A great glimpse of all the included destinations - it s a full experience for sight seeing. the driver was very nice and helpful. i would not recommend this tour for someone who wants to spend more then 40-60 min at each stop. it was perfect for us it gave us a wide range of destinations in one day. The driver assisted the group to get Gondola tickets for those who wanted to go up. This made my day because my son really wanted to go up and i was worried he would not get the opportunity.

Wonderful Banff tour! Our... - Wonderful Banff tour! Our guide and driver, Inder, was patient, accommodating, and truly made us feel like his passengers were the top priority. He brought us to many scenic spots that are hard to access with private cars, making the Viator tour efficient and stress‑free. Highly recommend!

Inder was very patient.... - Inder was very patient. Drove us to all the spots in the itinerary. Beautiful. Good we booked the tour coz the traffic was busy. This tour takes u to a lot of spots. We had reserved the Godola tickets for 4:30 pm but traffic got us delayed. Inder was able to change the tickets for us. It is a whole day trip but worth it. Picked us up the Moose hotel right on time. Lake Moraine was just serene and beautiful. Nice hike to the lower falls at Johnston ca.nyon. overall a wonderful trip.

The pickup was very... - The pickup was very confusing no informatiom about what bus is the correct one. When purchasing the package the listing stated the gondola was included. It was not part of the tour. Luckily the driver went in and arranged for the passengers to get tickets. That we each paid for. The driver was awesome. Overall the tour was great and worth the cost

Misrepresented Tour - The tour is misrepresented. It is promoted as a tour to the Banff Gondola (the major reason we chose it), Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Lake Minniwanka. But when the itinerary arrived a couple days before the trip it showed a total of 9 stops and the cost of the gondola was not included. That was fine except there was not sufficient time scheduled for our tour to do the gondola. Thankfully our wonderful driver contacted whoever organized the tour and managed to get us to the gondola but we had a very short time to do it. Only enough time to buy the expensive tickets and ride up and back. There was no time to see any of the attractions at the top.

Bad experience - Couldn't gondola because it was too late. DE addition, it was not as clear that the tickets were not included. It should have been, and I wasn’t the only one who thought so. I will not be taken back by your organization.

Disastrous....incompetent...STAY AWAY FROM VIATOr - When the agent asks what time would i like to be picked up and i tell him 9;30 he doesn't tell me it is really 7;30 pickup and arrival at 9:30. The price on the website was 119.00 a person Canadian yet he charged me 177.00US for some reason as i did call from Calgary and my phone # was in Canada. I called to ask about the charge and was told there was nothing to be done about the overcharge and if I want I could cancel my tour knowing full well my day was planned. Had i not received an email the night before tell me in fact the pick up was 7.30 not 9.30 I would have missed the tour. Your agent was very difficult to understand making matters worse. In closing the pick up time was incorrect and I was overcharged in Us $ and my complaint about all of this went on deaf ears.
