Well organised trip and great guide
Kenneth our tour guide really made our whole experience! It was super snowy and so we couldn’t do parts of the trip due to an avalanche but he still made the trip fun and gave us lots of knowledge alongside good humour and great photo taking. He also drove us safely around in very difficult conditions! We loved Johnston Canyon and it was interesting to see the lakes all icy, although you don’t get to see them in their full glory in winter like you would in the summer. Overall we’d recommend this trip!

Best ever trip to Banff!
Our guide, Teddy is great! Very professional, knowledgeable and warmhearted. All the way to and from The park, he talked lots of stories about the history of Banff, including the origin of Canada’s first National Park. Really learned a lot! With in one day, we visited the lake Louis, Johnston Canyon trail, waterfall, central town of Banff and many surprises!

First time in snow shoes and crampons!
We had a great time! Kenneth was such an awesome tour guide. He shared with us so much information about the wildlife and history of the area. We had some crazy snow during our tour, but we still felt safe and in good hands with Kenneth. We got to explore 3 different lakes, and due to the inclement weather, we pretty much had every location to ourselves which made for a magical winter wonderland. Highly recommend!

Yoho! Wow!
We had an incredible time on our tour thanks to Sammy! He was an exceptional driver: professional, safe, and a wealth of knowledge. He kept us entertained throughout the journey with useful historical insights and fun facts that really added depth to the scenery. Whenever I visit a new place, I always try to eat like a local, so I truly appreciated his recommendations. I tried the bison pie in Lake Louise and an elk hamburger in Banff; both were delicious! The car was in great condition and very comfortable. All the tour stops were well-timed and beautiful. My only minor wish is that our final stop in Banff could have been an hour or so longer to allow for more exploration, and we wouldn't have minded getting home a bit later. However, I understand the safety concerns and that some passengers might get tired. We tipped at the end, which was highly deserved! My friends and I greatly enjoyed this tour. It would be perfect for solo travelers, too! I highly recommend booking this tour.

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!

Great experience
Great experience! We joined at the last minute because another company canceled on us less than 24 hours before. Thankfully we were able to join this group and had a wonderful time. Liam our guide was super nice and showed us all the beauty in Banff in the winter.

Our family of 5 joined...
Our family of 5 joined this tour, and it gave us a really nice experience and a memory to treasure forever. Although there were closed locations due to the season, our guide, Inder, made sure that the itinerary was planned and discussed. He was outstanding throughout the tour. He assisted our uncle who is a senior and our kid during the trail walks (so that’s really nice of him). Thanks to his warm personality, this tour became a truly unforgettable experience to our family.

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.

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.
