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.

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!

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.

If I had one day in Banff, this is the tour I would have picked. You get to do it all a little bit and get to see some amazing views of nature. Our tour guide was very respectful and helpful all along and I loved hearing some interesting facts through the day.

Fantastic experience!
We had a wonderful experience on our trip with our guide, Boyd. He was extremely polite, well-mannered, and professional throughout the entire experience. He drove very carefully and smoothly, which made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole trip.
Boyd was also a great guide. He was very helpful, attentive, and made sure we enjoyed every part of the experience. He even helped us find the perfect spots for taking beautiful pictures, which made our memories even more special.
We also had a great experience with Viator. Everything was very easy, smooth, and comfortable, from booking to the actual trip. The whole process was stress-free and well organized.
We truly enjoyed our experience and would definitely recommend Boyd and Viator to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable trip!

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.

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

Fantastic!
This was jam packed, busy day, but well worth it! This is a great experience that hit many of the well known sights to see around Banff. I chose this tour because not only did we get to visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, but this was one of the few tours that went to Emerald lake in the summer time. Ron was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of the area and its history! He really helped make the tour fun! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to hit a lot of popular spots in one trip!

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.

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.
