Fabulous tour in Banff area.
Our tour was wonderful! (My wife and I and her brother/sister-in-law) Our guide Anchit was friendly, informative and helpful as us 70-ish seniors navigated difficult steps at Moraine Lake. He helped my wife navigate the 100+ steps up to the lookout. The private tour upgrade was very well worth it as we had flexibility to skip a couple locations, (because we'd seen them), and stay less time or more time as we wished. That helped in a couple crowded places where we weren't restricted by a short visit and need to return to the bus. Our guide also picked us up at our hotel. We would highly recommend this tour, (and the private upgrade, if possible).

A Perfect Day
We had a perfect day. Rob our guide was excellent, knowledgeable and funny. We had a good group of 8 that were on time so Rob was able to make a few extra stops. He also knew how crowded some areas get, so instead of waiting in traffic, we went later in the day and got right in. The lakes were gorgeous and we saw the mountains reflecting in the water. Got history, local info as all were from US.
I had some issues with steps so Rob was able some alternate paths so I could get the most out of stops. Loved it,

Glaciers and Glacial Lakes
Nolan and Gerald tag teamed telling us about the culture, sites and activities we would be doing. They made a great team.
Peyto Lake was beautiful first thing in the morning. We learned how glaciers help produce the vivid blue in the lakes around them.
Next we went to the Skywalk which provided great views of glaciers, waterfalls and the rugged terrain below that mountain goats and big horn sheep frequent. It was great being on the bus because buses park right next to the entrance while car riders must be transported to the site. We walked right in and had our bus waiting for us once we we done.
The buffet style lunch had a great variety of food and was extremely well organized to handle busloads of people. The photography in the visitor Center below was exceptional.
We then were driven to the ice explorer which took us straight out o to the glacier. The views were breathtaking. We had plenty of time to walk around in safe zones and get all the pictures we wanted.
As a bonus, we even saw a large black bear along the road on our way home and paused for a brief moment for photos out the window.
Again, being on the tour bus allowed us to see more because of the up front parking passenger buses are given at all the sites. Well worth the tour.

Individualized attention!
Loved the ability to get on and off where we wanted. The staff was incredible - they spent time with everyone individually to make they were sure you were going to get everything you wanted out of the day and included helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Conor!
What an amazing experience. Connor was the “host with the most” and was very conversational and explained so much about wildlife, and just great and fun conversation altogether. Everything went great, despite it being a little rainy during the first half of the tour. Fortunately, we were able to see some beautiful elk! We especially appreciate that Connor suggested “Peak” pho restaurant. It was a welcome respite from the cold.!

Wagon entertainment
A well organised and leisurely wagon journey to and from a well appointed dinner stop.
We had Sidney (May be the wrong spelling,) but a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
She kept us informed and entertained throughout. The steak was good and cooked as ordered and the side orders were excellent.

Don't Waste time...go there before it melts!
Scenery is unmatchable. The information our driver gave was outstanding. Our bus driver narrated clearly and so easily while driving. He also was a very "even" driver....no quick starts or stops....just even and of nice speed to be able to take photos. Lunch was great. Our tour guide just did a fabulous job. He clearly loves the Canadian Rockies and knows the history.

Highly Recommend.
I would highly recommend this audio tour. We used it while traveling from Lake Louise to Jasper. Lots of great information and directions to fabulous points of interest. We would have missed these otherwise. The tour is GPS controlled so it knew exactly where we were at all times.
Very easy to use – played through CarPlay.

An enjoyable private tour guide
This audio tour felt like we had a professional bus tour guide sitting along with us in our car. The narrator has a clear and enjoyable voice. The downloaded offline tour did not require cell service (especially great since our area of travel had no service) and was self-activating at the precise points of interest. Learned some very interesting historical facts. Felt like a private tour that ran at our own pace. Very well made and most definitely worth the cost. We look forward to purchasing more tours for our future destinations.

Best tour for a first-time visit
This is a great choice for a first-time visit, as it offers the best of Banff National Park. We chose the private tour gave us ample time at each stop to explore without feeling rushed. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, knew the Park very well, and was able to use safe, alternate routes to get to points of interest that were temporarily closed. He also knew exactly when to pull to the side of the road so we could get the perfect wild-life shot.

Fantastic day hike!
I did the Larch Valley Hike and it was fantastic! Super well organised, pick up and drop off was on time, and the packed lunch was great. But our two guides Evie and Jade (hope I got their names right!) really elevated the experience - they were friendly, experienced hikers and made the whole group feel very safe and welcome. I was also lucky enough to have a great tour group, which made for great conversation! This is my second Discover Banff tour and I will always recommend this company if you’re looking for a great day out in Banff.

Love mountain lakes and water falls!!
This tour was great, even though it overlapped with stops we had already made, the guides provided so much additional information which made it interesting. The buffet lunch was great too.
My only concern was that a change in pick up time was not reflected in the app, we missed the pickup time but luckily our hotel was able to sort it out and give us a ride to the next stop.
