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.

Banff Gondola, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Lake Minnewanka Tour

Cliff_T, Jul 2026

Banff July 2026 Fantastic

This is an absolute great trip to see all of the major sightseeing places around Banff. Gary was great at getting us to main entrances all of the time...which was good as we had some ailing walkers. I was thinking of driving to these sites in a car...there is no way we'd get parking close to where the tour busses drop us off. In some cases the parking for cars is 2km away. You will also need to know that while the walks are not overly stressful, if you are not used to longer walks or have ok cardio then this may be a bit much to see the best parts of the sites. Some places are an easy walk, while others like the canyon walk are about 1.5 kms going up and down hilly areas. Overall amazing day that I'm sure all would enjoy.

Lake Louise, Moraine Lake ,Emerald Lake & Banff(optional:Gondola)

Jennifer_C, Jul 2026

Well worth this fantastic adventure!

This is a fantastic opportunity to see the best that the Canadian Rockies have to offer. The lakes are crystal clear and absolutely stunning to view. Being close to the mountains is absolutely amazing. Our guide Jacky was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up getting to go to the Banff Hot Springs for an hour when everyone else explored Banff Village and took the Gondola ride. This was shear luck because usually the Hot Springs are packed and you can't buy tickets ahead. We took the risk and it was absolutely worth it! We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Wear comfortable shoes and layer up because anything can happen with the weather!

Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour Gratuity-Based

Catalina_B, Jul 2026

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.

Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald & Peyto - 4 Lakes in Banff

Cornelio_A, Jul 2026

Beautiful Lakes

The four lakes of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Peyto Lake are amazingly beautiful! I and my two companions enjoyed this whole day excursion and do recommend it to others. Ray, our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. Ray is just excellent!

Calgary: Columbia Icefield Adventure, Skywalk and Peyto Lake Tour

Marco_A, Jul 2026

Good Tour Operator

Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to enjoy the trip due to a small scheduling error; however, the tour operator took responsibility for it and refunded us the full amount, which we greatly appreciate and want to highlight in this review. We'll definitely give them a opportunity during our next trip to beautiful Banff/ Canmore, AB, Canada.

Had an amazing experience...

Had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Kulvinder! He was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting facts about the places we visited, which made the tour even more enjoyable. He was friendly, organized, and made the whole day smooth and memorable. Highly recommend!

Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes tour

Shari_P, Jun 2026

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

Day of Dinosaurs & Hoodoos from Calgary to Drumheller Badlands

SMTanvir_K, Oct 2025

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 🙃

Explore Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Roundtrip Shared Tour

KaziTanjedul_E, Aug 2025

Fantastic Experience Exploring the Rockies!

I recently joined the Shared Tour: Emerald Lake, Lake Louise & Moraine Lake from Calgary with ABestX, and it was terrific. From start to finish, everything was well-organized and thoughtfully executed. 🚐 The vehicle was spacious and comfortable, making the journey smooth and enjoyable. 🧑‍🏫 Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about each location and answering all our questions with enthusiasm. ⏰ Time management was spot-on—we had ample time at each stop without feeling rushed. 💧 They even provided drinking water, which was a nice touch. 📸 We made scenic stopovers in Banff city and at the stunning Natural Bridge, perfect for capturing memorable photos. The beauty of Emerald Lake, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake is beyond words, and this tour made it all the more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the Canadian Rockies with ease and comfort!
