Dont expect to much from this tour, it gives you a good first overview and nice stopps but not much more. If you are lucky you see some wildlife as we did but the short stops at lake and waterfall is not much more then a foto stopp. Had a good and funny driverguide but if you really want to get to know banff and the region better choose a real wildlife, hiking tour or similar. This is more a first driver around some spots just to give you a idea. For this its almost to expensive.
This is a great tour for first time visitors. It gives one an idea what to see. The tour guide Nicole was great and we got to see so much in 4 hours.
A good basic tour if you want to get a feel for the Banff area and the wildlife that may show up at any time.
Our guide knew tons of local history and dropped tons of knowledge about nature surrounding Banff. My only slight rant would be that we hardly saw much wildlife besides chipmunks, ground squirrels and a quickly disappearing deer nobody's fault really, our guide tried their best to stop and try find them. You'll probably find more wildlife the further away from the town/humans. Brilliant for the nature and history though, I would go if you have about 34 hours to see the major highlights of this pretty town.
love banff and this tour was great our tour guide was excellent
