    Great tour
    Because we went in winter it was quiet and we ended up with just the two of us and our guide (Lutz - who was very friendly and knowledgeable). We saw elk, sheep and a moose and her calf crossing the lake. The scenery was amazing and we were very lucky to see lots of wildlife. We also learnt about the fire and how Jasper will recover.

    Fantastic tour
    Our tour guide was great and told us a lot about Jasper on the way to Maligne lake and back. We even saw a moose and her calf on the road. We snowshoed on the lake itself which was amazing and the scenery was fantastic. We are not the fittest but the pace was just right for us and it was flat.

    Sundog were awesome!
    In Lake Louise my daughter left her walking boots on the bus. We were about to head off to Banff for a couple of days when we realized but no worries as Sundog arranged to have them delivered to our hotel in Banff. That’s just service above and beyond as far as I am concerned and I can’t thank them enough.

    Bus unloaded guests by mountain goats.
    I didn't mean to join this tour--I was a motorist on Hwy 16. I noticed their big black bus unloading it's group in front of the goats, on the highway and just steps away from them. It seemed really unsafe and surprising. I hope this is an isolated incident and the company doesn't encourage this kind of thing in their guides!

    Jasper Canada’s wonder of the world
    The beauty of this part cannot be explained in words. It can only be experienced with eyes, animals all around you beautiful, towering mountains, and glaciers.. we went on a boat cruise to the secret island on Mula Lake(may have spelt that wrong sorry) camping there is so luxurious. If you have an RV, lots of plug-ins fire pits, the staff comes from all over the world to work there we met a lot of people from New Zealand and Australia., we are viewed all the way through and we can’t wait to do it again

    SunDog delivers... ask for Norm or Mo!
    Thank you, Kelly-Anne, for transporting us. Roundtrip we had 2 different drivers, Mo and Norm. Great drivers, handled heavy snow, stops for bathroom breaks, and yes, even the needed Starbucks. This company survived the wild fires, and I was so happy my family got the opportunity to help out in a very small way. That said, extremely skilled, competent and focused drivers. Would book them every time.

    Fun in the snow
    Great experience canyon walking. The weather was a little warm which affected the route we were able to take but the guides ensured they placed the safety of the group first. The track may have Bern a little different to what was expected but they ensured we had a fun time. Friendly and inclusive

    Excellent tour with enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide
    We took the "Wildlife of Jasper and the ecology of fire" tour. This was a brilliant adaptation to the wildlife tour which acknowledged the effect of the fire on the local environment. Our guide, Jeff, was incredibly knowledgeable and spoke with great passion about the local wildlife and environment. We saw animals at several different sites and visited numerous spectacular locations. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or rebook with Sundog in the future

    A morning tour around Jasper with superb views, interesting explanation .
    The tour guide Sean was cheerful, enthusiastic, informative and clearly caring about his passengers,Jasper town, his job, nature, environment and about Sundog. He made the 3-4 hour morning tour a fantastic experience with phenomenal views and well chosen stopping points. Shan the driver tour guide shared his passion with clear explanation, ensuring that he checked in with the needs, requests of his passengers. A respect, appreciation, and regard for the wildlife and the challenges of nature over the years he shared. Was informative and welcomed..The viewpoints and areas around Jasper that he took us to were great choices. Subdog have certainly thought about and compiled great itineraries with options to suit all.

    A brilliant one day tour along the Icefields Parkway
    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.

    SUN DOG TOURS ARE SUPERB!
    We did three tours with three different drivers/guides and each was excellent. Of special note, Norm and Sean are exceptional guides! They are friendly, intelligent, insightful, and inspiring. Norm is among the planet’s best storytellers. Philosophical. Uplifting. Engaging. So very kind. Sean is an absolute joy! So friendly and so kind. And truly humble and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend these people of Sun Dog Tours!

    Thanks for the tour
    Sean was a brilliant guide, and what a character, great knowledge and chatted all the way about the country’s history, scenery, and wildlife. He rolled by very slowly to let us see a grizzly and her 2 cubs, and a huge cinnamon bear, and a male moose. We stopped to see an osprey nest, which was massive. Bus was really comfy, and I would highly recommend using sundogs tours

    Great sightseeing
    We went on 4 trips with SunDog Tours in the Banff/Lake Louise area. The trips were booked for us by a travel company. We had 3 different driver/tour guides (Garret, Daniel, and Norm), all of whom were excellent. Each one had thorough knowledge of the natural area, was willing to answer our questions, and shared personal stories relevant to the tour. At the same time, each one brough his own personality and style to the tour, making each trip special.

