Edward was an amazing guide and the views were incredible to see, I can’t wait to come back
Outstanding excursion. Lots of amazing views
⭐️⭐️⭐️‐️‐️ for Tony our guide. He was considerate with great attention, he gave many explanations and advice. Small group of 9 people in a comfortable bus. The only negative point, due to lack of participants, we were not able to enjoy the visit in French (which is why we chose this provider). So we understood only part of the explanations (the fault to our English). We were informed of this change the day before.
Un grand merci pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les petites attentions et le confort de notre petit groupe avec Tony. Nous sommes cependant sincèrement désolés que la visite n'ait pas pu se faire entièrement en français comme prévu. Nous essayons toujours de maintenir nos départs bilingues, mais nous comprenons que la barrière de la langue ait pu limiter votre expérience. Votre patience et votre gentillesse envers Tony sont très appréciées, et nous espérons vous revoir pour une immersion totale dans les Rocheuses !
Edward is a great tour guide with fun humor and takes us to many beautiful sights.
非常感謝您的好評！聽到您覺得 Edward 幽默有趣，我們真的一點也不意外，他最擅長的就是讓旅程充滿歡笑。很高興他帶領大家看到的風景讓您感到滿意。我們會把這份稱讚轉達給 Edward，他一定會非常開心！期待下次能再帶您探索更多洛磯山脈的美景。
Perfect! The itinerary was very well planned.
We love to hear that! Our goal is to make every journey feel seamless and well-paced, so it’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the plan we put together. Thank you for choosing Banff Journey, and we hope to see you again for another adventure soon!
