One of the highlights of this tour was having Jason as our guide for the entire duration! Jason is an expert tour guide and driver rolled into one! He diligently catered to every detail of our itinerary. Although I was the only Korean in the group, he consistently made sure to explain everything in English. Whether you’re traveling alone or in a group, Jason makes sure you feel included and welcome. If you’re looking to make the most of your trip, traveling with Jason is definitely your best option😊👍👍

4 out of 5 stars

Very interesting and informative guide through spectacular scenery. Specific attractions in Glacier National Park highlighted but not in Yoho NP - possibly because there are many more. A fun listen for families completing the journey either way, Lake Louise to Revelstoke or reverse. Guide a little inconsistent during drive requiring resets (easy to complete).

4 out of 5 stars

Audiotour was good. Timing of points of interest was perfect. Interesting facts. Only suggestion would be to keep the info and trivia questions fully related to the area. We found it odd to be answering questions about other countries when we were learning about an area in Canada. Overall good tour for the money!
