Great Experience!

It was amazing and exciting with Hana and James. They were very knowledgeable and were there to explain any questions along the way. Tour was kept on schedule time , lunch was served buffet style, lots of choices. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. It was worth every penny !

Amazing Trip

The trip to the mountain lakes was absolutely mind-blowing. The tour guide and the driver shared incredible facts and historical background of the places I visited. But did miss waterfalls as the road was blocked. Overall was a great experience.

Banff National Park and Lakes

The ride to all the lakes and to the Takakka waterfall was worth every penny. Our guides Luke, Sean, and Colin did a fantastic job. We even saw a bear. It was a beautiful experience.
