Tia was a wonderful guide. She not only tailored our expedition to the physical levels of the tour folks, but she also made suggestions based on the changing weather. She was very friendly, shared a lot of information about the areas we visited. It was a fantastic tour and we didn't feel like I didn't feel like I missed out on any view, considering how the day evolved with rain, snow, cold.

Excellent tour saw all sights listed. Tour guide Cam did a good job timing things to miss the biggest crowds. Thanks to Cam for advice to drive thru Banff golf course in evening.

Austin was full of knowledge. The sights were amazing! Bow Lake and the glaciers were our highlights of this tour. I love the small group, there were 7 of us. It made it so much more enjoyable. We hit the stops at just the right times. I would recommend Austin and this tour company.
We used Viator to plan other trips also. We were very pleased with this company..........

Thank you for joining us!
Best wishes.
