Banff Nature and Highlights with Rae.
Small group, Rae was adaptive to current sightings and ongoing issues (we were informed about the current bear sightings and given good advice on what to do with our own, onward journey.) Rae was fun, knowledgeable and reacted well to the needs of the group. She is also a decent photographer. Would definitely recommend.
We saw Long horned sheep, Elk, White tails and a Golden Eagle.

Better planning
After spending 20 years looking forward to seeing the famous blue waters of Lake Louise, I arrived at a frozen over, ice field. Lack of education and preparedness on my part obviously. Upon recognizing my disappointment, Aashish, our tour guide focused on lifting up my spirits and reminding me just how beautiful this area is, ice and all. The tour incorporated many different types of terrain as well as many interesting facts and stories about the area and it’s history. I will return someday, in one of the warmer months, but when I do, I will be looking for Aashish to show me around!

A night to remember
Jacob and Jack were amazing guides , if you have the opportunity to take advantage of this amazing experience I highly recommend it! We had the great fortune of seeing the northern lights and an incredible midnight blue sky lit up by our stars! I was completely impressed that they offered us all a ride back to our hotel and when Jacob shared with Jack to wait for travellers to get a cab and not to leave anyone alone- impressive and meaningful

5 out of 5 Stars! Great Tour - Great Guide - Great Value
This tour was a fantastic way to see many of the key sites in the area in one day. Our driver and guide - Hao - was phenomenal! He was very informative in teaching us local history and gave us plenty of time to explore at each of the sites. He made adjustments to the plans to meet our interests. Most importantly, he kept us safe throughout the day. This was one of the best organized tours we’ve ever had…and we’ve travelled all around the world. Highly recommend this tour and this driver/guide (Hao) in particular! He helped us make memories we will cherish forever. Thanks Hao!

I am very satisfied with...
I am very satisfied with the places we visited and they gave us two hours to look around banff town and grab lunch. The whole tour is planned very well for a reasonable price and our tour guide, Ray, was very sweet and very hard-working. He went out of his way and offered to pick up and drop off at a location we are most comfortable with. Ray was awesome.

Wonderful day! ❤️
My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour! Rahul was such a fantastic and friendly tour guide, and he timed the stops perfectly to where we missed the largest influx of crowds and still managed to have plenty of time at each stop. I wanted to cover as many of the major sites as possible and this tour was perfect. Small group size was also a great benefit. Thanks for a wonderful day that we’ll remember for years to come!

Great tour for Winter wonderland
Due to snowing weather condition, our tour modified to go to Johnston canyon instead of marble canyon. The changes were communicated ahead of the day. We are very happy with our tour guide Andy. He is very friendly and humorous. He is so passionate about the history, geology, and culture of the area. We learned so much about the Rockies, the trees, wild animals etc. He pointed to us the land bridges and tunnels, the magical winter of Banff national park and everywhere we went. I truly enjoyed the day and the tour thanks to Andy. He has great communication skills. It’s great that we had options requiring different physical challenges at each stop. Last but not least important, he drove us safely through the thick snow and slippery roads where we saw quite a few vehicles slipped into ditches.
I would strongly recommend this tour. Great value and great experience!

Grizzly Banff Tours
The driver Mark was very responsive with texts and arrived on time and was very friendly. He was well informed and educated us on every aspect of the tour from the drive to Banff to information in the park as well as being a great photographer. Our group was great and he made sure we all had a truly memorable time ! Thanks again for an amazing time in Banff Mark!
I highly recommend this tour!

I love taking photos, so...
I love taking photos, so I joined the tour with my camera, and Mr. Lam was incredibly considerate, always making sure I had enough time and opportunities to take pictures. Even after returning to Korea, I kept thinking about how kind he was throughout the trip.
I traveled with my sister and my boyfriend, and thanks to Mr. Lam’s excellent driving skills, even long hours in the car felt very comfortable and relaxing. I think it would be a great tour to bring older family members on next time as well.
Because of him, we discovered many wonderful places, and I was impressed by how attentively he cared for every participant, even those traveling alone.
We were also lucky enough to spot a deer on the way, and he kindly stayed there for a long time so that everyone could fully enjoy and remember that special moment.
Throughout the ride, he explained so much about Canada—the mountains, nature, and culture—and his knowledge was truly impressive.
If I come back to Canada again, I would definitely want to join a tour with him once more.
(P.S. Mr. Lam, I was so touched when you slowed down the car every time I tried to take photos from the moving vehicle. Thanks to that, I was able to capture so many great shots. Thank you so much!)

Beautiful Day on Lake Minnewanka!
We had an excellent time on the Lake Minnewanka Cruise! Our tour guide was amazing! Knowledgeable, engaging, and a great storyteller. It was a fun, relaxing day on the lake with perfect weather and stunning views. Getting tickets through Viator was easy, and transportation was smooth. We took the bus from downtown Banff, but there was plenty of parking available if you drive yourself. Highly recommend this experience when visiting Banff!

Amazing trip
What a great way to see the best lakes & views of Banff. Our tour guide, Robbie, was so knowledgeable, personable & knew just where to take us to see the best sites. Having a small group allowed us to move on quicker to the next great spot. And it was a big plus having someone do the driving for you. Highly recommend!

Views that you will not want to miss!
A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of the crowds.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Banff’s prime location in the heart of the Canadian Rockies makes it ideal for exploring some of the most scenic landscapes in North America. Banff day trips take you to the glacier-fed Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake, and to see impressive waterfalls and wildlife-rich valleys. Most tours include local guides, national park admission fees, and some offer meals or hot drinks. A day trip from Banff frees you up to fully immerse yourself in your mountain experience, whether you ice-hike through Johnston Canyon in winter or admire national park scenery in summer.
