Spectacular Banff Day - Gondola Included
Overview
This experience is about 10-11 hours long and will include plenty of time for you to complete a bucket list of things to do during your mountain day.
From the minute you step into the vehicle you'll feel the welcoming Alberta vibe! If you're here for a day or are trying to kick off your Banff vacation out of the park, and don't want to be in a big crowded bus, this unscripted adventure is for you!
There will be plenty of time to take photos, eat, shop, get your feet wet and maybe even swim!
You will cover the main attraction sites such as Lake Louise, the Banff Gondola, Banff Avenue downtown, and Canmore for a quick break.
