5.00Communication and information was spot on. Brooke picked us up ( and she was early) at the Banff Train station and we had a spectacular day. We found the stories and factual information fascinating and complete. Brooke’s background as a guide and skier added to the enjoyment of the day. We were treated to a very personal experience as the tour was only our group (lucky us!) . Brooke was professional and flexible and a joy to be with!!! Thanks!! Highly recommended tour. We saw ALOT!
Great day with Cam!
