Located just 30 km south of Jasper, Athabasca Falls is a striking natural marvel in the Canadian Rockies.

5.00What started as a last-minute trip turned out to be one of the most enjoyable travel experiences I've had in a long time. I booked just two days before departure and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. To my surprise, the customer service team responded incredibly quickly and professionally. From answering questions to coordinating with the tour guide, everything was organized and seamless. One feature I especially loved was the mobile app they provided—it allowed me to select my seat in advance and even track the vehicle's location in real time. For someone who just wants to relax and enjoy the trip without worrying about logistics, it was perfect. The itinerary itself was thoughtfully designed. Rather than rushing from one attraction to another, the journey unfolded naturally—from exploring the city, to experiencing the breathtaking beauty of Banff for the first time. Along the way, we were lucky enough to spot wildlife around unexpected corners, creating those unforgettable travel moments you can't plan for. The highlight was definitely getting up close to the glaciers. The scale and beauty were simply stunning, and no photo can truly capture the feeling of standing there in person. A special shout-out to our guide Geoff, who truly made the experience even better. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the Rockies, they shared fascinating stories, local history, wildlife facts, and hidden gems throughout the journey.

5.00Experience world-class mountains and rivers with panoramic views. This trip is an exploration trip to prepare for the next in-depth visit. In the last two days, I was deeply impressed by the tour guide "LISA", whose in-depth explanations and timetable control were very good. It was hard work (the bus was full). During this period, I could feel her grievance and enthusiasm when facing various customers with unreasonable and unreasonable demands. If she was not full of service spirit, who could be so aggrieved and swallow tears in her belly? I would like to remind you that your company can be considerate of the workers working outside. They are the front line of the company's improvement of quality and development. Being less demanding and more caring will be the key to a win-win situation! I will definitely recommend this trip to family and friends! 🌹🌹🌹

5.00I want to sincerely thank the 3 guides my husband and I had during our trip to the Rockies. Simon, Lisa and Jaela. They were wonderful. Explanations and instructions were clear. They were always volunteering to take pictures, they always smiles and were very entertaining. I will definitely be traveling with Westar again. Also thank you to Louise who helped us plan the trip.
