Customer Reviews
Banff sightseeing
2023-07-26
We hired a car and driver so we could view the scenery on the 2 hour drive to the park. Extremely disappointed that the windows were blocked with letters and screening. Driver was a good driver, but not forthcoming with information. We won't be recommending this service.
Enjoyed the visual spectacle
2023-05-22
We really enjoyed this experience and the visual spectacle provided by Banff and surrounds.
Our guide Sumit took a while to become engaged, but was very obliging with our itinerary. Our day trip was enough to encourage us to return to Banff for more exploration.
This was a 10 hour long day trip. The only downside was on the drive back Sumit was becoming very tired and we were concerned for our safety with micro naps resulting in mulitple lane deviations. The car was quite comfortable for a long trip.
