“Exceptional Tour with Kaya! My experience with Discover Banff was truly unforgettable, and a lot of that is thanks to our extraordinary guide, Kaya. Her vast knowledge about glaciers and the stunning natural landscapes of Banff made the tour incredibly engaging. She took us through some of the most wondrous places in the area, providing fascinating insights along the way. One of the highlights was spotting black bears in the wild! Kaya not only made the experience safe and enjoyable, but she also took the time to educate us on the differences between black bears and grizzly bears, which was both fascinating and reassuring. Overall, I highly recommend Discover Banff…”
