Thank you Fellow Traveler.

This was a great experience for a solo traveler like me and is also good family activity. Our hosts were and gave a lot of information about the trail, the surrounding area, their own background and the background of the horses. Steak dinner was delicious! 👍👍. I heard about this outing chatting with a traveler from UK that had gone the previous day and highly recommended it. Thank you fellow traveler!

It was very nice

We had booked the wagon tour with barbecue; unfortunately, we were unlucky with the weather, it rained almost the entire time, but it was still very nice and we had a lovely tour through the national park.

Fun Family Activity

Plan to bring a jacket in the summer. The covered wagon company has lots of blankets for the riders. Our family all enjoyed the ride fun and the dinner. We were very happy that we did the covered wagon ride and dinner activity.

Banff the Best

It was amazing and fantastic. Even though it was raining, and cold, the team made it very comfortable for all of us in the wagon. Lisa and Will were great. The best part was narration throughout the trip. And the food and the staff was great!

So much fun and such an excellent experience. Guides were wonderful and the food was great. The horses that pulled the wagon were beautiful and very well trained. It was truly a great way to spend the afternoon in Banff.

Wagon cookout ride

If you want to be informed about the horses, the local area, the wildlife, the nature, the history, then this is definitely for you if you’re not interested in any of that it could just be a 3 hours in a wagon with some food on the way. Also make use of the bathroom facilities at check in if you can’t old it for three hours and you are fussy about were you go as this is ment to be a authentic experience not a 5 star show. We had a great time Great informative staff Good food Chatting to others on wagon and around the table.
