Ben was extremely knowledgable about the areas we visited and was helpful and friendly making the trip extremely enjoyable. All the stops have enough time to get those iconic shots and a drink if required. Ben was accommodating with the last stop which was either free time in Banff or Bow Falls. The trip made visiting the lakes so stress free after seeing the car park situations. Thanks again for making this a memorable day.…”

“Incredible! Benjamin (Ben) was our guide (English/no accent) and he was very knowledgeable of surrounding mountain stories and site locations. Ask questions and will most likely know an answer. He provided us ample time to enjoy our drop offs and for lunch, he was kind enough to prepare us with the options there were and that there may be tight lines. He save us a few minutes walking across the lot by dropping us at the stores. This tour also had a small bus which had much more room and comfort than a small passenger van. The sites speak for themselves and are incredible. I highly suggest this tour company…”
