Jerzy did an excellent job! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the experience fun and exciting. He not only took us to the common tourist sites, but he also took us to so many beautiful places where you don't see a lot of tourists. For example, Bow Lake we stayed at the lodge. What a great experience. The food and service were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Prince of Whales hotel and Waterton. We were there for a week and saw so much. We highly recommend Jerzy. You won't be sorry!!

This was very very special. Was our second trip with Jerzy within 2 days. We covered Banff earlier. Everybody visits and loves Banff but for me Waterton was the highlight of our week. The range of attractions is simply surreal.
Add to that an expert like Jerzy and you cant simply miss this.
This tour was not like other group tours that mainly focus on Waterton town and nearby sights. But guess what we saw? We saw Bisons in a remote area of the park and I cannot explain it in words. It was truly a spiritual experience.
We also visited Red Rock Canyon, Cameron Lake etc. before stopping in the town and spending some in the famous Prince of Wales hotel.
Like always, only 5 stars for Jerzy and his tours.

Walking short trails to the bison park, lakes and waterfalls. The scenery was amazing! Lunch was at a picnic table by the lake. There were frequent stops at points of interest and the guide was flexible. History of the area was also provided. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area.
