Loved the trip. Lots to see.
The tour was so fun! A decent amount of time spent in Whistler and Banff, and the accommodation for both locations were central, making it easy to go out and explore and we didn't have to worry about how to get into town. Definitely recommend this trip! This tour is a must!
