The journey Begins

Banff National Park, Lakes and Gondola

This morning, you will be picked up from a central downtown Calgary location and begin your adventure into the majestic Canadian Rockies, heading to Banff National Park. First, we drive through the scenic town of Canmore to our first stop at iconic Moraine Lake, then continue to Lake Louise. Lake Louise, located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, is known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake ringed by high peaks. See the famous picturesque lake and Chateau Lake Louise that overlooks it. Enjoy time to walk around the lakeshore and a bite to eat in the Village of Lake Louise before we head to the town of Banff. Banff is at the center of Canada's first National Park, nestled high in the Canadian Rockies. Once "Siding 29" on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the town was intended to be a tourist town from its inception. The Park's first superintendent, George Stewart, even oriented the town's first street to offer the best possible view of Cascade Mountain. With easy access to pristine wilderness, outdoor adventures, jaw-dropping landscapes, and vibrant history, there are many places to visit. Upon arrival, enjoy a sightseeing tour of Banff, including Bow Falls, the Hoodoos, Cascade Garden, the Trading Post, and the famous Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Next, experience the Banff Gondola as you sit back, relax, and marvel at the unsurpassed view of Banff, the Bow Valley, and a 360-degree view of six scenic mountain ranges from 2,281m (7,486 ft) above sea level. Dinner will be served at the mountain-top restaurant for a dining experience high above Banff.

After dreaming about travel to an exciting destination, arranging for time off work, booking your flights the last thing you need is for your trip to be cancelled. Anderson vacation's pre-Guaranteed tours take the uncertainty away from planning your travel and give you peace of mind to book our tours.

All 'Guaranteed Tours' will travel except in the event of a natural disaster or a catastrophic event that is beyond our control.

We pride ourselves on providing “a small shared group experience.” In the event that we have fewer than ten participants on a tour we will offer a “small-group surcharge” to ensure that the tour runs as scheduled. This fee, which is up to 15% of the “land” portion of the tour, will be offered to you as an option to continue with the trip. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling a smaller group.

Our tours are suitable for all age demographics. The average age of travelers is typically 45+.
