A must book with them!
Rocky Mountain Trips was phenomenal! From start to finish. Pick up was easy, our Van was so comfortable and with Ac. Enjoyed the time we were given at each stop, we were never rushed. Luis, our guide was always ready with information and tips. He was very knowledgeable about Banff, surrounding cities and local spots. He kept the group engaged but also gave us time to rest when the drive was a bit long. He was an amazing guide. We wouldn’t have enjoyed our trip if we’d done it on our own. The itinerary offered was so well curated, I had done my research and found that RMT was one of the only tours that offered a two hour window in Banff Avenue, which when you’re ready to eat and shop, matters. I highly suggest book with them, I know I will do so time and time again.

Stunning Views, Great Stops, and Excellent Service
We had an amazing trip to the Columbia Icefields and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience. The stops at Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake were absolutely breathtaking and made the journey even more memorable.
A special thanks to our tour guide, Sameer Mohammed, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts and insights about each destination, answered all our questions, and ensured everyone had a great experience. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the tour both enjoyable and informative.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies!

Thank you
"Thank you so much for your kind guidance and helpful service! I really appreciated how smoothly you explained everything, took photos for us, frequently provided water and snacks, and stayed so calm and clear throughout. I’d love to recommend you to my friends!
I got your email address to send a tip, but it prompted me for a security password/question, so I couldn't complete it... I'm so sorry about that! But it was really a great trip. Thank you again, and wish you all the best and stay healthy!"

Long day great trip.
John was the driver and the guide, he did a fantastic job doing both. John also did a great job speaking English and Mandarin.
All the falls that we seen during this experience were great to see. The lakes had a turquoise color and surrounded by mountains. Very picturesque! Lunch on our own was good at the ice field restaurant. This was the only place we stopped that had running water, so keep that in mind. All the other locations had outhouse style facilities. It was a long day so pack snacks. John supplied extra free water and little gummy snacks at his cost. This was a 15 passenger tour bus, which was good for the experience and not over crowded.

Best tour to cover the lakes!!
Incredibly smooth travel. Very well planned and didnt feel rushed at any of the stops. York our tour guide was kind, punctual & knowlegable. He took the time to explain the highlights, guide us to the spots with incredible views/hikes. He even did a bit of a detour for us in town instead of making us wait for Gondola pickup grp.

Whole trip is a very...
Whole trip is a very exciting experience. Our driver and guide Habib is very friendly and knowledgeable. He provides a lot of information during the driving along with audio tour. He also provides cool bottle water and always explains details and reminds us of washroom breaks. Pick up and drop off are all on time. Definitely recommend it!

Rafting Fun with Kids
We had an amazing time rafting with Alex and his crew! Our kids are 10 and 14 and loved it. It is cold, and we did get wet, but it was worth all the fun. Alex was especially attuned to a medical condition in our group, and we felt super safe. The photos provided are great.

Fun City/ lots of walking
Great city and so much to see. We had a great guide who provided good information. The area is stunning, and we really enjoyed the tour. Overall, very happy with the experience. This is a 3-hour walking tour! Be aware that it is only walking for 3 hours. It worked great for us, but if you have issues walking, this is not for you.

Great trip good price
This trip covers a lot of site seeing around Banff National Park and allows time for lunch in downtown Banff. We got picked up in Canmore which was convenient for us. The tour was 9 hours, which seems like a long time, but since the tour included so many sites, it didn’t feel that long. We started with the Banff Gondola. Our tour guide, Ram was great. He helped us with getting the gondola tickets. You have a little over an hour up top. The scenery was amazing. They had outside observation decks and chairs to relax. You can also hike. Next we soaked in the Banff mineral springs. I highly recommend it. I felt renewed and relaxed after a 10 minute soak. We then went to Bow falls, which was picturesque. Ram was ready to help with pictures. He even did a 360 picture for us. It looks professional. We then got an hour in Banff to shop or eat. We grabbed some lunch. The afternoon included, surprise corner, Johnson Lake, two Jacks lake and Lake Minnewanka. I could be leaving something out. Not sure. We had ice cream from the snack shack at Kake Minnewanka. It was better than Cows in Banff. The price is right. I’d definitely recommend this tour

Amazing experience
Awesome experience! Our guide, Tina, was a wealth of knowledge about Canada and Calgary history. The art (murals and statues) that we saw were amazing and the bars we went to served amazing flights of local craft beers and ciders! Highly recommend this tour.

One of the Best Tours
This was our first visit to Calgary. The tour was fun and interesting, and we learned a lot about the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour one of the best we’ve been on. We even took her advice on a restaurant for dinner! Five stars all around.

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, Calgary is an ideal home base for visitors wanting to explore Alberta’s expansive parks. A day trip from Calgary can take you to the glacial blue waters of Lake Louise, the picturesque town of Banff, and the Columbia Icefields. In summer, the dramatic badlands landscape of Drumheller is well worth a visit on a tour, too, as you discover the dinosaur capital of the world.
