Stunning Views, Great Stops, and Excellent Service

We had an amazing trip to the Columbia Icefields and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience. The stops at Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake were absolutely breathtaking and made the journey even more memorable. A special thanks to our tour guide, Sameer Mohammed, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts and insights about each destination, answered all our questions, and ensured everyone had a great experience. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies!

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

Danielle_W, Jul 2026

Fabulous Tour!

This tour was excellent and I’m so glad we booked it rather than try to drive to all of the lakes ourselves! We were able to pass by the long lines of cars trying to park and go straight towards the sights. Our guide, Michael, was excellent! He was kind, knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. It was definitely worth the price.

Sunwapta, Athabasca Falls, Peyto, Bow Lake, Icefield Parkway

Randy_M, Jul 2026

Long day great trip.

John was the driver and the guide, he did a fantastic job doing both. John also did a great job speaking English and Mandarin. All the falls that we seen during this experience were great to see. The lakes had a turquoise color and surrounded by mountains. Very picturesque! Lunch on our own was good at the ice field restaurant. This was the only place we stopped that had running water, so keep that in mind. All the other locations had outhouse style facilities. It was a long day so pack snacks. John supplied extra free water and little gummy snacks at his cost. This was a 15 passenger tour bus, which was good for the experience and not over crowded.

Best tour to cover the lakes!!

Incredibly smooth travel. Very well planned and didnt feel rushed at any of the stops. York our tour guide was kind, punctual & knowlegable. He took the time to explain the highlights, guide us to the spots with incredible views/hikes. He even did a bit of a detour for us in town instead of making us wait for Gondola pickup grp.

Amazing Service

We had an amazing tour in Banff, and a big part of that was thanks to our driver and tour guide, Sanjeet. From the beginning to the end of the trip, Sanjeet was incredibly friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. He made sure everyone was comfortable, kept the tour well organized, and shared interesting facts and stories about Banff and the surrounding areas. His positive attitude, patience, and willingness to help made the experience even more enjoyable. Sanjeet went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience, giving us enough time at each stop, answering all our questions, and making the journey smooth and memorable. If you’re planning a Banff tour, I highly recommend requesting Sanjeet as your guide. Thank you, Sanjeet, for making our trip so special—we’ll always remember this wonderful experience!

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.

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
