This trip was fully paid for by ourselves, we weren't given any press discounts or freebies for flights, any accommodation, car hire, anything. I have a few gifted items of clothing but, as always, they will be clearly marked below with "(AD - Gifted)".
TRAVEL DETAILS (full itinerary, tips & FAQ's will all be in the final video):
Flights booked with BA from London Heathrow flying into Calgary (Premium Economy)
Car also booked via BA with Budget Car Hire (We upgraded our car to the Jeep when we arrived)
💚We used carbonoffset.com to offset our milage for hiring such a large gas guzzling car, this is the same site we use to offset our flights and other travel too.💚
ALL THE LINKS:
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (We booked direct and said "yes" to being in "the club" which basically gets you added extras and discounts on future booking with any Fairmont hotels) bit.ly/2nTsH7B (A 1hr canoeing voucher was included in booking)
We did get a complimentary room upgrade because it was our Wedding anniversary but Simon paid extra for the flower petals and sweet treats which he arranged a few weeks before.
Book your National Park passes here in advance: bit.ly/2mm6P47 (park passes are per person not per vehicle)
Our Collapsible Coffee Cups bit.ly/2lPeA2f & bit.ly/2nnvYvw (It's a good idea to take a re-usable water bottle in your suitcase as well for hikes, you don't want to drop any litter where the animals live 😥)

Good Morning everyone! We've been so excited to share these videos with you all so we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoyed filming them.
Just a few notes: We are already back home, so some of the things we 'can't find' in this vlog or haven't come across you will see in the next few vlogs, this is only the first of 3. And with regards to to animals/wildlife, this wasn't our first rodeo folks so we know that Bears and other wild animals are very dangerous but all we've ever wanted is to see a Bear in the wild...from a safe distance! We did not want to sit and have a cuddle with one on a hiking trail 🙈 We know and would like to pass on the information and law that you should not touch any wild animals, not feed them AT ALL (this is a very important one) and respect that you are in their home ❤️
I always feel little bit sad when my favorite vloggers feel necessity to explain their every joke and conduct.
PS: I am glad you enjoyed your trip. Canada is one of my favorite countries to visit.
PS:PS: Simon is real "city" boy , he could easily make to magazine cover ❤️
Amen to that! ❤👍
I am fortunate to live in Canada and have traveled both west and east, and have seen deer, bears and moose in the wild. It's a marvel to witness that never gets old ❤🇨🇦❤
Now this is what I call great entertainment! Stunning scenery, hilarious banter, yummy food, two lovely people enjoying life. Can’t wait for the next two instalments!
Smiled the whole time watching this, you two are just so lovely! Can’t wait for more Canada videos 😆
Yyyaaasss!!!! That’s my home!!! We never get sick of it, we go all the time, can’t get tired of it. So majestic! Love that you were here! ❤️
I hope Simon got an off camera kiss for sorting out that beautiful hotel room 😂
I remember last year you were in Paris with Debs and he sent you flowers, such a sweetheart ❤️
Did you see her face when Simon said "where's my present"....funny asf!
🙈😂 He knows I love him 😍
@@EmmaHill 😊aw!!!
I was laughing and a bit tearful as I watched this video; which by the way was beautifully filmed & edited. It has been some years since I visited Lake Louise and stayed at the Fairmont; watching this brought back all those wonderful memories. As a proud 🇨🇦I like to see the incredible beauty of my own country.
"Let's look at the lake...cause I didn't get you a gift." 😂
🙈
hahaha hilarious as usual. ❤️
... so sweet you guys. I remember last year you and Debs were in Paris and Simon had red roses delivered to the hotel when you checked into you room. You forgot too ... I think you need to put in a reminder for next year - surprise him ❤️
I have never been more envious of a trip in my entire life. The whole vlog looks truly glorious.
Look at the beautiful scenery, wow! You guys just missed a big snow storm, lol. Good timing! Thanks for taking us with you!
Being from Cslgary we never get sick of looking at or going to the mountains to enjoy what they have to offer. I hope you don't run into a bear while hiking as that is horrendously dangerous. They are never in the mood to "meet" people. Banff is the best place to get Bear Claws and Beaver Tails. If you get a chance stop by Emerald Lake as it is the most beautiful colour. Congratulations on you 4th anniversary. Enjoy the mountains and most of all stay warm and safe.
