The ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE to the Town of Banff 🍁

Thank you for watching the ULTIMATE TRAVEL GUIDE to the beautiful town of Banff, Canada. This video explores - in great detail - how to get here, how to get around, where to stay, where to eat and what there is to do in one of the most beautiful alpine towns in the world. This video is thorough and the result of my more than 45 years of visiting the park and working for more than a decade in the tourism industry in Alberta. I have a deep and abiding love for Banff National Park and this town, and I hope you can experience some of what I enjoy.
