Banff & Icefield Experience from Calgary

5 Days/4 Nights

In the fall of 1883, three Canadian Pacific Railway construction workers stumbled across a cave containing hot springs on the eastern slopes of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. From that humble beginning was born Banff National Park, Canada's first national park and the world's third. Enjoy 4 nights here in Banff and explore the surrounding area. You will see spectacular vistas and ride a unique Ice Explorer while travelling one of the world's most accessible living glaciers. TOUR BIE4

"In May this year my wife and I took a seven day tour from Vancouver through to Calgary. The tour was fantastic and all the tour guides were great but I would like to say that our tour guide from Lake Louise through to Banff was exceptional...she was so knowledgeable and we really liked her attitude."
