Outstanding tour!
We had a fantastic tour with Teddy today! He was incredibly engaging, yet knew exactly when to give passengers space to decompress after each stop. He was also perfectly on time. Also, in all my years of traveling, he is the only guide I have ever met who never once brought up tipping!
Tito was also great! Even though he wasn’t there on the day of our trip, he reached out a couple of days beforehand to check in. Such a refreshing experience from start to finish! I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Trips to anyone visiting BANFF!

It was great overall, be ready to look at rocks all day. I would adjust some timing, ex make last chance hotel shorter stop and extend hoodos. Zee was kind and entertaining. Bus was chill enough for a hot summer day, it’s not the best for sleeping but comfortable enough. I would suggest to add food information to description.

Sam was a safe driver....
Sam was a safe driver. Always willing to assist us in any way. Offered chips and water during the trip. Enjoyed the tour a lot. Both Sunwapta and the Athabasca falls were amazing. Peyto and Bow lakes were such awe to see. Every corner of the highway had great views. The tour was worth every penny we spent.

Amazing views
I had a great time on the tour. Our guide was super friendly and gave us lost of information. I felt super safe and welcomed as a solo traveler. Tht walk was fun short and easy. Was a little snowy when I went but some half decent walking shoes and listening to our guides advice of walking not the snow not the ice and I had no problems. He was lovely giving us recommendations for food for lunch. And taking photos of me. As well as answering all our questions. The natural bridge in yoho is very cool and has the blueist water I've ever seen. Emerald lake was amazing super green and cool to see the difference colors glacier lakes can be.

Great tour of 2 breweries and beautiful street art in many parts of the city of Calgary.
Great tour of the city of Calgary city art. Many talented artists leave their mark on the sides if buildings all over the city. We began at the wonderful brewery and sampled 6 different beers. Then walked the city to see the art and ended at a second brewery sampling another f is ur beers. The second was Four Dogs which allowed patrons to bring their dogs with them inside.

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.

No need to bother with shuttles etc
Ron and Cyrus were great tour guides, it was lovely to sit back and be driven everywhere with commentary and suggestions. There was some unexpected road conditions on the way that slowed us down but they were great at being nimble and fixing up the itinerary on the fly to make sure we could see everything. Highly recommend for a touch of everything!

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.

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.
