What are people saying about Calgary

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!

Kananaskis River Rafting Adventure

Julia_K, Jul 2026

Beware of Habit Forming Experience

The fun and splashy trip includes 3-5 category 2-3 rapids and then is fairly calm the rest of the way. It was perfect for our group which includes multiple adults for whom this was their first experience rafting. Fortunately, they’re hooked and we’re talking about where to go for a multi day rafting trip!

A great experience..

Sam (Simarjit Singh) wonderfully conducted the entire trip in a timely manner and was very much engaging with fellow travellers, providing overview on each of the scenic spots and even extending his assistance as a guide as well to all of us. Would highly recommend this tour for travellers who are specially looking for ways to visit the different spots in and around Banff on a tight schedule and without a personal vehicle, and also Sam as a wonderful tour guide!

We had an amazing experience on the Banff tour! Our driver and guide Naveen was exceptional. Naveen ensured a safe, smooth, and comfortable journey throughout the day. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. He shared interesting facts about Banff and all the other sites that we visited. He kept the tour well organized, and made sure everyone felt welcome and enjoyed the experience. His professionalism, enthusiasm, and excellent customer service truly made the trip memorable. Thank you for making our visit to Banff such a wonderful experience! Highly recommended!!

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

Lake Louise Moraine Lake Emerald Lake Yoho Banff National Park

Judy_M, Jun 2026

Best tour guide ever!

This was the best experience I could’ve ever hoped for, mostly thanks to our amazing tour guide, Lou. The man was a wealth of knowledge and kept things fun. We were able to see and do everything we wanted to, and by lucky strike we got to see 3 grizzly bears lounging on the side of the road. It was a mama and her two yearling cubs, and Lou pulled over so we could safely view them and capture some incredible pictures and video. Such a cool experience. Lou gets a 10/10!

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 🙃
