A Great Experience! - Our most memorable experiences were the mountain scenery and lunch at Chateau Lake Louise. The only difficulty that we experienced was the fact that the van was very high and it was difficult for a handicapped person to get in and out of the van. However, we had a wonderful driver/guide who was very helpful. We definitely recommend this tour!

So, pack your warmest clothes, grab your loved one, and head to Lake Louise for a Valentine’s Day filled with romance, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
