Well worth the money

A great trip. Loads of variety during the day visiting the skywalk and the glacier. An excellent lunch (that I’d forgotten we were having). Saw 2 black bears on the journey back to Banff. A special shout out to Amy and Steph who were excellent as driver/ commentator and host.

Brewster Trips are Great.

We took this excursion through Rail Bookers and did several of the tours. Amy McQueen was our driver and we had several hosts- Bri and Steph. They are amazing! Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of beautiful scenery, historic info. Brewster was great. We would highly Recommend Brewster.

A very special day out

I cannot speak highly enough of this tour. Our guide Nathan was exceptional both in his knowledge of the area and coupled with a good sense of humour he made our day totally enjoyable. The glacial skywalk and the icefield tour both exceeded our expectations and we loved our time on Athabasca glacier. To top the day off we saw two black bears.

highly recommend taking this tour!

Such a great tour and experience. Jack and Brad were amazing tour guides and made the excursion so much more fun. So many beautiful stops along the way to the glacier and back. It was totally worth the cost and the time! The coach bus was very comfortable and the buffet lunch was good enough.
