Excellent tour with a lot of historical detail that really made the context of the environment much more meaningful. Guides was knowledgeable, friendly, well-versed in the history, and generally good natured. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone new to the area.
Jacob was very acknowledgeable and super fun to be around! Learned a lot about the history of Banff and Canada as a first timer in the area and about the animals. Would recommend if you’re coming to Banff for the first time!
