Not handicapped accessible
The bus is not handicapped accessible, and where they are mandated to park is a good 200 yards from Lake Louise viewing point. Just for planning purposes! Great views! Moraine Lake was closer access for Walker to see the lake. Chris was a great guide !

Really friendly tour - worth doing
I don’t tend to like tours, however, this one may have changed my mind on this. Our guide was Erin who was very good at keeping the balance right between talking when driving and giving information but allowing us space once at the spots. The spots we went to very fantastic, photo opportunities were amazing- we had really good weather. Timing for Banff gondola was really good. We really enjoyed the whole tour including the gondola which we will review separately. Brody was waiting for us when we came down from the gondola and was so amenable to the group taking requests for where to drop people. I can’t recommend this company and tour enough - they were brilliant

Great guide but bad weather for a view
Ellie was a great guide! She shared a lot of interesting information and knew great spots to see bighorn sheep and elk. The gondola was only ok because it was very cloudy due to weather, we couldn’t see much of anything from the top. The saving grace was Ellie got them to start the marshmallow toasting back up and we enjoyed some hot sugar.

Our food guide-guru, Jo, was awesome. There were plenty of stops and drinks. The range of food was wide and varied. The conversation was easy and knowledgeable. Our party learned about the food, the locale and local traditions. We have done many food tours and this one was one of the best ever!
