This was an amazing experience to see a grizzly bear close up - Boo put on a show for us. The gondola ride and lunch in the Eagle eye restaurant was great. Our guide Bobby was very informative - i would highly recommend.

Brilliant We had a fabulous day. Our tour guide Roz was excellent - gold star deserved. She was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the landscape and the history as well as about bears and other local wildlife, it was interesting and entertaining. We very much enjoyed all the stops and didn’t feel too rushed. The meal at Eagle’s Eye restaurant was fine, choice of beef burgers, chicken burger or a salad. 2 cake type desserts. Was great to see Boo the Grizzly Bear and the warden was knowledgeable. It’s a long day and quite pricey but we felt it was worth it and would recommend.

Cameron was a great guide, so knowledgeable about the area and shared lots of tips and information to make the drive and the stops enjoyable. Offered to take pictures of us at each stop and really welcomed us to Banff! This was our first tour of our vacation and a great way to start the trip. Boo the grizzly Bear was our favorite.
