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!

Great rafting adventure
Jachimo was a great guide! Loved his rafting guide stories. The trip was a great adventure for me and my 2 boys ago 10 and 12. The river ran high yesterday and it was a fun, fast adventure filled with enough rapids to make it the right amount of adrenaline!

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.

Good tour to learn
Cool experience to learn and see more about downtown Calgary and its history. Our guide was amazing, and she showed us tons of cool things and dropped lots of cool knowledge bits on us! You do have to walk through some iffy parts of downtown but stay as a group and you should be A OKAY!

Awesome day tour!!
All the places on this tour were amazing! Just not the places, but the whole route was very scenic. We spotted wildlife too!!
William, our tour guide had outstanding energy, was very patient and kind! He made the whole day even more better with his commentary and humour.

Wonderful day out from Calgary through the Rockies with amazing scenery delivered by a knowledgeable fun safe driver an
Excellent day to visit Jasper National Park with amazing views and stops on the way to see some of the most stunning scenery in the Canadian Rockies. Bally the guide was an absolute star who personalised the tour including all the group which was great as there was only 9. Although there was a small issue in which a member sadly fell and was unable to continue on the tour, he was so attentive ensuring they were tended to by the appropriate services before continuing our day. The drive was long from Calgary but comfortable, great knowledge from Bally and the stops perfect for fabulous photos.

This experience was...
This experience was great! Ashish picked us up on time and was very knowledgeable about the mountains and land around us. This is a great tour to do if you’re not too sure which places to go to (it hits all the main spots in Banff). It was also nice not having to worry about driving in unfamiliar territory. Thank you Ashish and company!

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.

Transportation not Tour
This is transportation to Lake Louise with 1.5 hr drop off and then to Morraine Lake for 1.5 dropoff. Then back to pick up site. Our driver gave great info on the way as well as some information about the trails. He was very well spoken. This package was what we were looking for. If you want to stop at Lake Louise Village, choose a different one.

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.
