Well worth this fantastic adventure!

This is a fantastic opportunity to see the best that the Canadian Rockies have to offer. The lakes are crystal clear and absolutely stunning to view. Being close to the mountains is absolutely amazing. Our guide Jacky was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up getting to go to the Banff Hot Springs for an hour when everyone else explored Banff Village and took the Gondola ride. This was shear luck because usually the Hot Springs are packed and you can't buy tickets ahead. We took the risk and it was absolutely worth it! We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Wear comfortable shoes and layer up because anything can happen with the weather!
