was very good, explained and showed a lot. the negative thing about this tour: we started in Banff, of the planned 10 hours we sat in the bus for 5 of them.

Let me begin by sharing THIS IS A 11 HOUR BUS experience. This trip is NOT explained well on aviator, nor was the pickup location correct and they swapped out our lunch at the highest lookout point to the bottom of a ski resort! There is NO hiking, you could do this in sandals. The guide was wonderful and very informative about bears and Canada.
