“Great Day Trip - My daughter and I had a fantastic day hiking to Johnston Canyon first and then Lake Louise on this Radventures Winter Wonderland tour. The hike to Johnston Canyon was a lovely start to the day and Michael F was a wealth of knowledge giving lots of interesting information along the way. Even though it was snowing and visibility wasn’t great, the snow added a magical element to our Lake Louise visit. Michael was the perfect guide for the day and when we were early finishing at Lake Louise, he took us to a couple of more beautiful spots along the way home. We highly recommend this tour and thank you for a great day out.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-21