So glad to see you and Simon here in Canada. I enjoyed how excited you were about the food. Thanks for the wonderful footage.
Did Simon really go hiking around in the wild in his Guccis? Dem Simon ....... you boujeeeeee 😂
Ana Luis I thought the exact same!! But then again we all know how determined is Simon in making a fashion statement 🤣😜😍
Fashion first 🤣
😆😆😆😆
💖 I really loved your walk along the lake. The water was beautiful and the forest and mountains were gorgeous. Looking forward to video #2!
Banff is one of my all time favorite places I have traveled to. It is breathtaking. It looks like you guys had an amazing trip.
Lovely video, stunning scenery. Great that you show us the place you are visiting and its not all about what you're wearing. Keep up the good work xx
How fabulous! Happy 4th Anniversary, Emma and Simon!!! 💕
What an amazingly beautiful place, I've never seen water so turquoise. The quality of your travelogue is wonderful.
Love Fairmont Hotels. Our go to when visiting Toronto. Lake Louise is on our to visit list. Love this country of ours. So glad you enjoyed yourself. And yes, when in the mountains out west you need warm woollies, here in Ontario I am in shorts and t shirt and it’s Oct. 1 while the prairies are digging out of a major snowstorm. It’s a big country. LOL.
Happy anniversary you two!!! Love the videos!!!
Thank you ❤️
So happy you enjoyed your vacation here in Canada!🇨🇦 I cried laughing at you and your Timbits! 😂
️This was really beautiful! Thanks Emma & Simon ❤️
I love seeing how much you love my country!!!
I somehow lost my door keys this morning whilst walking my dog. We got caught in a massive downpour and it took me an hour to get the spare key from a neighbour. I was feeling rather tearful by this point to be honest. But I’ve dried myself (and the dog), made a cup of tea and I know watching this vlog is going to cheer me right up. 😀
❤️
woo hoo... glad to see Simon repping with his toronto blue jays cap in Canada
The view of that hotel from the canoe is stunning! Thanks for sharing!
Holy smokes that place is huge. Just beautiful. Your jacket looked amazing on u. Happy Anniversary to you both💚🌼🍸
Wonderful video. My husband and I stay at the Chateau Lake Louise when we visited in 2017 and it was magical.
Absolutely stunning! This was an amazing vacation. Beautiful photography and editing. I grew up in the mountains in the northeast U.S. and Bears, Deer, Squirrels, and other wildlife were a daily occurrence. Happy Anniversary to you both! ❤️
As an Alberta girl myself I am so happy you got to experience our beautiful country :)
Oh Emma!!! I'm so excited that you were to Alberta. My daughter lives in Calgary so I know it quite well. It is so beautiful isn't it!!! Canada is beautiful. Now you have to make a trip to Newfoundland sometime on the east coast of Canada. During iceberg season!!!
Happy Anniversary! Beautiful country! Have a wonderful time! Big Hugs!
Wow! Just wow! Beautiful job of filming and editing (as always) but this was amazing. Thanks for taking us along. What a beautiful place! Looking forward to the next videos.
Thank you Connie ❤️
Belated happy 4th Anni.. surely the trip was the prezzie and much better to make memories that will last a lifetime. So glad you enjoyed Lake Louise..brought back wonderful memories of such a beautiful place and country. Looking forward to part 2..
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful stunning scenery, amazing editing and comedy gold as usual. Loved it as much as I knew I would. So sweet of Simon doing the room for you ☺️ The hotel looks absolutely spectacular, it’s like something out of a fairytale. I really hope you guys saw some Bears at some point. We saw some in Yosemite years ago (from a safe distance) but it was pretty special. Looking forward to part 2!
Calgary fan here! Loving that you made a trip here!!
❤️
That water is so blue. I’ve never seen a light blue lake. So beautiful 😍
The colour is from mineral deposits from the Glaciers!
Cheers from Calgary, Alberta!
What a lovely place to visit thank-you for sharing. Great video work how you put it together was so good to watch. My kind of holiday ,looking forward to watching to the next one x
Happy Anniversary! This brought back so many meories of working for Fairmont out there years ago! Bear Claws and Beaver Tails are a touristy thing so you will likely find in Banff, maybe in Jasper! Enjoy!! PS... Dont miss Peyto Lake on your drive!
