A memorable trip indeed
This day trip is an experience not to be missed. Our tour guide Kevin made it truly memorable. He was sincerely invested in giving us a great trip. He kept the journey interesting by sharing many personal experiences of the area as well as a lot of information about the history, economy and social context of the places we were passing through. His insights were very informative and entertaining. What was very impressive was the effort he put into the whole exercise. Totally recommend Kevin and his Banff daytrip !

Fun Drumheller Tour With Plenty of Flexibility
Raj was such an awesome tour guide. He was very informative about each sight, then dropped us off at each one and let us explore independently. I really appreciated the structure of the tour. There is a good amount of flexibility in choosing which sights to be visited so that every group member could be satisfied. Raj would drive back and forth to the minor sights and the museum so that everyone could choose what they wanted. The only critique I have is the stop at the World's Largest Dinosaur, which is purely tacky, but I guess it's popular enough for others to warrant a visit. We wanted to stay longer at the Royal Tyrell Museum, and we were able to choose the full 3 hour visit there instead of the other minor optional visits. Every other tour company offers you less time there, which is why I chose them in the first place. If you want to linger at the museum longer, book this tour!

We had an amazing...
We had an amazing experience, exploring the Columbia Icefields with our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. He shared fascinating information about the history, wildlife scenery, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, included throughout the tour. The breathtaking views and memorable stops made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely recommend this tour and especially our guide, William, to anyone visiting the Rockies thank you for helping make our trip special.

10/10 must book tour with Teddy
This is THE best tour and guide ever! Teddy was amazing and gave such good recommendations and took excellent pictures. It was mine & my sisters first time out of the states and our first trip together and he helped make it so memorable! I will definitely be back in the future!

Great Way to See Banff Without the Driving Stress
Our experience was excellent. This is a great hybrid tour option for anyone who wants the flexibility to explore Banff’s top attractions without the hassle of driving, finding parking, or navigating unfamiliar areas. The transportation was convenient and allowed us to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Our tour guide, Inder, was outstanding. He was professional, polite, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made the day enjoyable and stress-free.
One important thing for future travelers to know is that this tour provides transportation to the attractions, but attraction tickets are not included. If you plan to visit places such as the Banff Gondola or take a lake cruise, be sure to purchase those tickets separately and well in advance. We were fortunate to find reservations a few days before, but many attractions can sell out quickly.
Overall, I would highly recommend both this tour and Inder. We had a fantastic time and would gladly do it again.

A wonderful introduction to the Canadian Rockies
It was a well planned tour that covered 4 beautiful lakes. Each of the lake was unique and stunning! Jess and Jessie were wonderful guides and although English was not their first language they more than made up for it with their enthusiasm and kindness!

Interesting and beautiful country
Long day but worth it. Be ready to travel but once at the ice fields very interesting to see what's left and learn about it's history. Great tour guide. Very helpful and always checking on us. Didn't know we were going to the lakes as it wasn't clear when booked so more itinerary would have been nice.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience on this tour! The tour itself was fantastic and brought us to all of the must-see spots around Banff. Everything was well organized and gave us the chance to see so many beautiful places in one day.
Our tour guide, Kenneth, was phenomenal! He was friendly and welcoming right from the start and made the whole experience even better. Kenneth was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the sites and shared interesting information throughout the tour. He also gave us amazing tips on the best picturesque spots that people not on the tour probably wouldn’t know about. He even offered to take photos for us and knew all the best angles! Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Kenneth as your guide.

Falls and glaciers
Driver knew what he was doing and where he was going. Very patient, engaging and enthusiastic. The glaciers were amazing, Columbia Icefields drive to Jasper was super cool. Long drive but we saw a lot of big horn sheep and some black bears along the route!

Amazing and memorable tour!
Amazing experience for a solo traveller visiting Banff for the first time. The tour was scenic and fun. Kevin was super helpful, communicated all the details, kept us on schedule, and showed our group some hidden gems. If I return for a second tour, I will definitely book with him again!

The badlands is a great contrast in landscape to the typical rockies tour. Very much worth doing.
The badlands is areally cool place thats worth taking the tour for. The scenery is vastly different from what you see at the rockies as a tourist. The Tyrell museum was interesting. It would be amazing for people that are more into dinosaurs. The hoodoos were the highlight for the tour. We saw some wildilfe on the way and our guid walid was kind enough to stop or turn back for us to take pictures. Walid is general very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I also liked the trip duration. It was not too long or too short. The only negative thing in the trip for me would be the audio tour guide that would play from time to time and break up some of our conversation 🙃

If you have just a few...
If you have just a few days in the Banff area, I would recommend this tour. It covers most of the main tourist attractions with a good pace - enough time to enjoy all the sites and have breaks/lunch. Ben was a great guide and driver. We appreciated his knowledge, sense of humour- and keeping us on schedule.

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.
