This tour was awesome. Beautiful weather, breathtaking landscapes, well structured, very good travel organization, helpful and kind guides. All the places covered in this tour were nice and worth it. I loved the Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Emerald lake, Maligne lake, Columbia Icefield tour, and all of the places included in this trip. The hotel accommodations provided in Banff downtown as well as in Jasper were top-notch. We stayed in Canalta Lodge in Banff downtown and Forest Park Hotel in Jasper. We had 2 tour guides who managed the entire trip for us. On day 1, we had Tour Guide Jaela and the bus driver Daniel from Westar travels who took us to Banff and Yoho National Park. On days 2 & 3, the tour guide Ray from Westar Travel took care of entire trip thereafter. He drove us to Jasper in a mini van and accompanied us through every attraction together for the 2 days. Both Jaela and Ray were very friendly and good at explaining the niceties of places and made the experience really memorable. They also helped take good pictures with the family. Throughout the 2 days trip to and from Jasper, Ray shared countless interesting anecdotes and stories. For meals and other required breaks, Ray took care to recommend good places serving veggie meals also for the 2 days. There was good coordination between TakeTours and the service provider Westar Travel. Depending on the number of travelers to the different spots that was included in this itinerary, our plans for the 3 days was adjusted. We had Day 3 Banff listed itinerary on the first day of the tour, and itineraries for Day 1&2 were conducted on Day 2 & 3 respectively. Based on the itinerary change, the hotel and food arrangements were adjusted accordingly, and we were well taken care of by the team on ground. Shout out to both Ray and Jalela who did a wonderful job as a tour guide and made this trip a cherishing one. I would highly recommend this tour to others who want to get a glimpse of Canadian Rockies in short days. For the first timers to these places, I would also recommend that you take all the activities that are included in this trip. All of the activities are worth it. Given a chance, I will plan to go again and spend more time in Banff and Jasper. Fantastic tour!