Enjoy the Jeep Grand Cherokee! Have owned 4 since 2003, love them!
Wow them views amazing beautiful country hope to go to Calgary next year looking forward to next video thanks for bringing us along on your holiday ❤️🇨🇦
Such a beautiful place to spend your anniversary!!!! Can’t wait for more Canada videos!!!
Loved this video! Loved the canoe ride footage when you just had the nature sounds...that was perfect! Thank you both!
Haha loved the excitement over Tims 🍩☕️. I’m a Torontonian, and that’s exactly how I felt when I was in the UK in August and found a Tims in Belfast 🇮🇪 😁.
Ps: You guys missed the horrible snowfall in Calgary which happened on the weekend. Toronto on the other hand feels like July today (Oct 1st)...it’s currently 29 degrees ☀️. You gotta love Canada 🇨🇦
Toronto is my fav city in the whole world, so far
Awe so exciting, looks like your having so much fun❤️
So beautiful! I love how ‘normal’ you both are 👌🏼
Welcome to Canada! 🇨🇦 I’ve been watching & loving your videos for a while and it is so unreal to see you in the country I live in. 😍I hope you and Simon enjoy your trip. Congrats on your anni 🥳
YAAAAAS!!! I’m “liking” this before I even watch it!
OMG .. watched and it’s fab!!! Some serious videography skills happening in this vlog!
Happy you enjoyed it ❤️
Lotally love your page and videos. Keep it up
I live in Calgary! And I love Lakelouise! Great video guys! Thank you for sharing! 👍😍🤗
Little bit late, but WOW!!! Amazing 🙌
Surely you are the gift?!! Loving the incentive of a tea house at the end of the hike!! xxx
😂 If only I could get away with that 😂🙈🙊
Awwww....my honeymoon was at Chateau Lake Louise only there was 3 foot of snow. Went dog sledding and snow mobiling & skiing.. So many memories....it is such a beautiful amazing place. Would love to go back and do those hiking trails.
Wow, I bet that looked stunning, and what memories for a honeymoon ❤️
@@EmmaHill Yes! ❤️❤️❤️
simons hat is on pointe!! and i love how excited you are about everything! Next year come hit ontario, we will take you up to the cottage in Georgian Bay!!
Wow, looks absolutely stunningxxx
I bet you're grateful you're already back from this trip, given that parts of Southern Alberta received up to 100 cm (!!!) of snow over the weekend (Calgary got 30 cm). I was in the Rockies a few weeks ago and feel verrrrry glad to have missed this blizzard!
Yes pleased to have missed the travel chaos, although it would have been beautiful to see, although probably such a pain for the locals coming SO early in the year.
I have family in Canada and have never wanted to go... until this video! I will be booking my trip very soon! That hotel by the lake is beautiful!
Wonderful place, thanks for sharing this beauty !
I can't tell you how much I love when visitors actually get excited by and appreciate our beautiful mountains.
And FYI, Jasper is even better! Not as commercial, and quieter.
p.s. the best time to see wildlife is typically dusk.
I loove you guys! Your vlogs are the best. The video was beautyfully edited (thanks Simon). Now I want to visit Canada, which I've never considered as one of my travel destinations. Much love from Brazil! 😘
Wow gorgeous views and those pastries in Tim Hortons. Can't wait for blog 2 cheers E & S xxx
Really enjoyed this....great shots and so beautiful.👏👏
We did the afternoon tea in the Fairview 2 days ago, very nice
Thank you Emma for sharing such a beautiful trip to Canada 🇨🇦 safe travels. Bear claws are so yummy 😋
Happy 4th Anniversary! Amazing trip.
Thank you ❤️
How wonderful, traveling is very good !! I love Canada, there's a lot of beautiful things to see there. Enjoy it much!!
Emma and Simon, how happy you both make me ! Happy anniversary, sending you lots of love!
Thank you ❤️
Enjoy the trip you two. Looks like you are having a great time.. fantastic!
We are back now 😥 But it was an amazing trip 👍🏼
@Emma Hill Ah already back.. But, you surely have made some fantastic memories. And on to the next trip! I am planning a roadtrip along the US eastcoast for next spring.
