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.

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 great time was had

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.

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.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
