Wonderful Felix and Joseph - Easy booking the service. Driver Felix and tour guide Joseph were really friendly, helpful and professional. Felix was very kind person, because of him my dad s trip became very easy. My dad has arthritis and rheumatism. He helped my dad always to get off the bus and climb up. Although it was not his responsibility. It truly shows his kindness towards others. Both Felix and Joseph never rushed. They were on time. Joseph was very knowledgeable and told us about the places we were going to visit and little bit about the place. All in all our trip was memorable one.

Banff is a AMAZING - It was a great tour!! Really enjoyed it, spectacular views and Simon was super nice and funny. You have a good amount of time for Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. I would have loved a bit more time at the Emerald Lake but other than that I 100% recommend this tour!

Fantastic and beautiful tour - The whole trip was fantastic, I was a tourist in my own province. Joseph was an amazing tour guide, He was very knowledgeable and kept people truly engaged with all the interesting facts about the trip in fluent English and Mandarin. He had a good sense of humor and kept the tour on track according to time. He checked with the people during the free time and made suggestions about good spots to see. It was a fantastic experience.

Worst and disappointing tour! - Too many pickups or stops, wasted time plus van was dirty and dusty with wet seats. Tour guide is inaudible and did not respond to simple question as “how long is the stay at Lake Louise” he said 35min then it was actually an hour and 10 min, was hard to plan…simply aggravating and unenjoyable long rides and pickups of other customers in diff places took too much ou our time. Total 12 hrs when only a total about 2 or 3 hrs productive in the sights-was really not what my friends and I expected and signed up for. Guide seemed to cater more to Chinese speaking groups which consisted most of the riders and took the most time to pickup and drop offs. It was the worst and a big disappointing tour of all Viator tours wéve taken! Will not recommend!
