“I have been looking at this trip for 2 years and read through just about all of the material published online. Yours was by far the most comprehensive. We needed to shorten our trip to 5 days but found your guide equally helpful, and the information you and Dan provided helped us narrow down the places we wanted to visit. With so much to see, we really did not know where to start or how to organize our stops along the way.
Our trip was perfect and easy to plan with your help. Working with you helped us determine the best hikes for our ability levels and interests, and it also helped us travel from place to place without a lot of wasted time backtracking. It would have been much more difficult to do this on our own – your itinerary and written information made it so easy. You went beyond just the written information. Every time I had a question you answered it promptly and were very helpful. Special thanks for all you did to make our trip so wonderful.”
– Pat (7 Day Banff & Jasper Itinerary Purchase)
