Icefields Parkway Tour: Columbia Icefield Adventure, Bow Lake och Peyto Lake

The tour guide, Kenneth, was friendly and caring. He walked up to the Peyto Lake view point with us. He could have taken a break at each stop. He even drove back and turned his van around because we spotted bears in the wood along the highway.

Kenneth är fantastisk. Han är en så hjälpsam och professionell guide. Han ledde oss till glaciären och bergen för att se en hisnande utsikt. Han tog också massor av foton åt oss i den iskalla kylan på -21 grader. Vi njöt verkligen av turen. Jag rekommenderar starkt att följa med på turen, särskilt om du har turen att få Kenneth som guide.

Detta var en fullspäckad och intensiv resa som började cirka kl. 9 på morgonen från Banff hotell och varade till kl. 19 på kvällen. Sjöutsikten var fantastisk. Därefter åkte vi till glaciären för 3 timmars nöje (valfritt mot extra kostnad). Vår guide Lam var mycket professionell och hjälpte oss att ta många vackra bilder. Tack, Lam!

Jacky was our tour guide, he was very friendly and informative on the fun facts along the drive, and he even helped us for pictures or getting around the lake stops. The itinerary was great, although my only suggestion would be to have some more time for the Columbia Icefield stop as we only got about 3h, however with the Icewalk itself taking about 2h (including waiting for the buses), we only had ~15mins to spend at the Skywalk and didnt have time at all for the discovery centre, but thats more on the Columbia icefields logistics as their buses take a while (so not the actual tour here). If we were allowed maybe an extra hour it wouldve been even better. Overall still a 10/10 experience and one of the top highlights of my sister and I's trip, will definitely do it again and I highly recommend Jacky as he was a superb tour guide!

We had a wonderful tour along the Icefields Parkway, with stops at Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. The drive itself was absolutely spectacular, with incredible mountain scenery, glaciers, and beautiful landscapes the entire way. Bow Lake was especially stunning and one of the highlights of the trip. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the view at Peyto Lake because it was raining, but that's just part of nature and gives us a great reason to come back again. A special thank you to our tour guide, Michael, who made the experience even better. He was so funny, friendly, and incredibly informative, sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the journey. His sense of humor kept everyone entertained, and he made the long drive enjoyable from start to finish. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour!

Jag rekommenderar verkligen den här turen – det var en fantastisk upplevelse och absolut värt det! De erbjuder turen på både engelska och kinesiska, vilket är jättebra. Atmosfären var fantastisk; vår guide, Kenneth, lyckades köra samtidigt som han gav engagerande kommentarer och höll energin hög hela tiden. Vid varje stopp förklarade Kenneth inte bara sevärdheterna utan agerade också som ett fotoproffs, hjälpte oss att ta bilder och lärde oss hur vi fick de bästa bilderna. Det fanns också omtänksamma extrafunktioner – att ha varm choklad som väntade på oss efter ett sightseeingstopp var en så hjärtevärmande detalj. I de iskalla, snöiga förhållandena tog Kenneth väl hand om alla, tillhandahöll utmärkt vinterutrustning och såg till att vi alla höll oss varma. Sammantaget en felfri och oförglömlig resa!

Dagens resa var fantastisk, guiden och chauffören tog hand om oss helhjärtat, hjälpte oss att ta bilder, bryggde varmt te och körde stabilt. Tack för allt arbete, jag rekommenderar verkligen detta!

行程安排很好，司機兼導遊亦很細心，風景很美，哥倫比亞冰川體驗很特別，很值得入去。

Amazing Columbia Icefield trip! The guide was incredibly thoughtful. He provided detailed explanations for every single attraction. Highly recommended for everyone!

Great experience and great views. Jessi our tour guide was very entertaining and gave lots of great information about the parks, the history, and wildlife. He even managed to attract bears on our trip, and after he showed us a black bear and a few of us spotted more. I’d especially recommend for anyone without private transport as this area is difficult to travel to without a guide.
