We did a private day tour for my family of five, and it exceeded our expectations. The SUV was clean and comfortable, the timing was perfect, and our guide helped us take beautiful family photos at every stop. We covered so many places in one day that would be impossible on our own. Excellent value for money.

We joined the sunrise shuttle for Moraine Lake and were blown away. Our guide got us to the lake before the crowds and even helped us find the perfect sunrise viewpoint. The hot drink was a nice surprise. This was the highlight of our entire Canada trip — I’d book with Vista Chase again without hesitation.
