Classic Banff Hiking Tour
Canada

The scenery was amazing. The hiking was challenging. The guide was passionate. She could have done a better job of briefing the group about each hike so we could better prepare ourselves. Since there was only one guide, if we thought the planned hike might be too difficult, the only choice was to go or not go on the hike that day. The lunches need to be more varied. Everyday we prepared our own lunch from food bought by the guide. We ate processed deli meat, cheese, wraps, and snacks from COSTCO and potato chips everyday. This became unappealing after several days. Extra water was provided in single use plastic bottles. This is not environmentally friendly. I would have preferred being given a large reusable water bottle with the company logo that could be refilled with water from a large container carried in the van. At the end of the trip the guide sent each couple an email requesting a tip equal to 20% the total cost of the trip. We were all surprised at the amount. If this was the expected amount this should have been shared prior to the trip in a FAQ. Many of us did not have that amount of cash on hand.
