5.00In Lake Louise my daughter left her walking boots on the bus. We were about to head off to Banff for a couple of days when we realized but no worries as Sundog arranged to have them delivered to our hotel in Banff. That’s just service above and beyond as far as I am concerned and I can’t thank them enough.
Fun in the snow

5.00Great experience canyon walking. The weather was a little warm which affected the route we were able to take but the guides ensured they placed the safety of the group first. The track may have Bern a little different to what was expected but they ensured we had a fun time. Friendly and inclusive