Welcome to Canada! Enjoy the Rockies!
You two are lovely. Thanks for sharing the holiday.
It’s so fun to “travel with” you two. Em, I think this Vlog series started the shacket trend! Traveling post-COVID-19 will be so different, it’s good that you got this trip in before the IT hit the fan, commenting on 29 November 2020, just discovered your travel vids.
Hope you had an amazing time and the video was great so many lovely scenes!
Great trip guys ! Beautiful places ! Enjoy your time ! 👌👌😘
Beautiful landscape 😍😍😍
Oh I'm so glad you guys were enjoying my home
what an amazing first part of your trip and sharing the lush view's , can't wait to see where you will be next x
Loved it you guys...nature's freakin beautiful who knew😂😜💙
Ive been out there and its stunning, nice to see it again. You could never get tired of that view! Happy Anniversary you two ❤🇨🇦❤
Thank you ❤️
I'm just west of the Rockies 🇨🇦. It's so much fun to watch people experience another country...especially your own. Hope you had a wonderful trip and 🇨🇦 didn't disappoint! Tim's! Awesome!
Canada never disappoints 😍
It’s a beautiful part of Canada...looking forward to your jasper vlog. If you’re into beaches and wineries come visit us in the okanagan in BC ❤️...thank you for being environmentally friendly during your visit too 🙂
Welcome. Was there on Tuesday :) going back Saturday for more autumn photos.
Lovely! And you must go to Fairmont Banff and Emerald Lake 😍
Fantastic filming and editing, guys! 👍🏻
I like watching even these videos for some style inspo🙌🏼
OMG Emma and Simon, I have just watched your first Q&A, June 2017. I rather think the ice cream sprinkles added to the outfits. If only I knew I could have been giggling along for the last two years. Just love it. Thank you both.
Wow! 🤣 Don't worry lots more to come 👍❤️
Welcome to Canada ! We are happy to have you~Happy Anniversary ❤️
Happy anniversary beautiful people! I wish you a very very long and happy life together
! You are both amazing. You deserve all your dreams come true. Stay close and take care! Love.
That is very kind, thank you ❤️
:-)
Nature is so great for the spirit. Thank you for capturing the beauty of our country so well Emma and Simon and in such style of course. Love the buffalo plaid jacket. Despite the city boy shoes Simon made an impressive coureur des bois paddling that canoe! :) Happy anniversary.
😂❤️
😍
Love your travel vlogs 😍 and Simon's new hair is 🔥
I've never had a Timbit, but they look goooood!
They are the best. Must be tried if you get the chance 👍🏼
OMG! Simon looks SO HAPPY!!❤️
😍
Simon Creasey I would feel the exact same way!! :)
Really looking forwards to the rest of it the blogs. The chipmunk was gawjus! I've been in hospital and still cant get out much so it's great to see all your filming thanks xx
Wishing you all the best in recovery ❤️
I had to watch to see if I caught a glimpse of my niece anywhere. She works at the Fairmount Lake Louise resort as a grounds keeper.
Loved your face when you starting eating your timbits in the car lol!
Love lake Louise - beautiful place to visit 😘
Timmies is a staple here in Canada! Enjoyed the vlog! Alberta is beautiful
What an amazing life you have built....I need lessons !
Brilliant ! Looking forward to part 2 👍
Love watching people get excited about Timmies
😍😍😘too excited that be the first person 😀 love you!
I’m from Canada and just loved this video! I did this as a family trip when I was a kid and now I’m wanting to go back with my husband (who’s a Brit and has the same love for bears as you and Simon 🐻😆). I’m glad you share our love for Timmy Ho’s ❤️😆
The Rockies are our most fave place in the world. We have been lucky enough to visit a few times and love the area. Feels like you've gone to heaven, its unreal isn't it! We hope you managed to get to Peyto, Emerald and Maligne Lake on your trip up the Icefield Parkway. We hope to get back there one day soon. For anyone who loves a steak you must go to a Hys restaurant. The best steaks and cheese toast EVER. Love your videos. Keep them coming Emma & Simon x
Great footage guys 💕 definitely on my bucket list ❤️ 🇨🇦
