Banff friendly sincere welcome Seats comfortable throughout , roomy, clean, Shaun clearly understood and explained fully and perfectly. Phenomenal trip visiting superb points of interest, ice trip en route as organised. Fantastic tour guide/ driver. Full of enthusiasm, care, ensuring all passengers understood and any needs were taken into consideration. Could not have booked a better trip to cover so many miles to our destination, with so many exceptional views, places of interest, full clear explanation and questions answered.

With Jasper having announced the reopening of hotels and VIA Rail now stopping, I was able to reschedule my stay there once I had arranged transport from Banff. The damage to the Jasper back in July was a huge challenge and many travellers had to replan or reschedule. I originally had booked a competitor's one way road tour from Banff but they continued not to run. However Sundog came to the rescue and I am so delighted I went ahead.
Pickup was outside my hotel Inn Banff and straight away our driver greeted me. Sean (or Shawn....) was absolutely brilliant. Lively, detailed knowledge of the entire route and made me feel along with the other 12 on board it was our trip. The tour included no end of stops including Lake Louise, other roadside photos stops plus a good amount of time at the Columbia Icefields. Once Sean had got us on to our booked 'slot' we were handed over to the team there to transport us in their vehicles to the Athabasca Glacier then the Skywalk. After that we continued north for a few more stops including the Athabasca Fals which had only reopened a few days before. Sean handled the inevitable sad part of the tour passing by so much forest alongside the north section of N93 Icefields Parkway really professionally. Our drop offs at the various hotels in Jasper were all carried out ending a really full, informed day along one of the most scenic stretches of road in the world.
Oh and lunch prepared by a caterer was really good and filling. There were stops to get coffee etc along the way. The bus was great although heating was a slight issue that certainly didn't ruin it.
So if you plan to transport yourself between Banff and Jasper without a car I would thoroughly recommend Sundog. Just one day of my 7 week trip overland trip right across Canada, this really was a highlight.

Norm was our tour guide for the day, and he was an amazing guide for our trip, he had many educational and personal stories that enhanced the experience.
He is an excellent driver who shows care towards all who ride his bus.
We would highly recommend this tour based on our day spent with Norm and Sundog Tours
