“The tour/activity itself was awesome. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun!! I would have given it 5 star, bur we got lost because of the meeting point link provided by viator in the voucher. We wasted our time driving about 45min more! It completely ruined our schedule. Good thing, pursuit was very understanding and put us on stand-by. Viator, pls update your address link.”

Full-day Banff trip to the Columbia Icefields via Icefields Parkway, with Ice Explorer ride, Columbia Icefield Skywalk, Lake Louise stops.

“Excellent tour. The views the entire journey to the icefields and back are absolutely stunning! The ice fields and glacier were very cool to see and walk on. The bus was clean and comfy and windows were big! Easy to catch all the views. Tour guide Mike was very knowledgable and nice. Also, the sweet guide from Melbourne (can't remember her name!) was also very nice and helpful. This was a great tour of the park. It's massive! I would not have driven this far into the park on my way own. Easily the prettiest drive I"ve ever seen. So worth the entire day it took for the tour!”

“I recently took a guided tour in Banff, and our guide/driver Ross made the experience truly outstanding. His driving skills were excellent —smooth, safe, and confident, even on snowy mountain roads. Ross was also incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment the tour began. He shared great insights, kept the atmosphere enjoyable, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the trip. The tour was very well organized, punctual, and thoughtfully planned. The booking process was smooth, communication was clear, and the itinerary was well-balanced with enough time at each stop. The bus was clean and comfortable, and everything ran exactly on schedule—something I really valued.”

Jasper to the Columbia Icefields Parkway with Ice Explorer, Glacier Skywalk, Skywalk tickets, and an included hot buffet lunch.

“The trip, Icefield tour, Athabasca falls and Sky walk are definetely worth doing but not with this Brewsters tour. The driver Dustin, on our tour turned up a little late and then looped back around Jasper to make an unscheduled stop at Tim Hortons' this wasn't necessarily too bad however should you turn up back to the coach just one minute late you can expect a 30 minute berating over the PA system. The driver continued his rant like behaviour by suggesting exactly when passengers should and shouldn't use the toilets this was to a coach load of tourists where no one was under 30 years of age.
