What are people saying about Banff

Lucia_C, Oct 2026

Amazing, Beautiful and Memorable!

The tour was very enjoyable. Roger was enthusiastic, entertaining, and clearly passionate about his work. The tour was very well planned, and the photos Roger took were amazing. The sites we visited were truly beautiful, and we were very lucky to have such wonderful weather. The only recommendation I would make is to give us a little more time in Banff. I know it was already a very packed tour, with so much to see in such a short time, but one hour and fifteen minutes in the town of Banff for lunch and washrooms was far too short. We all felt that we would have loved some extra time to explore the town a little more, rather than having to rush through lunch and deal with very busy washrooms. Even if it meant arriving back in Calgary a little later, I think the extra time in Banff would have made the experience even better. Overall, it was a lovely tour with an excellent driver and guide. Roger, you were a truly Canadian and proud Calgary citizen! I loved your taste in music and the passion you bring to your work and to life. With you, we did not just learn about Banff—we also learned so much about Canada, which we do not always get the chance to experience on a tour. Thank you for making the day so enjoyable and memorable!

A local guide makes the world of difference

Beyond Banff are local guides who know the area, its history, highlights, wildlife and weather like no one else and this makes a huge impact on your tour. Their first hand knowledge sets them apart from every other operator. Quaid kept us entertained and informed for the whole tour and was one of the best guides we’ve ever had!

Great tour of Rockies, well worth the money, and MARCO amazing!

First, I would like to commend Viator as a fabulous travel provider! we've had two trips with them and their communications, help, and support have been second to none! Well done to all staff. We booked the Canadian Banff/Canmore etc trip and it was the highlight of our holiday. Comfy coach, great views, and our tour guide MARCO was just the most brilliant tour guide ever. If you get a chance to go on one of his tours - do so - he's amazing! Warm, funny, great choice of music on the way, sensitive, helpful, can't praise him highly enough. ( and no - we're NOT his family!) He really made the tour come alive, and if it is at all possible, please seek him out and show him this message. He was great. And thank you VIATOR for being a brilliant company - we will definitely use you again....!!!

Don't think twice -- this is an awesome tour!

This tour was worth every penny we spent on the experience. Liam was an exceptional guide with extensive knowledge of the area. Not only was he informative; he was extremely fun, engaging and animated. The van was clean and comfortable and Liam made sure everyone felt safe. I can 100% recommend this tour and Liam as your guide.

Fantastic

We had an amazing experience exploring Alberta with our tour guide aashish! He did a fantastic job showing us around and making sure we got to see and experience some of the best sights the area has to offer. He was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire tour enjoyable and memorable. We really appreciated all the information, stories, and local insight they shared along the way. Their passion for Alberta truly came through, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful experience. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide while exploring Alberta!

No Frills East Tour

==THE TOUR== Our driver/mini-guide, Red, was terrific. He is an excellent driver and very safety-minded. He provided minimal guidance for the trails and as an independent traveler, I REALLY appreciated not having a guide who accompanied us the entire time. At each stop, Red told us what we needed to know and what to expect at each site. Each stop was roughly 70-80 minutes, which was plenty for me. (I easily hiked around 3km at each stop but I am a hiker and trail runner.) If you're looking for safe transportation to/from Lakes Louise and Moraine, this is your tour. ==ADDITIONAL LOGISTICS TO CONSIDER== For those of you driving to Banff for the tour, be prepared to pay the (roughly) 13 CAD per person park entrance fee. The town of Banff is inside the national park. Look for parking structures that offer free parking and be very judicious about street parking in Banff. The Mount Royal pick-up location does NOT have a bathroom nearby so plan accordingly! The nearest public toilet is about a 10 min walk, roundtrip, from Mount Royal. (Not sure about the train station pick-up.) Please remember to not litter. Even if it "slips" put of your hand/pocket/bag, please remember that wildlife will try to eat it. Saw lots of thrown tissues, food wrappers, and some plastic bottles on the trail. Please be mindful of your refuse and take it back out with you.

Columbia icefield and Skywalk Tour

This experience was amazing! The staff from our shuttle bus drivers to the guide/driver taking us on the Columbia Icefield - this tour surpassed our expectations. The skywalk was also amazing as it gave you an insights on the various animals/creatures of the area and geology along with amazing views.

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Nicki_S, Sept 2026

Spectacular scenery

Breathtaking views, well organized, and a lovely experience overall. We got some excellent coffee at the top and we walked the boardwalk all the way to the observatory. The boardwalk steps were not too challenging, even though we increase our elevation. It didn’t feel strenuous. Definitely worth the effort to go all the way to the top.

Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Barbara_V, Sept 2026

Highly recommend!

Easy drive from Banff. Wonderful, spectacular views. Loved the Minnewanka moment of silence. Tho would have like a bit more. We were lucky enough to hear a loon! Saw an eagle bur no other wildlife. Stopped at Two Jack and Johnson lakes driving back to banff. Matt and Vik did a great job. Thanks to Vik for suggesting sunshine gondola! We loved it.
