Our guide Navi was brilliant. He ensured we had a good amount of time at each stop and was on hand to ensure everyone was having a good time. We were fortunate enough to be part of a small group which made the day even better. So much to see, bow lake, peyto lake, lake Louise and Johnston canyon. Navi even stopped off at other viewpoints for photo opportunities. All in all a brilliant, memorable day.
