We absolutely loved our tour. It was a bit crowded. We wished had a longer time. But the guides were great. The ride out to the glacier was fun. And to see the expressions on our son was totally worth it!
We loved our glacier tour! We had amazing guides. Only thing is that it was too short of a time on the glacier. And, it was extremely crowded!!! Even with the crowds, it was such a neat experience and watching the joy on our son was tot..ally worth it!Read full review
Amazing, a true feat of engineering and what a splendid view! Easy to board buses, guides were informative and amusing. Got to spend as much time as we wanted. Great attraction!
100% Incredible views ... the only way to see Spirit Island besides paddling for 7 hours!

This boat cruise really is the only way in, unless you can paddle for seven hours. The lake is 14 miles long. Though you won't be going the full length, you will see Spirit Island both from the boat and from land. they dock for about 15 min..utes so that you can walk up to the famous Spirit Island viewpoint.
If you are driving from Jasper, give yourself plenty of time, as the service road to the boathouse is long and on busy days the going can be slow due to traffic.
The only thing I would change is the check-in process ... at the dock they are currently only accepting Pursuit vouchers with the bar code and departure time. If you don't have this you need to check-in up by the gift shop.
This is creating some confusion during boarding,Read full review
Took this tour since Banff is on my buckle list. The Canadian version of Yosemite. I thought about driving there myself, but as a single lady, was glad I signed up for the tour. I am glad I signed up for seating in the first 3 rows which is.. extra, but as the rest stops which were about every 2 hours, I had the advantage of using the bathroom with hardly any wait time, along with lining up for meals. I would recommend also taking the meal plan which were usually buffet so you always had a good selection. Plus, as a group, you were advanced through the sites, without waiting to purchase a ticket in a line. Hotels were clean and safe. Tour guide was very professional, funny and tolerable of any mishaps... (I was extremely mortified with myself that I was late getting down the gondola, making my group late. And grateful that the group and tour guide were not angry with me. Later on at least 6 people, either got lost or forgot to meet after dinner at the bus. Despite All of these misadventures, the tour guide along with the bus driver were great. The only change I would make is to NOT do the mini day trip, I personally think your better off going down to the Vancouver waterfront and walking around. The mini tour just allowed you to stop for 10 minutes. I rented a bike and went around Stanley Park. (Very inexpensive. The walking and bike path follow the coast line around Stanley Park. It took less than 1 hour with stopping at intervals to take pictures! Walking would have taken 2-3 hours. I felt we had enough time at the majority of the places we stopped at. I would have enjoyed a full day in Banff but felt that we still packed a lot of activities and stops in within a limited time frame. Our tour leader was Marco and our bus driver was Marilyn. You cannot request either as the tour is randomly assigned, but I cannot thank them enough for a GREAT time. Our tour guide would also airdrop any pictures that he had to add to our own pictures! Please, please people remember to tip them graciously (as well as the servers), after all they are providing you a service at a minimum or limited hourly fee.Read full review
Pessimo. Siamo andati fino al lago Maligne, ma non abbiamo potuto fare la crociera. I biglietti non sono stati accettati e ci hanno mandato via. Perdita di tempo enorme. Siamo dovuti tornare a Banff e accontentarci della crociera sul lago M..innewanka, unica possibilità, altro che scelta!!!! Grande presa in giro per tutti coloro che che acquistano il pacchetto. Peraltro i due laghi non hanno paragone. Il lago Maligne è spettacolare. Peccato. Di sicuro Tours4fun ha perso dei clienti.Read full review

Not enough time given for Capilano Bridge area. We were supposed to get lunch AND do other activities. Not possible. Guide was good - articulate, sometimes funny, personable.
