    We visited Banff last year and stayed in Canmore. I agree that It's a great option that's cheaper than Banff. Great tips, makes us want to return. We're from UK so the videos are really helpful.
  • @kfox24
    This is gold! I'm visiting Banff this May and will definitely use these tips. I love how informative and authentic you two are, and I look forward to checking out more of your videos!

    Go to the Main Mall and head down to the food court. Saves you money.
  • I'm so happy, your content helped me plan my 2023 Yellowstone Trip. I got on YouTube today to start my 2024 Canada trip and seen you posted content. I felt right at home! Thank you!
  • @redleveler2431
    Thanks for the tips - would you be able to provide the link for the list of happy hour restaurants as mentioned in the please?
  • @paulasmith5954
    Bus on the glacier or hike it? I feel like hiking would be a better experience. ??
  • @overwatchxrescue
    If you really want to save money, Cochrane or even Calgary can be more affordable even than Canmore...although it's definitely a bit of a drive!
  • @cmkoerner623
    Do you know if most places in Banff take an American debit card? I donā€™t currently have a credit card. Will I need to get one?
