A good experience overall for 5 day trip (Calgary, Banff, Jasper). The website describes well the fees to pay. There is no hidden cost. Please make sure to have the exact change to pay the tour guide daily fee to facilitate their job. They ..collect daily and it’s not a total sum at the end since the tour guide could be different each day. We bought the economical package, but had to go back to Calgary (we were aware) and arrive pretty late in the evening. I recommend you pay a little more to stay either in Banff, Lake Louise hotel at night instead of going back to Calgary to avoid the 90 minute trip back between Banff and Calgary. I was expecting a very noisy people tour, but luckily our group(s) of travellers were « civilized » and respected the time limits for each tour spot. I find the staff very respectful and courteous. When we arrived at the Calgary airport, we waited forTours4fun chauffeur to pick up us, but we waited at the wrong door and someone from their office called us at 5 minutes before pickup and guided us to the right door. Our tour guides were good especially Jesse Wong who has a good voice, smiley, very clear instructions in both English, Mandarin and Cantonese... a people’s person. I recommendTours4fun.Read full review

I sincerely recommend travelers who want to travel to Canada to choose Happy Travel to save money. Lots of time to enjoy the journey!Read full review
The tour took us to some of the most stunning winter destinations in the Rockies. I especially loved Emerald Lake and Yoho Park, where the scenery was simply breathtaking. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the overall grea..t experience. The accommodations were comfortable, and the transportation was seamless.Read full review
David is an amazing guide, he even drive back to my hotel to return my scarf left in the car, we would love to have him as our guide again for other tour
This tour was near the end of the season. There weren't many of us on this day trip (may be 9). We travelled in a cramped 16 seater (not a typical 2x2 layout) which had barely any leg room. Luckily I was able to move to a better seat to str..etch my legs. The tour was as described with the exception that we only got 2.75hrs at the icefield rather than 3.5. So what could have been better?
Well, as we arrived the trip to the transfer to the glacier was in 15mins. This meant no time to do anything other than use the washroom. On our return we immediately got on to another bus to travel to the skywalk. The gap should have increased to give guests a chance to get a light lunch at the centre. Once the skywalk was over we travelled back to Calgary. Again, no chance to grab a light bite or visit the displays at the centre. The host was eager to get going and would only allow us to use the washroom. I am fortunate that I am bilingual so can understand the host but someone who only understood english would possibly struggle on this occasion.Read full review
The driver picked us up on time was very pleasant and more important was very knowledgeable about Vancouver and answered any questions.We all had a great day.
The tour was pretty good and the sights were really beautiful. The sight seeing portion was very well managed. We only missed peyto lake as the road was shut down. Our guide, Jesse was very good and managed our group well. The weather on ou..r third day was a bit of a downer with rain and snow but Jesse tried his best to keep us entertained and showed us some additional spots.
The lunches were okay. The first day's lunch was at chateau lake louise and it was very good. The other three days were okay. It is not a good option if you don't eat pork or beef(like me). But enough time was given to the group to be able to find lunch on your own(1-1.5 hours). The Columbia icefield discovery centre restaurant was really crowded. That's the only day on which finding lunch would have been time taking.
My only complaint is the seat allocation in the bus. It would be good if the seat numbers can be assigned beforehand(as it was done on other tours like the Montreal Quebec tour) Otherwise people were scrambling about the bus putting their stuff on the seats to reserve the seats for their group and there were people who took up two seats by themselves; which meant people like me who aren't good at rushing into the bus and reserving the seat had to sit away from my group.Read full review

It could have been nicer on our 3rd or 4th day if we have stayed in Banff, It was a waste of time traveling back to Calgary for 1.5 - 1.45 minutes a day before and after before we gets to our destination. I feel like we spend so much time ..riding in the bus.Read full review
