Exceptional tour

We had an amazing experience with Rockies Journey, guided by Boyd. This tour exceeded all expectations and left me with memories I’ll treasure for a lifetime. Boyd went above and beyond to ensure we felt relaxed, welcome, and at ease throughout the day. His warmth and attentiveness made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish. He shared practical tips that enhanced our experience, helping us navigate viewpoints and photo spots.. Boyd also shared fascinating insights about the areas we visited, enriching our understanding of the landscapes. Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, and Lake Emerald are truly spectacular. Each stop offered its own unique beauty, and Boyd’s guidance helped us appreciate them more deeply. It felt like a dream come true to witness these iconic sights up close. The itinerary was well-balanced, with enough time at each lake to soak it all in without feeling rushed. The transportation, pacing, and safety considerations were top-notch. If you’re planning a trip to the Rockies, book with Rockies Journey and ask for Boyd. You’ll be in capable hands and come away with not just beautiful photos, but cherished memories and a sense of real wonder. Highly recommend—five stars! ~Elise R

Amazing!

We had an exceptional tour in Banff! Everything was perfectly organized, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Our guide, Aashish, was outstanding. He explained everything in great detail, shared interesting facts about the area, and gave us excellent tips throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience both enjoyable and informative. Moraine Lake was definitely our favorite stop of the day—it is absolutely breathtaking and simply impeccable. The scenery is even more beautiful in person and was one of the highlights of our trip to the Canadian Rockies. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Aashish as your guide. Thank you for making our visit to Banff so memorable!

This was a wonderful way...

This was a wonderful way to explore Banff, Lake Louise and Lake Moriane. You dont have to worry about driving or parking. We took my 5 year old son and he was able to participate in all activities/walks. We also choose to do the hot springs (instead of gondola ride) and it was wonderful (side note they do not open till 10am, we were there too early) but was well worth it. Our guide Ben was wonderful, answered any and all of our questions and provided extended knowledge of the area. It was a wonderful day had by all.

Badlands Guided Small Group Tour: Calgary to Drumheller Dinosaurs

Regina_C, Jun 2026

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!

Throughout the trip, she shared interesting facts and stories, making the experience both enjoyable and informative. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm made the tour even more memorable. Thank you, Vicky for helping us create such wonderful memories at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. We highly recommend her to anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies!

The Gondola ride was so...

The Gondola ride was so beautiful. Worth every penny. The view were amazing. Staff were all so nice. However, When buying your tickets on line make sure you buy directly from their site otherwise you still have to wait in line to get a paper ticket. A little frustrating as I bought my on Viator

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 🙃
