The tour was largely excellent; our guides were exceptionally knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring a positive experience, with punctual pickups and appropriate time allocation at each location. However, two significant shortcomings require attention. Firstly, the tour group size was unexpectedly large; while the initial day comprised a manageable ten participants, the second day involved twenty-four, a considerable increase not disclosed in pre-tour materials, indicating a lack of transparency. Secondly, the twenty-four-seater bus used on the second day was unclean and provided an uncomfortable, bumpy ride.

Day 1 – Tour with Peter: Peter was a great guide; calm, informative, and very professional. We really enjoyed the day with him. Day 2 – Different guide and group: The guide and group changed, and due to fewer people, we repeated Lake Louise and Banff Town. Still a good day, just a bit repetitive. Overall: Great experience, especially thanks to Peter on the first day!
