Beautiful lakes. Average bus trip. I would have liked more information before the trip, such as how long we’d have to explore in each place & which we’d visit first etc. Would have liked longer at Lake Louise to hike up to the tea rooms - knowing in advance that this wouldn’t be feasible would have allowed me to choose another tour provider. The bus driver was a poor communicator & didn’t address the group at any point: didn’t introduce himself or confirm which tour he was hosting, nor what time we needed to meet back at the bus for the next leg of the journey or return. As a basic ‘to and fro’ this was adequate but there’s much room for improvement.
