Edward was amazing! We had to change our itinerary the day before due to road conditions, but the new schedule did not disappoint! He made time to show us fun locations and took great pictures of everyone along the way. Would definitely recommend this tour and Edward!

A Perfect Banff Experience Thanks to Kenneth
We had an amazing day trip with Kenneth as our tour guide! His service was absolutely tip-top from start to finish. Kenneth is very nice, kind, and friendly, which made the entire trip enjoyable and comfortable.
What really impressed us was his photography skills, he knows all the best spots and helped us take some really beautiful photos. After bringing us to the three main sites on the tour, he even went the extra mile and brought us to two additional locations: Bow Falls and the Banff Government Office area, where we could capture stunning photos of the Cascade Mountain with Banff town as the backdrop. Those extra stops made the experience even more special.
We truly appreciated the extra effort he put in to make sure we had a great time and memorable photos. We’re very glad to have had Kenneth as our tour guide that day. Highly recommended!

Glimpses of Banff
The tour was well conducted and our guide (Michael) was friendly, warm, and funny. I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to see the top Banff spots in limited time. They also provided clip on spike grips since the condition was icy in certain areas.

Had a great tour in...
Had a great tour in Calgary. I would say the only unfortunate thing was that the +15 skywalk was closed because it was Christmas Day. Really enjoyed the tour because of Joshua. He shared a lot of information about the places we went to. Also since we mostly walked outside, he always tried to look for places we could stop at to warm up (though not a lot due to the holiday). Honestly would go for another tour if he was the guide!

Did the tour with my mom...
Did the tour with my mom and we were the only ones on this tour. So as an introvert, this was a dream come true. Jazz was our guide, he was nice enough to ask us which Lakes we wanted to visit so he could create an itinerary based around what exactly we wanted. We had such a wonderful experience during the 6 hours we spent together. I definitely recommend wearing proper winter boots, because some of the lakes do require you to hike up so winter boots with traction is best or get spikes and mines were worn out so Jazz had to help me down a couple of sloops. I was really looking forward to the Icefields Parkway but because of the weather it was closed, so that was out of Jazz’s control, but we had a good time nonetheless!

Great small group tour
The tour was great and very well paced. My issue with most tours is that the stops are too long and I get bored. At first, I was hesitant about 2.5 hrs at the dinosaur museum, but between the exhibits themselves, hike rout, viewpoint and lunch there’s actually a lot to do. Overall, I feel like it was efficient but not rushed.
My group was 4 people (+ the tour guide Raj) in a van. The vehicle is new, clean and has enough space. Raj was accommodating and gave a lot of info. Overall highly recommend if you came to Calgary without a car and want to see something other than Banff. The terrain in the Badlands is out of this world

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 🙃

Wonderful tour with...
Wonderful tour with amazing views. Aashish is a kind, patient, informative guide. He was available and very willing to take pictures at each stop. We are senior citizens and would not have been able to accomplish The Peyto Lake Trail had it not been for the crampons and physical support Aashish provided. It was definitely worth the effort

A Mountain Paradise!
An absolute incredible day. Murray was a fantastic guide, and the views were better than I ever could have imagined. This tour is the perfect mix of guided tour (Murray has a lot of great information to share) but solo time to explore on your own. I couldn't recommend it more, and can't wait to return.

Incredible!!!!
Absolutely the best experience of my life!! I was a little nervous at first, but I’m SO glad I went through with it. From check-in to returning back to base, the crew made me feel completely at ease. Our guides, Rachel and Tim, kept us laughing the whole way and made the journey unforgettable. I will 100% be booking another tour with this group—and I highly recommend you do the same!

Very accommodating tour,...
Very accommodating tour, Sanjeet was a great tour guide and took me and my friends out even though we were the only people booked onto the tour. We had a lot of fun and even returned to Banff and lake Minnewanka the next day because it’s so beautiful.

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.
