Our guide Arrun was absolutely wonderful. My sister and I took the tour to the various lakes in and around Banff and also Johnston Canyon… some of the trails were quite icy, but Arrun ensured that we were safe and was very attentive. We went to quite a few beautiful lakes and he gave us all the information about each one and pointed out other things of interest along the way. A wonderful day packed with adventures and fun… We would highly recommend Arrun as a tour guide.

Got to see some spectacular sights and our guide Guri was super friendly and knowledgeable. I would have liked more time at certain spots, however I like to explore much more than the average person so I'll just have to comeback to some of these spots later. It was a very packed day so we got a decent amount of time at each location all things considered. Highly recommend.
