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?

Badlands Guided Small Group Tour: Calgary to Drumheller Dinosaurs

Marek, Jun 2026

Time travel trip.

Very knowledgable guide/driver, a lot of details and interesting stories related to the trip as well as the places we saw on the way to the Badlands, never boring. Amazing landscapes and views, fascinating museum. We also learnt a lot about the province of Alberta.

Kananaskis River Rafting Adventure

Amanda_C, Jun 2026

Definitely do it!

What an epic experience! Gorgeous views, level 3 rapids which were fun and exhilarating without feeling like you were in danger, amazing guides who kept up the energy the whole time! Would love to come back with my kids! Highly recommend! We had a very rainy day and we still had a blast! Pro tip- bring something loose and cozy to change into after you’re done- getting back into tight leggings will be tough when you’re wet and a bit chilly! Worth every penny!

Banff Gondola, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Lake Minnewanka Tour

Gillian_M, Jun 2026

A magical day out in Banff

We were collected from the pick up point by our lovely guide Gary. He looked after us all day! Accompanied us to the picture points and took photos for us. He worked really hard all day to ensure that all his guests were looked after. He was very explanatory about where we were going, some history, what we would see and do. He was clear and concise about how long we had, what time to be back at the van and where he would be waiting for us. He took us everywhere we had chosen and a couple of extra surprises too which was just amazing. He had 10 passengers and he ensured we all had a great time. It was a wonderful experience and I would thoroughly recommend booking this trip. Everywhere we went was breathtaking. We would never have been able to get to all the places on our own. Gary made sure it was stress free and enjoyable.

Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes tour

Shari_P, Jun 2026

Great trip good price

This trip covers a lot of site seeing around Banff National Park and allows time for lunch in downtown Banff. We got picked up in Canmore which was convenient for us. The tour was 9 hours, which seems like a long time, but since the tour included so many sites, it didn’t feel that long. We started with the Banff Gondola. Our tour guide, Ram was great. He helped us with getting the gondola tickets. You have a little over an hour up top. The scenery was amazing. They had outside observation decks and chairs to relax. You can also hike. Next we soaked in the Banff mineral springs. I highly recommend it. I felt renewed and relaxed after a 10 minute soak. We then went to Bow falls, which was picturesque. Ram was ready to help with pictures. He even did a 360 picture for us. It looks professional. We then got an hour in Banff to shop or eat. We grabbed some lunch. The afternoon included, surprise corner, Johnson Lake, two Jacks lake and Lake Minnewanka. I could be leaving something out. Not sure. We had ice cream from the snack shack at Kake Minnewanka. It was better than Cows in Banff. The price is right. I’d definitely recommend this tour

Excellent tour

This was a well organized tour that covered so many iconic places. We could take in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies rather than be distracted by driving and finding parking spots. The tour guide was courteous, knowledgeable, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. We highly recommend Viator tours.

Exceptional tour

We had an amazing experience with Rockies Journey, guided by Boyd. This tour exceeded all expectations and left me with memories I’ll treasure for a lifetime. Boyd went above and beyond to ensure we felt relaxed, welcome, and at ease throughout the day. His warmth and attentiveness made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish. He shared practical tips that enhanced our experience, helping us navigate viewpoints and photo spots.. Boyd also shared fascinating insights about the areas we visited, enriching our understanding of the landscapes. Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, and Lake Emerald are truly spectacular. Each stop offered its own unique beauty, and Boyd’s guidance helped us appreciate them more deeply. It felt like a dream come true to witness these iconic sights up close. The itinerary was well-balanced, with enough time at each lake to soak it all in without feeling rushed. The transportation, pacing, and safety considerations were top-notch. If you’re planning a trip to the Rockies, book with Rockies Journey and ask for Boyd. You’ll be in capable hands and come away with not just beautiful photos, but cherished memories and a sense of real wonder. Highly recommend—five stars! ~Elise R

Excellent experience!

The Calgary walking tour was excellent! Our guide, Chad, was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about the city. He also showed us hidden gems in downtown Calgary that we would have easily missed on our own. A fantastic way to explore the city—highly recommended!

Day of Dinosaurs & Hoodoos from Calgary to Drumheller Badlands

SMTanvir_K, Oct 2025

The badlands is a great contrast in landscape to the typical rockies tour. Very much worth doing.

The badlands is areally cool place thats worth taking the tour for. The scenery is vastly different from what you see at the rockies as a tourist. The Tyrell museum was interesting. It would be amazing for people that are more into dinosaurs. The hoodoos were the highlight for the tour. We saw some wildilfe on the way and our guid walid was kind enough to stop or turn back for us to take pictures. Walid is general very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I also liked the trip duration. It was not too long or too short. The only negative thing in the trip for me would be the audio tour guide that would play from time to time and break up some of our conversation 🙃
