The 6-hour summit tour was awesome! The scene throughout the day was breathtaking and our guide, Katsu, was caring, knowledgeable, and humorous, which made the trip even better. I’d totally recommend to people planning on visiting Banff to put via ferrata into the bucket list.

I can honestly say I tested all the offerings Banff Airporter/Sedan/Charter offer. Due to my own mix up in travel arrangements I was forced to return to the Calgary airport and so I used the Sprinter Jet Class, the Cadillac SUV and the Mercedes 10 seater for our recent trip to Banff from Calgary airport. The reservations team could not have been more helpful. The drivers were awesome. The cars were clean and as advertised.

This was our first escape room challenge and we had a great time. It was our family (including 2 teen boys) and we had so much fun working through the challenges. The hints from the wonderful staff were great too. If we would have had another day in Banff, we likely would have done the other escape room too. We'll have to save it for our next trip!
