Top Banff Private Sightseeing Tours

Our tour guide Robbie gave us a day filled with great info and an easy way to see multiple lakes and vistas. We would not have seen such beautiful sights without his direction. He also shared tips that enhanced the rest of our time in the Banff area. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guides Kate, Will, and Zoe, and Joe the cook, made our trip relaxing and enjoyable. Traveling with my teen (18), my mum (81) and aunt (76), we needed an excursion that would fulfill everyone’s expectations. The covered wagon experience provided that! The meal was excellent. Highly recommend Banff Trail Riders. My daughter and I are already looking at backcountry rides next summer.

If you want to see all the best sites in and around Banff in a single day, this is your tour. We saw Bow Falls, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Lake Peyto, Bow Lake, Johnston Canyon, Bow Valley Parkway and more. We also saw a large black bear and horned sheep in the process. Hikes, incredible views and very educational with a guide that knows a lot about local animals, flowers and history. Our guide, Robyn, was amazing and her energy and commitment to our learning about this beautiful place was amazing. She has just started doing these tours but it felt like she has been doing them forever. We had the best time. As an aside, we were scheduled to start our tour at 7:00 am. There was a terrible accident that shut down the Trans Canada Highway 1 for several hours preventing our guide (all the guides) from being able to reach any clients in Banff for a few hours. Robyn was in constant contact and we ended up starting at 11.00 through zero fault of our guide or the company. Despite that it has nothing to do with them (stuff happens) Robyn killed herself to squeeze in 95% of our itinerary in a 9 hour unforgettable experience. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious. And to boot, the company gave us a 50% discount on our private tour because it was disrupted by this large highway-closing accident despite the fact that it was not their fault at all. We did not expect it and we did not ask for that at all. But we did really appreciate it. The quality of the tour and that level of professionalism because the tour was disrupted regardless of cause is why you should sign up for this tour if you are looking for a one day immersion in all things Banff etc. That was such a professional response that although it was not necessary made us conclude that we would never use another company when in Banff. Well done all around!
