Great tour to see some of the stand out places around Banff
We had a great time on this tour! Jesse was a fun, cheery, and informative guide and Dash was a great driver. We only had two days in Banff and wanted to see as much of it as possible so this tour was perfect! It was a long day, but it really didn’t feel like too much. We went with 3 children, 15,13 & 9 and they enjoyed it as well. We enjoyed the restaurant that Jesse recommended for lunch and at every stop he went above and beyond to help us get the best spots to view from. All in all highly recommendable.

Day Tripping in an Air Conditioned Van
On a recent vacation to Calgary we took the Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes Tour. From beginning to end, we had a very enjoyable day. The pick-up location was easy to find and very walkable from our downtown hotel. Our guide, Naveen, did an excellent job. He was cordial and professional, a perfect combination. Our favorite parts of the tour were Bow Falls, Lake Louise, and the Banff Gondola. If you take this tour and you happen to love mint chocolate chip ice cream, you're in luck! It was available at the snack stand at Lake Minnewanka and was delicious!

Great Family Activity
My family and I had a fantastic afternoon out with Jeff ( driving our bus) and Joe our brilliant guide. The whole team were encouraging and welcoming but most importantly safe getting us as inexperienced rafters down the river and having a great time. Would highly recommend

Amazing trip!
The trip was absolutely wonderful - everything was perfectly organized from pickup to return. There was plenty of free time to enjoy all the beauty!
Special thanks to our guide Kamal, who provided all the necessary information without overwhelming us.

Such a fun walk with our guide Tina, who introduced us to over two dozen murals in downtown Calgary, as well as some nice breweries. We were lucky to have a great group and the afternoon was really enjoyable. Would love to take a history tour with Tina someday. She’s incredibly knowledgeable.

EPIC Adventure
This trip was FANTASTIC!! Our guide Aashish was punctual, friendly, informative and helped us maximize our time to the fullest. He gave clear instructions with simple explanations that kept us on track. Aashish clearly enjoys his job and made sure each individual had plenty of photos at each stop to capture their memories for a lifetime. I can’t recommend this tour enough; it was money well spent!! The nearby parking eliminated the stress of finding a spot which alone was priceless. Leaving the driving up to someone else gives tired drivers an opportunity to to sit back and relax while someone carries the burden.

Best tour to cover the lakes!!
Incredibly smooth travel. Very well planned and didnt feel rushed at any of the stops. York our tour guide was kind, punctual & knowlegable. He took the time to explain the highlights, guide us to the spots with incredible views/hikes. He even did a bit of a detour for us in town instead of making us wait for Gondola pickup grp.

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!

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.

A fantastic day. Group wasn’t too big so didn’t have to be amongst heaps of people or wait for lots of people. Our guide was Ben and he was excellent - funny, helpful and knowledgable. It was a great way to see the main sites without worrying about car parking and travel.

We had an unforgettable trip with Ram. The whole tour was about 14 hours long, so it was definitely tiring, but it was absolutely worth it. The scenery was stunning, and it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime family experience. Ram was very friendly, patient, and thoughtful throughout the day. We were very happy with his service and really appreciated everything he did for us.

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.
