The trip fulfilled the one glaring omission we had on our two and a half week “Across Canada” holiday. Our fellow tourists were extremely envious when we showed them some marvellous photos the following day. A few of them were engineers and would have given their “eye tooth” to have seen the Ice Explorer. Our group did not visit Peyto Lake, which was the most beautiful of all the lakes we came across on our trip. But above all, the trip was made so enjoyable because of our guide, he was absolutely brilliant and undoubtedly the best of all the tour guides we encountered on our holiday. The range of knowledge he possessed was incredible and he delivered it in an interesting way. Thanks again for providing us with one of the highlights of a wonderful holiday in a wonderful country.
