The cool pleasant evening was the perfect setting for a lovely covered wagon ride. The staff were kind, informative and engaging. In the short time we had together they seemed like friends rather than guides by the end of the evening. Although dinner was good don’t expect a 4 star gourmet steak dinner. While waiting for the cooks to prepare your steak to order, several activities were available and encouraged. Again the staff instructed and participated as well. Overall lots of fun and definitely well worth the time and money. Our entire group enjoyed it (not really sure if appropriate for young children as scenery intake and conversation were the main activities). Don’t miss this one especially if you are looking for a relaxing way to end your day.

Very relaxing travelling along the river bank. The staff were friendly and informative and the BBQ was excellent - plenty to eat and the steak was superb. We had the opportunity to try lassooing. Although the weather wasn't the best, we were given blankets to keep warm.

Went on a day that was pouring rain. Found staff a bit rude, came for the tour and was treated like intruders. Beautiful scenery. Lunch was okay.

Unfortunately it had rained heavily in Banff before our BBQ but we were lucky we had opted for the Chuck Wagon BBQ as the trail taken by the horse riders was very muddy. The BBQ food was just ok but our guide in the Chuck Wagon was excellent telling us stories about the area during our ride.

I really enjoyed the ride. It was a little late taking off, and we were caught in a major downpour on the way back to the stable. The lunch was very good.

My husband and I rode in the wagon. GUIDE COULD HAVE PROVIDED INFO ON AREA, WILDLIFE ETC. TALKED TO ONE PASSENEGER ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ABOUT HERSELF. It was very uncomfortable. we were prepared for the flies from a pevious review. Our grandaughter rode the horse. most of ride was on gravel. Dinner was edible - not really good. Meat overcooked. Was REALLY not worth the price.
