This was an excellent tour to hit some of the popular destinations in Banff Park without having to deal with parking. Also the gorgeous Moraine Lake is only accessible to tour groups at this time. Our tour guide Robbie was excellent. Very personable as well as informative.

So nice to be picked up from the hotel and taken to see all the best lakes and mountains with a bit of history thrown in. We had time to get out and explore by ourselves at each site. Our guide was lovely, and shared some funny stories to liven up the day.
