    Richard our guide made the trip- he was so fabulous and the reason it was so great was because of his passion and positivity. I love that Intrepid supports sustainable tourism which is a reason why I love it also.. my husband and I only had limited time to Travel and this trip ensured we saw the very main things we wanted to explore and we don’t feel like we missed out on anything. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that the accommodation in Jasper and Bannf were VERY far out of town- which wasn’t really communicated with us prior to the trip and considering we were only in those areas for a few nights it really wasn’t ideal being that far away.. that was the only negative though- I cannot fault the destinations and the guide- Rich was incredible
