Banff and beyond - Norm was our tour guide for the day, and he was an amazing guide for our trip, he had many educational and personal stories that enhanced the experience. He is an excellent driver who shows care towards all who ride his bus. We would highly recommend this tour based on our day spent with Norm and Sundog Tours

Best tour ever!!! - This was the absolute best tour of our trip. Do not miss out on this tour and be sure to make sure you go to the Icefields and the skyway. They were both a wonderful experience. Seeing the scenery along the Icefield’s Parkway was awesome as well as waterfalls and Bow Lake. This tour is a great way to get from Banff to Jasper where you should at least stay a couple of days to take in the area. Also take the Maligne Lake tour while you are there.

EXCEPTIONAL - Great scenery! Great stops! SEAN does an amazing job of sharing his knowledge, love and enthusiasm of the Columbia Icefield Parkway, Waterfalls, Glaciers, Animals, Geology and History of the region. Definitely worth the money. It’s a long 12 hour day, but it was time well spent.

Best way to travel from Banff to Jasper - A great day seeing beautiful lakes, waterfalls & walking on the glacier at Columbia Icefields. Our driver Dave was witty & very entertaining. We were also able to see wildlife as we entered Jasper National Park. The weather was also perfect for the trip. Excellent way to transfer from Banff to Jasper!

Good tri after a shaky start - The bus was quite late arriving due to multiple pick ups. Initially the driver was going to cut out Lake Louise which was a must see. After protest this was rectified, but more time there, and a shorter lunch break would have been better.
