We enjoyed everything about our tour! Russell is very knowledgeable,kind, and extremely professional. The staff at the Fairmont Palliser asked us what we saw on our tour. When we shared our experience's they replied, “Wow! You saw things most visitors never see. But, all the locals absolutely love the areas you visited today!” This is an awesome experience and we highly recommend!
