5.00Christine is a great tour guide. She helped us a lot about Canadian geography and history. She made sure that our family was taken care of. And, shout out loud to Kim, our driver. A great driver indeed.

1.00Complete mis-representation of this tour, we booked the English guide tour to avoid the English/Mandarin tours due to the poor reviews of these tours. We found ourselves as the only Non Asian people on this coach who had meal plans included in their bookings, this option was at no time ever offered to us, on arrival at the first lunch stop we were told the nearby Service station was our meal option, at every stop the coach stopped at a Chinese buffet restaurant and we were told we had 50 minutes to locate, eat and be back at the coach. This was never explained to us and made our meal times very unpleasant due to the time constraint imposed. The hotel used for Banff (and for that matter all locations were substandard ) The Banff location was over 40 kilometres from Banff. The Guide ( James) had extremely poor English and most of the time we could not understand what he was saying or what we were being shown. Viator and C Tours should be avoided at all costs, Viator verbally agreed we had been placed on the wrong tour but no recompense was forth coming.
We loved our trip to Banff

5.00We opted for spring tour to Banff. The tour was amazing. We visited kalowna, Banff, lake Louise and Kamloops. If you want to check out snow during spring then this is the tour for you. The hotels we stayed were all 3 star hotels, very neat and hygienic. We paid some extra for 7 meals as we wanted to mend with our tourists and stay with the group the whole time. We had some amazing Asian, Chinese and Korean food. There were vegetarian options given to us as we requested for it. Our tour guide Christine was amazing. “We love you Christine”. She gave us information throughout the bus ride about the towns and cities we were passing by and the details about the itinerary. She was not just a guide but a friend and a family to us. She took very good care of us throughout our trip. The driver was very kind too and took us to an additional tourist spot at Yoho national park. Overall I recommend you to try this tour if you have limited time and do not wanna drive 8 hours and just wish to relax and enjoy the view. Some pictures that I took during my bus ride to Banff attached. Cheers, Group 14 ☺️❤️
