Whole trip is a very exciting experience. Our driver and guide Habib is very friendly and knowledgeable. He provides a lot of information during the driving along with audio tour. He also provides cool bottle water and always explains details and reminds us of washroom breaks. Pick up and drop off are all on time. Definitely recommend it!

No need to bother with shuttles etc
Ron and Cyrus were great tour guides, it was lovely to sit back and be driven everywhere with commentary and suggestions. There was some unexpected road conditions on the way that slowed us down but they were great at being nimble and fixing up the itinerary on the fly to make sure we could see everything. Highly recommend for a touch of everything!

This experience was great. The drive to Columbia icefield was good. We did only the skywalk. The lakes along the way were so beautiful especially the Peyto lake. Our tour guide Gary was great at showing us various spots along the way and taking good family pictures of all the guests.

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.

I went on this tour with my son and we both loved this adventure. Our tour guide, Ashish, was very knowledgeable about the different places that we saw. We took a lot of photos and videos and explored various lakes. I wished that I had a walking stick with me on this trip but it’s definitely a tour to get if you are coming here to Banff.

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.

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

Use Rocky Mountain Trips for your tours. Highly recommended.
Not only were the locations breathtaking but Rocky Mountain Trips and our guide, Angel made this tour AMAZING. He didn’t make us feel rushed and his facts were interesting and informative. He was relaxed and so were we. Even his music selection was great. I will surely recommend this trip with Rocky Mountain Trips - and Angel.

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.

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!

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.
