Johnston
It was a long 12 hours beautiful trip from Calgary. Our tour guide Lisa was amazing, entertaining and very helpful.
Wonderful Banff trip
Today we visited Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Natural Bridge, feasting our eyes on the breathtaking scenery of the Canadian Rockies. Backed by snow-capped peaks, Lake Louise boasts crystal-clear turquoise water. Emerald Lake captivates visitors with its vivid green hues and tranquil, soothing atmosphere. Natural Bridge is a magnificent display of nature’s craftsmanship — every sight left us mesmerized. Special thanks to our guide Lisa. She is well-versed in local culture, geography and geology, delivering vivid, detailed commentary. The itinerary was well-paced, with ample time reserved for sightseeing and photography. Lisa was patient, thoughtful and looked after our group throughout the tour. Thanks to Lisa’s professionalism and attentive service, our Rockies trip was absolutely fantastic. Highly recommended!
Incredible, life changing, rejuvenating.
I am so incredibly grateful that I had Lisa as my tour guide both for this trip and the Lake Louise trip. She is so incredibly kind, funny, animated and considerate of everyone on her tour. She was cognizant that I was a solo traveller and always offered to take pictures of me so that I wouldn’t just have a bunch of selfies. She truly added to the wonder that is the Canadian Rockies and I don’t think I could have had a better time. The views were incredible and I am going home a more healed person. I highly recommend taking the time to do this tour. Lisa, thank you for your kindness, compassion, and energy.
Lisa is the best!
Lisa was very informative, approachable, and very jolly. If you can book a guide with Lisa I would highly recommend!
