A unique and informative walking tour! - We thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour in Banff. The app was easy to use, and the information it provided about the caves and hot springs was fascinating. It’s a great way to explore the area if you want some context but also the freedom to linger at certain spots. Overall, a good option for a relaxed, educational experience.

I strongly advise using the Viator guide. - The self guided walking tour was very helpful because there were not very many staff members or maps available on the walking tour.

Scenic but smelly - Scenic views of the Bow River and Sulphur Mtns, interesting stories from the recorded narrative. However, 2nd half of the Marsh route I followed, the path is a big muddy trench used for horse riders so full of horse manure! Would not recommend this route until the path is improved or changed.

Helpful - The app was easy to use. For us, much of the facts/local information shared were things we had learned on our tour of the area. It might be beneficial for those not travelling with a tour.

Was told it was a scam - These tickets did not work at the cave and basin. Was told this has been a problem all year and that these tickets are not real and I had to purchase new ones
