What are people saying about Banff

JEN_S, Sep 2026

An Incredible Icefields Parkway Experience!

We had a fantastic day on the Columbia Icefield Tour with Brewster! Brad and Aaron were both wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining, and great at keeping the day running smoothly. While they weren’t locals, they clearly knew the area extremely well and shared plenty of interesting information along the way. The tour itself was very well organized and truly included everything we needed for a full day of exploring. Water, snacks, and lunch were all provided, which made the experience incredibly easy and convenient. The itinerary was packed with spectacular scenery and, of course, experiencing the Columbia Icefield and Glacier Skywalk was unforgettable. Even though it’s a long day, everything was paced well and we never felt like we had to worry about logistics. We could simply sit back, enjoy the incredible views, and experience the Icefields Parkway. Brad and Aaron helped make an already beautiful day even better. If you’re visiting Banff and want to experience the Columbia Icefield without worrying about driving, parking, meals, or planning all the details yourself, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Christine_V, Sep 2026

Amazing experience!

Great experience. A little scary riding the gondola because of my fear of heights, but so worth it. Views up top were incredible. Had a drink on the sky top patio and just relaxed. A great experience with my family. Boardwalks all easy to walk and take in the views. My entire family thought it was very cool (all young adults). Highly recommend.

eBike and Hike Banff to Johnston Canyon small group guided program

E-bikes with White Mountain Adventures

E-bikes are a fun and safe way to see the Banff National Park and surroundings. We first walked along the Johnston Canyon trail with our guide, Evan, who was very knowledgeable and friendly. She explained the details of the Canyon and its flora and fauna. We then rode our e-bikes on the main roads and a few side roads after a little practice session in a parking lot. We saw a few big horn sheep during the ride, and stopped off at several places along the way to take pics, including at the Vermillion lakes. I highly recommend the company, White Mountain Adventure, and our guide, Evan !!

Banff Day Trip: Johnston Canyon, Fairmont Banff Springs, Gondola

All In One Banff Experience

This is a great option to see a lot in the Banff area in one day. All the highlights are amazing. Our guide, Patrick, was knowledgeable, helpful and professional. There is an option for lunch at the Fairmont Banff. We elected to obtain lunch there as walk-ins. The meal of course was nice, but the views and the Chateau grounds are worth the extra expense.

Great service!! Fantastic driver. Easy experience

This was an absolutely great experience with Kulvinder as my driver! He was on time, even early and made my whole experience comfortable and easy! He was very polite and tuned into making my experience both pleasant and enjoyable. When I coordinated with him for my pickup location, he went out of his way to accommodate my particular situation and made me feel at ease! I would highly recommend this service and was overly impressed with Kulvinder as my driver!!

Banff National Park Guided Hike with Lunch

Marta_P, Jul 2026

Wonderful adventure with wonderful guides

We went on our first hike to Plain of the Six Glaciers with Ashley. It was one of the loveliest days of our trip — Ashley was such a lovely guide, so knowledgeable and kind. We loved it so much that we booked another hike to Stanley Glacier for the next day, and we were not disappointed. Our guide that day was Poppy, and it was just as spectacular. Both Ashley and Poppy were wonderful, and we had a great time with them! With Poppy, we even spotted a grizzly on the road, and she kindly turned the van around so we could see it again — such a thoughtful gesture. The lunch was really tasty too!

The tour was absolutely...

The tour was absolutely incredible! We were so lucky with the weather, but what truly made the experience was our guide, Liam. His knowledge, stories, and the hidden gems he showed us made the tour unforgettable. We learned so much and visited some amazing spots. He was fantastic!

Johnston Canyon Icewalk

Storytelling and Sunshine

This was an amazing experience overall. The trail was 98% covered in ice so having crampons provided was not only convenient but necessary. Sophie was an excellent guide and helped to turn a casual walk in the (gorgeous) woods into an informative tour. Even the drive from the pick up spot to the trailhead was packed with great storytelling. We got very lucky with the weather and had a perfectly warm, sunny day in April! Couldn't have asked for a better set of circumstances. Highly recommend this beautiful tour.

Banff Ghost Walks

Jon_C, Sep 2025

Terrifying tales with the best tour guide!

Going through Banff and learning about the haunted history of the city through such a fantastic and informative guide (Jac) was definitely an experience worth having! Jac gave us the most authentic and truly terrifying tour of the ghosts present around town, and it was quite the night with how she told the tales and brought the stories to life. Definitely recommend!
