    5.0· 206 reviews

    Eleven hours by van — explore Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Banff, with small groups and expert commentary throughout the day.

    Mark was fantastic. He knew a lot about Banff, was humorous, and enthusiastic about taking everyone's pictures. When we faced a sudden closure of one of the lakes, he managed it like a pro without losing momentum. I'm glad to share that I included some of his photos in my dating profile and have gone on a few dates thanks to him. Mark, if you see this, I owe you a beer.A8736ACkennethd
