Robert & Anne Mackenzie

We have travelled extensively but the Icefields Parkway in September still stopped us in our tracks at every viewpoint. GDtours' ground arrangements in the Rockies were outstanding — our private driver knew exactly when to pull over for wildlife and which trails to take for the best light. Fairmont Banff Springs is a real gem.
