The tour guide, Kenneth, was very enthusiastic and professional in introducing the scenery along the way. He also taught us how to take better photos, and my friends and I really enjoyed this trip.

This whole day tour is a very good opportunity to see some great spots in the Banff national park region. We stopped at three different frozen lakes with time to enjoy the scenery there and drove through the scenic landscape. The tour was well organized by the friendly tourguide Lam. It was a great experience and I would recommend it to everybody.

Amazing experience. Wonderful sights to see. All led by Kenneth who made us feel safe when driving the bus, entertaining us with funny anecdotes, and then off the bus he showed us the awesome places that we visited. He took amazing pictures of us and then kept us warm with tea and chocolate. Highly recommend this tour

Everything was organized at the best possible level. We were really impressed with everything on this tour, from agency communication to the driver - Ken. Ken was very professional and courteous, he helped us with using snow shoes, crampons, and tips on how to take the best photos and where to go to get the best experience. This was one of the best tours we've been on.
