Review by:   Gregory B,    August 2017 3 star review of Columbia Icefield Tour including the Glacier Skywalk from Jasper - worth doing.
This started out as the best sight seeing tour ever. FIVE Stars! The bus was new and the driver/guide was excellent. We stopped at many beautiful vistas for picture taking. They even provided a souvenir drink mug during a snack and coffee break. Several times we were told we were to have a hot buffet lunch. And, after such a nice roadside snack our expectations were indeed high. But, the lunch was horrible lukewarm and a strange mix - no need to give further description. That was it. The rest of the tour went on to see Banff I think and the remaining tourists that had only signed up for the Columbia Icefield and Glacier Skywalk were sent to wait for an hour to return to pick up points. When they came for us, we were cramped into an employee shuttle van that made economy class air travel look luxurious. Myself, I would have preferred a cold sandwich with a hot cup of coffee for lunch. And, they must have had some mix up sending a van to pick us up. I mean, Really - they can't afford a decent shuttle bus to take us back to our destinations?

This is an excellent tour for me and Dad. Pick up bus was exactly on time, wild life sightings were great that day bear, deer, elk, guide/driver Dustin was outstanding excellent speaking voice and presentation pace, very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, and a very good driver as well, food for lunch was reasonably good, destinations were great Athabasca Falls, Skywalk, and Athabasca Glacier and we were fortunate to have good weather. Tour order was changed to visit the Glacier last after the Skywalk and lunch, and I felt that was a blessing to save the best for last. Very happy and I highly recommend this tour.
 

Review by:   lotus,    July 2017 2 star review of Columbia Icefield Tour including the Glacier Skywalk from Jasper - ok, could have been better.
This trip could have been good had Viator spelled out exactly what this 5.5 hour round trip tour really was. I expected to be dropped back at my hotel appx 5.5 hours later. My group did not get back for 8 hours after being dumped at the lunch spot and told to wait for a shuttle back to Jasper. It ruined our plans for dinner and thus caused our party of 4 a loss. The shuttle back was a filthy mini-van. Read the other 3 star and less reviews and if you plan to do this tour from Jasper back to Jasper, my advice is rent a car and do it yourself. Viator use Brewster who seem to have a lock on this as they also provide the actual Columbia Icefield Tour. Our tour was disorganized and our timings were not good. The driver we had should have told us more about what we were seeing than his personal history, but alas. The lunch at the Icefield was poor - buffet with most dishes almost empty or empty. Items were not replenished quickly and the food was not identified. This food was a waste of money with most items being of a poor quality Chinese food. The two stars are for the sheer beauty of this region. Our day was destroyed because of the laboriosly long day due to Brewster causing us hardship and lost reservations.

Even though we couldn and #39;t see the iced field because of the weather, the views are amazing and very interesting.

This was a wonderful experience although the pictures posted by Viator advertising the tour are somewhat misleading. The ice fields are very crowded and not nearly as pristine as advertised.

interesting journey out with a knowledgeable and helpful driver, good organisation at the icefields less pleased with uncomfortable ride back to Jasper in packed mini-coach.
 

Review by:   Nicholas W,    August 2016 3 star review of Columbia Icefield Tour including the Glacier Skywalk from Jasper - worth doing.
Rather crowded at the Glacier/Icefield and delay in return trip due to Brewster 'scheduling' problems, did not help one's positive frame of mind. But the initial Brewster bus driver was excellent and everything was fine until the scheduling problem involving the return of a number of customers to Jasper in a different vehicle somewhat spoilt the day.

Dustin was the best, lots of info with added humor. Nice to see the sites and not have to drive. Price very reasonable, will recommend this company

This was a fabulous day.. The Brewster team of Patrick O'Connell and Alberto were terrific. The trip was seamless and the information they provided excellent. We got to see it all the falls, the skywalk and the ice field in comfort, with sufficient time to enjoy everything. We even had a decent hot lunch. I rate it and them highly

The tour was great at the start. We were in a beautiful nice bus, the guide was awesome. After the icefields and the skywalk we were put into a not so nice bumpy van without a tour guide. The 90 minute ride back to the hotel in silence was not fun.

It was an amazing tour - even though I wasn't so lucky with the weather - The guide was very nice and competent. For me, it was a great opportunity to see the countryside, get around easily, and learn a lot about the area. Many thanks for enriching my Canada experiences!
 

Review by:   Janette F,    September 2015 4 star review of Columbia Icefield Tour including the Glacier Skywalk from Jasper - recommended.
I loved this trip. We had a great day and the weather was beautiful. The stop at Athabasca Falls was really special, then to go out on the Columbia Icefield on the arctic tractor was fun. What an Experience! The skywalk was a wonderful way to feel part of the environment. Then it snowed.... As an Australian, the snow experience was an added extra._br/_ Great day

Good trip. Tour guide Alistair was excellent. Felt that we could have spent more time on the actual Icefield as we only had around 15-20 minutes on the ice. The rest of the trip was spent either on the bus, the Visitor Centre or the Skywalk.

This was awesome! The bus driver was very knowledgeable about the area and history, it was very organized and we didn't feel rushed at all. Both the ice fields and the skywalk we great as well. We would highly recommend it
 

Review by:   Desmond H,    July 2015 3 star review of Columbia Icefield Tour including the Glacier Skywalk from Jasper - worth doing.
The tour itself was great, but we wish there was more time for pictures and viewing. They stopped at a few spots along the highway for pictures and it didn't give enough time to enjoy the scenery. Travelling with 2 smaller kids made it feel a little rushed at times. There was definitely not enough time at the skywalk to split up as we had 1 little one sleeping on the bus and could not leave her. So by the time one got back to switch there wasn't enough time for the other person to go and we rushed through quick, not enjoying the view. Next time we go, we'll be doing that one privately so we can take our time and enjoy it more. Our bus driver for the tour and the snow coach were both great and very friendly.
