3.00We visited the most beautiful sights in Canada that we are not able to visit on our own anymore. We were given ample time at each sight and really enjoyed that. We had done many trips with Viator in the past and they were all excellent, but this one we would not rate that highly. Our bus driver was excellent but unfortunately the guide’s English was very difficult to understand. We did not know beforehand that the tour would be 50% in English and 50% in Mandarin. If we had known that we would have chosen a different tour.
It's fun, educative. Road...

5.00Great experience with Steve as our tour guide! We got picked up at the Canmore location in the morning and made our way into Banff, then onto the tour stops. Steve pointed out cool features along the trip with historical context. We stopped at Emerald Lake, Lake Louise Village for lunch, Moraine Lake, and finally Lake Louise. Everything was absolutely gorgeous and the photos don’t do it justice. Highly recommended way to see the beautiful sights around Banff and Canmore.

The sights were breathtaking, and the lakes were just stunning! I can’t recommend this experience enough—everyone should give it a try at least once!
Well worth it

5.00I am a Calgarian but it makes sense to use your tour services no driving, no worries about access or parking. Freeman the tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful and Jim a safe driver. Would definitely consider using your services again in the future
