There wasn’t any . You were supposed to take a ride around the park and instead drove in circles in their field.

Horrible customer service

MCee

We drove a total of 4 hours round trip, only for them to cancel our booking once we arrived at their office. Our kids were very disappointed. If they needed to cancel, they should have cancelled first thing in the morning and not wait to cancel after customers have made the long drive out there in the afternoon. What a total waste of money and time. They also refused to provide any compensation. I definitely would not recommend them.

Response from Host , Feb 2021

Hello MC K., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your sleigh ride booking. Unfortunately there were severe wind gusts in Banff on Sunday, which began much earlier in the day than anticipated. We weren't able to proceed with sleigh rides that afternoon as it had quickly became unsafe for them to run, and unfortunately had to immediately cancel all rides to ensure guest safety. We reached out to all affected guests as soon as the weather changed, however we understand the disappointment this must have caused. Guest safety is our number one priority, and sadly in this instance we weren't able to deliver your experience due to events outside of our control. A full refund has been issued for your booking, and if you would reconsider booking with us again then please contact our reservations team directly on 1-800-661-8352 with your booking reference and we would be pleased to offer you a 50% discount on your booking.

A perfect afternoon. Our driver was very friendly and his stories entertained us. The venue added nice touches like marshmallows to roast on the fire and hot chocolate inside to warm up. Highly recommend.

This was part of a 70th birthday gift for my mom. We were looking for something involving the mountains but not strenuous. She absolutely loved it and so did my siblings and I. (All over 30) The guide was great and the view was breathtaking. We learned so much about the wildlife and of course the horses were beautiful. Overall an amazing experience. It was chilly but we were very bundled up and the blankets added extra warmth.

Im glad you could share your moms birthday with us and that the family had a great time

Very knowledge tour guide and driver. We learned a lot of history of the national park and its wild life. Recommend to people who may enjoy learning the history and local wildlife. Not highly recommend for children the ride is semi-fun, as it went through a small area in circle. Good picture opp with the sleigh before and after the tour.

We were so fortunate to have the sleigh ride because there had been a big fall of snow that night to make it possible. we had the private sleigh ride for 2 Kate was our driver and Bart was the engine both were fantastic, Kate was knowledgeable if we asked a question otherwise respected our personal space. beautiful backdrop of the mountains and historical buildings on the property, just a wonderful experience offered by real genuine people. On our deal you get choccies and champers, it was cold enough we probably would have preferred mulled wine hahahah!! Thanks for the experience folks
