Enjoy the scenery and learn about nature without hurry

The tour is leisure and informative, and the coach is comfy. With good time management we could enjoy seeing the scenery and attractions without hurry.

Like I said I’m not...

Like I said I’m not racist. They need to be more specific about the details. Where to meet, English or Chinese group of people. This is not an English guide tour! Hardly understand anything and the tour guide talks throughout the whoooooole ride!!!! My butt hurt from just sitting on the bus all hours!!!! Is it worth the money including lunch? Nope! $225, for only a good time spent in lake Louise. A meal that comes w 3courses was ok (6 outta 10). I also didn’t know you can canoe out there. You’ll have enough time if you don’t do the lunch with it. I am disappointed. Bad experience for my first time doing tours in Alberta. You’re better off adventuring on your own. Just find a ride to get there that’s it. And a ride back. Huuuuge disappointment!!!! Wouldn’t recommend. Sorry not sorry. Rude group of Chinese people including tour guide.
