    4.4· 22 reviews· 4 days

    Four days by coach — explore Banff, Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake with both self-guided and guided options, including transport and park fees.

    Our group of nine recently took a four-day tour of Jasper and Banff with Westar, and while our guides Lisa, Jamie, and Ray were outstanding, I was left very disappointed on the final day. The "Sky Walk tour" that we had booked for the Colombian Icefield was unexpectedly cancelled without any explanation or apology. Upon returning to Toronto, we sought a refund for the Sky Walk tour, for which we had paid $223 (before tax) for four activities per person. However, the office informed us that the refund would only be $8.40, including tax, for each individual. We find this refund unacceptable. I cannot recommend this experience.466emilyx
