Pick up at our hotel made it convenient. The drive to the glacier was packed full of knowledge and fun. Jersey was fun and knowledgeable. He stopped along the way to site see and was accommodating to our needs.

I did a tour with Jerzy back in 2022 with my partner whilst on holiday and he was absolutely amazing, he must have made an impact as we actually moved to Canada ourselves this year! My parents came to visit this month and I knew booking a tour with Jerzy would be the best way to see everything, Jerzy was amazing again as expected. The tour fit us all perfectly, my dad was able to learn about the history of the rockies and we were all able to see some incredible places that we would never have found ourselves. The tour is always catered to the groups abilities and Jerzy makes you feel very comfortable! Overall don't hesitate and book in with him, you won't regret it!

From the warm greeting we received I knew we were in for a good day. We just had no idea actually how good it was going to be.
Jerzy had genuinely put so much thought into how we could experience the best that the Rockies had to offer. From spectacular views to finding quiet tranquility in areas that were otherwise busy.
His stories were spell binding & I only wish he had written a book with them all in as I’d have ordered it online whilst in the car.
His passion for the First Nation people was palpable. He must continue to tell their story.
The nature around us was immersive. I would highly recommend a day if not more with Jerzy. An absolute gentleman who looked after us all extremely well.
