    2023-06-15
  • We really enjoyed the 5-day Banf and Jasper National Parks and Columbia Icefield tour. The sceneries even on the drive were beautiful and the bus was comfortable. Our tour guide Hugo was friendly and very helpful. Favorites would have to be Morraine Lake and the Columbia Icefield. The extra admission fees were worth it because of the experiences and sights that we got to see and the interesting stories we got to hear. Definitely recommend this tour for people who want to see a variety of places in limited time.
