    Kenneth is the best tour guide that’s you can expect

    W_C, Dec 2025
    Kenneth is the best tour guide that’s you can expect, warm, friendly, welcoming, and informational. When we are on board, he shared the story/history of Hwy 1, icefield parkway, th boss and the bear survival techniques. When we are visiting the sites, he provided snow shoes/ice cleat, help us take the best photo, also hot chocolate and snacks. His support team share timely info on pick up and pack own lunch etc

    Great day out

    Lam, our tour guide for the day was really helpful, encouraging when I nearly gave up on the best view at Peyto, understanding of those who were unable to participate, taking photos for us all, just really good at his job. Really appreciate him driving us to and back safely on the whole days tour. I am taking so many beautiful memories back to Australia. Thank you Lam.

    Picture heaven