We were able to visit Jasper soon after the Town was welcoming back visitors post the recent wildfires. We had Ben drive us from Lake Louise and again to Banff. We also had Kevin take us on his new tour of the town and surrounds. Both guides were passionate Jasper-ites with intimate knowledge of the area. Their narratives helped make our trip.
Their before and after observations came from the heart, providing another dimension to our experience.
Being locals we also bumped into locals. They were gracious, welcoming and happy to share some time. 🙏
Thanks Sundog and Jasper. An amazing experience.

This is a bit of a tricky one to review.We woke up in Jasper on the 19th June with icy streets and snow covering cars.We were picked up for our trip to Lake Loiuse.We stopped at Athabasca Falls which by now was a winter wonderland.Thick snow everywhere and the ground covered in ice,freezing cold.Managed to get some nice photos.As an Aussie this weather was a bit of a novelty.Well the conditions got much worse.We ended up being stranded half way up the first pass for 1 and 1/2 hours.There were cars in ditches,horrendous conditions.Never seen so much snow and sleet in my life.(You can get some idea from the photos I uploaded what the weather was like)Eventually we got moving and at our accomadation around 4.30pm.The skywalk and Columbia icepack were cancelled of course.(You couldn't even see the skywalk when we drove past)I was so dissapointed to have missed these two activities but I understand it was no one's fault,you cannot help the weather.We had some really delicious sandwiches and snacks on the bus so no one went hungry or thirsty.I have since done the skywalk and icefields and had perfect weather so very happy about that.I guess the main object of my review is to praise the bus driver,I forget his name but he was wonderful.He kept everyone's spirits up and got us to our destination safely.(At one time we thought we may have to turn back)I just wish I remembered his name.I know the Sundog bus he drove did not have a wash room on it if that helps identify him,the other sundog bus did.I just hope you appreciate what a great employee you.Thank you

Jasper to Banff or Banff to Jasper Tour with Brewster Sightseeing
849401339
We took the Jasper to Banff tour with Brewster Sightseeing. This is a must-do tour if you ever are in the area. Our driver/guide Mike provided the tour of a lifetime. It was the most entertaining, enlightening, educational, and just plain fun tour we've ever taken. And we've taken a lot of tours around the world. Mike's knowledge of this area was amazing. I learned more about this area than I ever could have imagined, and painlessly at that. Not only was his knowledge so great, but he was also the best bus tour driver we've ever had. No jerks, no sudden turns, just a very smooth drive. And I'm sure his company will appreciate the care he gives their vehicles, a sure sign that he wants his guests to have a pleasant trip. He cleaned somewhere at several of the longer stops. Oh, I almost forgot, the scenery along this stretch of road is stunning. Mike said it was rated as one of the top ten tours by National Geographic and I can see why. His partner, Denver, helped us get where we needed to go quickly and efficiently, giving us more time to see the areas we were visiting than we otherwise would have had. All-in-all, this was the best tour we've ever had, thanks to these two individuals. Thanks Mike and Denver for such a wonderful tour.

Dave was our guide for a full day transfer from Jasper to Lake Louise. He provided commentary during part of the transfer, giving us some history on the area. We knew during the transfer we would stop at the Columbia Icefields to walk on the glacier and walk on the Skywalk (which took about 4 hours). However, Dave also stopped at Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls (since we were a small group and we had expressed an interest in seeing them), Tangle Creek Falls, and Peyto Lake. Overall, an excellent transfer day.

Wonderful experience. Scenery is simply one of the world's best. We had a tour from Jasper to Banff with Brewster's Tours with the exceptional team of Colin and Rob (who graciously let of kids tell a few jokes over the mic). The team stopped for wildlife and had great narration of what we were seeing. Thanks guys.

Absolutely fantastic - so much more than anticipated.
Warren was our driver and he was knowledgeable about every aspect of the mountains, geology, history..... And the long stopover at the Ice Fields was incredible and totally unexpected. I can't imagine a better way to get from Jasper to Banff! And an added bonus was that we were dropped off in front of our hotel. Extremely recommended!

Nothing prepared us for the beautiful sights along Icefields Parkway from Jasper to Banff. What brought this experience together was our guide Norm’s personality and storytelling. That was about 10 hours of drive and I can’t think of a boring moment. The short walks, photo spots, timing— I never expected at all that this one-way tour would be one of the best experiences I’ve had to date.

There were only three of us that made the trip but that just meant Dave could customise the trip to our interests and pace.
We received an great commentary on how the area we were travelling through was formed and all the interesting sights were pointed out and explained.
We had heaps of interesting stops and great photo opportunities including a walk on the Athabasca glacier.
Can't say enough good things about our driver Dave and how great the trip was.
Oh yes, we also saw a mama bear and her two cubs, bonus!
