Traveler reviews
There is s much to see around Banff x
We had a really lovely time, it seemed a bit expensive at first glance, however, from the gondola, to the lunch to the cruise on Lake Minnewanka as well as numerous other stops around Banff, it was totally worth it. We had Brian and Steph as our guides and it was fun
Excellent views of Canadian Rockies in gondola tour
This was an excellent tour in Banff. It exceeded my expectations. I greatly enjoyed the narration and stories told by the bus driver, (Brian, I believe) and also by the student guide. They shared the time equitably in giving us insights and I appreciated that fairness. Both had different perspectives and both were valuable. The gondola portion was expensive, but worth it for the views. Also, I was impressed by the movie that was showing on the second floor; gorgeous drone footage with dramatic closeup views of skiers and mountaineering experts. The gift shop at the gondola (atop the mountain) also was impressive. We got a very close-up photo of a large bighorn sheep below the boardwalk viewing area at the top. The boat tour on the lake was low-key but enjoyable. There were some loons on the lake.
Friendly tour guides
The driver, Andy, and tour guide, Talia were excellent
Lovely Banff
Driver Colin and host Michaela were absolutely brilliant - pick up was great and they kept us fully engaged and informed all day . The gondola tour was spectacular and the highlight of the trip.( take a jacket its chilly at the top ) Lake minewanka tour although beautiful is a little underwhelming .
Easy and Comfortable Outing
Our host Hailee and Driver Gerald were welcoming, informative and very energetic adding greatly to this excursion. Lunch was an added surprise. Including two attractions with tickets included made the day easy and fun. Plenty of time at all the stops.
