The winter lakes and mountains of Banff are absolutely worth the visit. Rachel advised us to bring slip‑on ice grips, which made walking to the lake for photos much safer. Natural Bridge and Emerald Lake were both unique. Though busy, the photo spots were well spaced, so we still had a great experience.
I loved the landscapes, especially around Lake Minnewanka, but as someone who prefers warmer weather, the cold was a bit bracing! Still worth it for the views.
We traveled with our two teenagers, and they loved it. The itinerary kept them engaged, especially the stop at the Ginseng factory in Kamloops. The organization was flawless; hotel check-ins were pre-arranged so we didn't have to wait. The dining options were convenient for a family. We felt very safe with the driver's skills. I would highly recommend this for families who want a taste of
Winter Wonderland
Overall, this tour was great! We had a very nice tour guide that always gave us valuable information and interesting facts. The itinerary was well-chosen. I know that due to the season we couldn't see all of the Nationalpark, but we did see a lot in those 4 days. The only change I would recommend is to give people more time at Johnston Canyon to walk up all the way to the Upper Falls and maybe save some time earlier in the Ski Resort as without skiers the 2 hours appeared quite long. The hotels were simply fantastic! Alone the Fairmont was worth the trip to be honest! Concerning the chosen restaurants for lunch, I would say they were well-chosen in terms of location and time, but the restaurant at Lake Louise was actually quite bad! Sorry to say that, but the food there was not at all delicious. Anyways, we had a great trip, everything was going nice and easy and I would definitely recommend the trip! Best wishes, Jan
