It sounds like you're ready for an epic adventure! Those spots are absolutely gorgeous, and you’re right, each one has its own kind of magic. Emerald Lake with its deep green water looks almost unreal, and hiking through Johnston Canyon with the waterfalls has that perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty. Are you more into exploring on your own, or do you prefer the structure of a tour where everything’s mapped out for you? Both have their perks, but if you’re a bit of a photographer or like to take your time at each spot, solo exploration can be pretty freeing. What kind of vibes are you hoping to get out of the trip? Are you all about the scenic views, or do you also want to get into some hiking or activities?

Best Pacakage

We had an excellent experience with the tour package covering Athabasca Falls and the Ice Bubble tour. The entire trip was very well organized, comfortable, and enjoyable from start to finish. A special appreciation to our guide, who was extremely supportive, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the journey. The guide explained every location clearly, helped us with photos, ensured everyone’s safety, and made the experience memorable and stress-free. Athabasca Falls was breathtaking, and the Ice Bubble experience was truly unforgettable. The overall coordination, transportation, timing, and hospitality were excellent. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Canadian Rockies with a professional and caring team. Thank you for making our trip so special!

It was an absolutely great trip. Beautiful sites. Sam our guide and driver was very friendly, helpful and went out of his way to take us to all the breathtaking sites on the itinerary and even one more on our way back. Kudos to Sam for his thoughtfulness in navigating thru some tough terrain!

Educational tour.

I loved the walking tour very educational. Our tour guide Tina tried to show all the nice places downtown. The only thing I didn’t like was maneuvering lots of stairs. Just be ready to do 5 k . This is not for older people if you’re not fit. Would recommend this to all though.

Comprehensive, well-paced tour of Drumheller and Midlands Provincial Park

This is a wonderfully comprehensive tour of the Drumheller/Badlands region. It is well-paced and covers a lot of ground. The Royal Tyrell Museum is the undisputed highlight of the tour. Raj is a great guide and conversationalist, both informative and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Drumheller and the Badlands.

Great tour and guide was...

Great tour and guide was fun. His name was Sammy and we really had a nice time. Some tours are extremely long and by the end of it you are ready for it to be over, this tour was a nice amount of time without being too long. We did the pick up in Banff, so if you are doing Calgary you need to add on an extra 1.5 hours to each end of the trip time.

Go if you want a bus driver

Guide was friendly but while we appreciate the safe driving, the tour was more of a hop on/ hop off bus. She did give us history and information but most of our 4 stops were shortened: Marble canyon was 25-30 min (instead of 45 min), Lake Louise was 40 min (instead of 1 hour as described in the tour description), and Natural Bridge was completely skipped all together with no alternative spot so we got back to Banff super early around 3 pm (we started the tour 10 am). We were 2 passengers but only given 1 gift tote bag (I guess since we were together) when she had 3 totes for 3 passengers.

Did the tour with my mom...

Did the tour with my mom and we were the only ones on this tour. So as an introvert, this was a dream come true. Jazz was our guide, he was nice enough to ask us which Lakes we wanted to visit so he could create an itinerary based around what exactly we wanted. We had such a wonderful experience during the 6 hours we spent together. I definitely recommend wearing proper winter boots, because some of the lakes do require you to hike up so winter boots with traction is best or get spikes and mines were worn out so Jazz had to help me down a couple of sloops. I was really looking forward to the Icefields Parkway but because of the weather it was closed, so that was out of Jazz’s control, but we had a good time nonetheless!

Great tour with Jay - excellent tour guide and careful driver

Jay was our extremely friendly driver and guide on our tour to Banff, and he truly made our trip a memorable one. He had vast knowledge about the area and generously shared interesting stories and insights throughout the journey. He was also very attentive to our comfort and well-being, always checking in to make sure everyone was enjoying the trip. Jay showed great patience, even when some people were late returning to the bus, and his photographic skills were amazing — he helped us capture some beautiful moments. We are visiting from New Zealand, and it was lovely to hear that he remembered many places there from his own visit long ago. I would highly recommend Jay for your next tour in Calgary!

Best Guide who can make a fun joke.

A guide was super friendly and she made us comfortable and fun throughout the tour by telling us fun stories with lots of joke like it is her first time to go moraine lake etc. And she was super punctual and kind. I would highly recommend this tour. This tour was the best one as they don't charge for little kids (2 y/o and 3 y/o) Family with kids can save a lot if you choose this one

Incredible!!!!

Absolutely the best experience of my life!! I was a little nervous at first, but I’m SO glad I went through with it. From check-in to returning back to base, the crew made me feel completely at ease. Our guides, Rachel and Tim, kept us laughing the whole way and made the journey unforgettable. I will 100% be booking another tour with this group—and I highly recommend you do the same!
