Sulphur Mountain Gondola Ride and Lake Minnewanka Cruise

After being picked up in Canmore, we waited nearly an hour for the actual tour bus to pick us up in Brewster's Banff depot. Once the tour began, it was excellent! The trip on the gondola up Sulphur Mountain was comfortable and gave us views we couldn't get anywhere else. Very nice historical museum at the top and more awesome views and lots of photos. After the ride down the mountain, we went to the Cascade of Time Garden in Banff - beautiful with many photo opportunities. Next we visited Bow River Falls. The boat ride on Lake Minnewanka was smooth, but a little cramped on the boat. Very scenic lake! The narrator on the boat was entertaining.

Breathtaking views and excellent tour guides

The experience was amazing! I've never seen anything more beautiful. Our tour guides from Brewster Tours were so informative about the area and the wildlife. The gondola ride was my favorite, riding up the mountain seeing the views. Once we got to the top it was breathtaking! I was sad to not be able to stay a few more days and explore more of the national park.

Banff Glacier and Ice Field tour

Informative and fantastic day with my wife! Colin and Sid were very relational with all the guest. As a Lifetime member of the PGA of America I saw first class service and relationships that built raving fans! I know I am!
