Best tour ever - This tour was absolutely amazing, one of the best experiences I had in Canada. Our guide, Joseph, was incredible from start to finish. He was super friendly, and made the whole trip so much more enjoyable. He shared a lot of interesting stories and information about Banff during the drive, and he was also an excellent photographer and took really great photos for everyone throughout the tour. That honestly made the experience even more special. On the way back, he even helped me find the closest drop-off point to my Airbnb and kindly dropped me off there, which I really appreciated after a long day. And Banff itself was just so amazing... The scenery was unreal! So soso recommend!!!!!!! It is worth more than this price

Great way to explore Banff national park - We are on our honeymoon from Scotland and really wanted to see Banff national parks. Especially the lakes. We were picked up at a hotel very close to the one we are staying at. Our guide Joseph was really informative and fun the whole day. He offered to take photos of us at all of the stops and he is a great photographer too! We stopped at each attraction for the ideal amount of time and had a chance to get some food at Lake Louise town at midday. Perfect way to see and learn about the scenery of Banff national park.

Go if you want a bus driver - Guide was friendly but while we appreciate the safe driving, the tour was more of a hop on/ hop off bus. She did give us history and information but most of our 4 stops were shortened: Marble canyon was 25-30 min (instead of 45 min), Lake Louise was 40 min (instead of 1 hour as described in the tour description), and Natural Bridge was completely skipped all together with no alternative spot so we got back to Banff super early around 3 pm (we started the tour 10 am). We were 2 passengers but only given 1 gift tote bag (I guess since we were together) when she had 3 totes for 3 passengers.

Excellent tour with an incredible guide - Layse was our tour guide and did an absolutely fantastic job. She was very informative yet comical and made sure the tour ran extremely smoothly. At the beginning of the tour she handed out crampers, for our shoes, which was a very very welcome addition, as most of the terrain was slippery and icy. Although we went on the winter tour, meaning the lakes were not blue, it was still incredibly scenic and the information given was still very relevant.

Winter wonders of Canada - My winter day trip was spectacular with one other couple from my country and our tour guide, Layse M. Specifically, we went to (in no particular order) Marble Canyon - Yoho National Park - Emerald Lake - Natural Bridge - Lake Louise - Banff Town. Layse was very informative about the history and cultural heritage of Banff National Park (and all the sub-parks). Going at this time of year, certain parks are closed off, such as Moraine Lac, to those of the general public who aren’t aware of the safety concerns this time of year. If you are new to snow, consider bringing along snow spikes, however the parks are decently equipped with guard rails as well if you like to climb. Thank you to Layse and Westar Travel for a great time to connect with the Canadian Rockies.

Wonderful - Must try trip - We had a wonderful experience with our guide Layse. She arrived on time and was friendly, knowledgeable, and very professional. She shared clear and helpful information before, during, and after every stop. She is an excellent rider, and we felt very confident and safe with her driving skills throughout the journey. The entire trip was well planned and well managed. We reached every destination on time, spent enough time at each place, and returned back home on time as well. Everything was exactly as shown in the itinerary. A heartfelt thank you to Layse and the entire team for making this travel plan smooth, enjoyable, and truly memorable.

Trip was good. Layse was... - Trip was good. Layse was great. She talked about the history of the areas. More time would be nice at stops and trip was only 6 hours. Didn’t make it to Banff. It was understandable not going to Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge due to weather and road conditions so went to Johnston Canyon as a replacement. Definitely not enough time to fully enjoy the sites with ease. We were excited to see these areas and for sure felt like we were rushed. Something to consider. The parking for the day was outrageous as well. No lineups this time of year which was nice except for lunch which was also not a great experience. I’m fortunate to be an avid hiker with experience but if other travellers are not this would definitely be something to look into with a guide along. Trails were simple enough though situations can come up and if you are not aware that potentially could be an issue. Marble canyon was partially blocked off due to an avalanche prior so an understanding about that would be beneficial. Noticed that others were not following trail protocol which creates problems as well. It was a nice experience all in all and not having to be the one driving was nice but for future trips I would recommend allowing more time and utilize the allotted 8-10 hours as stated on the trip. Information about parking would be helpful as well.
