4 day tour of Banff, Columbia Icefield and Jasper
Our guide Kan was excellent , he is a very careful driver and followed speed limits and provided information on where we were going everyday and we had enough time for all the sights we visited . i have one complaint , our hotel in jasper Athabasca Hotel, though very central did not have air condition in the room and bec it was a very old hotel , only had 2 plugs behind the side table , we had to remove the plug on our clock and phone to use the outlets . The room was clean though it came with antique furnitures in a very small room, perhaps you should try to get a bigger room for their guests at this hotel, we opened our windows to cool the room but this would not be possible in the summer
