What an amazing experience! Definitely recommend.
I took part in this tour with my mom and it was one of the best parts of our trip. Despite the early morning & long drives, our tour guide (Steve) provided us with an unforgettable experience. Not only was he extremely friendly, but he was also very knowledgeable and funny. He provided us with photography and viewpoint tips, along with snacks and water. Steve’s service combined with the beauty of the rocky mountains created an amazing day for my mom and I. We definitely recommend this tour, specifically with Steve as your guide! :)

Amazing Tour with Jesse
We had an incredible experience on this tour. My mom and I booked a day trip to Banff to visit the four lakes: Peyto, Emerald, Lake Louise, and Moraine lake. The weather this day was very unpredictable with chances of showering but our tour guide Jesse made it up to us. He made sure that we visited Peyto and Emerald Lake first and prayed that it wouldn’t rain in the afternoon. When we were in Emerald Lake, the rain stopped but 10 minutes later it started pouring and Jesse went his way out to go back to the tour bus to grab all of us umbrellas. Along the way, Jesse told us interesting stories and facts about all the lakes, and even took us to some hidden gems spots when we were at Emerald Lake. We got very lucky in the afternoon when the sun was out and Jesse helped us take pictures. I would 100% book another tour in the future!

The Best Tour in Calgary
It was a very wonderful experience we had today! and aside from the beautiful scene, our driver Kamal was so good, so knowledgeable and so pleasing. Is it possible to request him to be our driver for tomorrow, for the Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary, etc… Ref. # 1351911135. Hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you.

Perfect outing with the dinos
First time visiting the area, and it could not have been anymore perfect.
Obviously you can't pick the weather, but this day was flawless. Our tour guild Zee was so knowledgeable and very social, he made even the long drive out there enjoyable, and at each stop, he gave us a complete rundown of it's history.
Every single main attraction you could think of along with a few hidden gems were explored. With more than enough time to take it all in.
I could not have wished for a better first day in the province. So many pictures to remember for years. Thanks Zee for taking us out there.

An Unforgettable Rocky Mountain Adventure with Ben! 🏔️✨
We had an amazing experience on our Rocky Mountain tour! The entire trip was beautifully organized, and we got to see some absolutely breathtaking views and beautiful lakes. Everything was well planned, and it was a great way to explore the Rockies without having to worry about the details.
A special shoutout to our tour guide, Ben, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and kept the whole group engaged throughout the day. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. You could really tell that he enjoys what he does.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely a highlight of our trip to Alberta. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Ben as your guide, you’re in great hands! 🏔️❤️

Calgary Walking Tour
It was a 3 hour tour with quite a number of steps, most had railings to use. There was a 30 minute “rest/washroom” time at the library where there was also a small snack/drink cafe. Our guide was very good but is leaving Calgary next week. However, I’m guessing since the tour is “pay your guide what you choose”, that most of them are pretty good. I do think it would be appropriate if the company gave some guidelines for amounts.
The downtown area is very interesting and the art is impressive. Even though not all the art was exactly my taste, the fact there is so much & it is so diverse is very appealing & interesting. Highly recommend.

I had such a great experience on this solo trip to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Johnston Canyon. Even though I was traveling alone, I never got bored. There was always something beautiful to see and enjoy at every stop.
Everything was well organized and, most importantly, everything was on time. The schedule was easy to follow, and I never felt rushed or worried about missing anything. It was such a fun and stress-free way to see some of the most beautiful places in the Rockies.

100% Best Experience. Dair is the Best!
I had several tours during my stay in Canada but this one I have to give it a score of 100%. This tour was so well organized. Our tour guide Dair was very friendly, caring, empathetic and so considerare of us. He was always in such high spirits, great sense of humor, put good music, and had the best recommendations to make the most of our trip.
Also, I appreciated that he kept us imformed at all times about the time of driving time between spots, and the recommended washrooms available. This way we were able to prepare ourselves and ensure we used the recomended washrooms even if we did not needed it and avoid using the unsanitary ones. I appreciated this the most since on another tour the guide did not provide us any info so we really did not know which was the recommended washrooms and how long was the driving time to get to them, so most people used washrooms in extremly poor conditions not knowing that the next stop was just a short drive and they could have hold it.
This tour is very long but soo worth it. So please be mindfull of the time and be always punctual, thats the best way to make the most of your trip. If you are late you will have less time on the spots. We were given alot of
time to enjoy all spots. The lakes were extremely beautiful. We met such great people during this tour. Dairs food recommendation was on point. I loved that he asked us auestions at the binning of the tour to know more about us and our interests to give us pointers and recomending what to do.
I got to do the canoe, although expensive it was soooo worth it. I honestly though I would not be able to do it. lol.
I was concerned for our tour guide because if we were on this tour for about 13 hours I cannot imagine when the day began and ended for the tour guide since he had to pick us up & drop us off first before heading back home
Thank you Dair you are very special. We loved the tour with you. Looking forward to comming back and trying that Alberta Steak. lol
Love
Edwin & Steph

Wonderful trip with Sanjeet
It was a wonderful trip. Our guide, Sanjeet, helped make this long journey less tiring and more memorable. He helped us quickly navigate unfamiliar areas, and we truly enjoyed many beautiful views, despite the cloudy and rainy weather. Sanjeet is also a very good driver. He drives the Matrix company bus safely. The trip was relaxing and very enjoyable. Thank you very much!

Great tour of 2 breweries and beautiful street art in many parts of the city of Calgary.
Great tour of the city of Calgary city art. Many talented artists leave their mark on the sides if buildings all over the city. We began at the wonderful brewery and sampled 6 different beers. Then walked the city to see the art and ended at a second brewery sampling another f is ur beers. The second was Four Dogs which allowed patrons to bring their dogs with them inside.

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.
