    Joshua was an exceptional host whose professionalism and enthusiasm greatly enhanced the overall experience. His extensive knowledge, paired with a genuine passion for his work, was evident throughout the tour. He maintained a warm, engaging presence and made a concerted effort to connect with each guest individually, ensuring everyone felt welcomed and included. Notably, Joshua demonstrated remarkable attention to detail by quickly learning and remembering each guest’s name, reflecting a high level of dedication and pride in his role. The tour itself was truly breathtaking, offering a seamless way to explore multiple stunning attractions in a single day. Every aspect was well-organized and thoughtfully executed, contributing to a memorable and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Banff National Park in a comprehensive and unforgettable way.

    A good day out

    juliehaddington, May 2026
    It’s fun , group together approach, if joining at Banff it should be made clear that not all destinations will be covered and the price should reflect this . The quality of driver bus and tour is excellent but this factor is ovwrlooked

    Breathtaking

    Perfectly planned tour

    Veronica_S, May 2026
    Our tour to Banff was absolutely amazing! The itinerary was perfectly planned — we saw so many breathtaking places without ever feeling rushed. There was also enough free time at each stop to explore, take photos, and enjoy the experience at our own pace. A special thank you to our guide Dave, whose knowledge, stories, and great sense of humor made the trip even more memorable. The music during the drive and the fascinating history he shared truly added something special to the journey. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Calgary, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Rockies!

    Harvey_C, May 2026
    There are many tours and tour leaders in Banff, but only one Joshua! He set an upbeat mood from the moment we entered the van, did a great job of managing our time together, keeping our group together, and was super knowledgeable about the area. His humor and personality made for an exceptional day!

    CaseyAnn_W, May 2026
    While the weather wasn’t the greatest this weekend, Joshua kept up the energy and enthusiasm. Come prepared for any type of weather. Joshua the tour guide was awesome. He’s extremely knowledgeable about the areas and doesn’t just drive you around. He gives a brief history of each place. I would absolutely recommend this tour especially if it’s your first time visiting Banff.

    Manuel_M, May 2026
    Because there are several options make sure that the rides and entrance fees are included if desired. The actual tour operator delivers a good service.

    Highly recommend Banff!

    Sherry_H, May 2026
    It was a great experience, especially if you want to get a quick view of some major spots in Banff. However, due to weather and timing issues, not everything on the itinerary ended up happening. I called multiple times beforehand after realizing Lake Moraine was closed for the season, and I was assured Johnston Canyon would replace it. I also asked if there would be any other changes to the itinerary and was told no. Unfortunately, during the tour, it seemed we were behind schedule, so we didn’t get to see a few of the spots originally listed. The driver mentioned we could either visit Johnston Canyon or Lake Minnewanka, even though Lake Minnewanka was already part of the itinerary. Due to the group vote, we only got to see Johnston Canyon. That being said, our tour guide Joshua was great very interactive, friendly, and knowledgeable. I just wish we had gotten to see all the key spots included in the tour that we paid for.

    Would not recommend

    Lois_K, May 2026
    I would not recommend this trip if you have your own transport. We only visited 4 places in the day with a stop in Banff for lunch not the original 6 which were listed on the itinerary. We mainly booked this tour to visit Moraine lake, 4 days before I received a message saying the Moraine lake has been closed since October and will not reopen till June. We felt that this was very misleading to be advertised in the description of the tour when booking as the operator would have know for it to be closed at this stage. The tour guide was engaging however the tour itself was very slow pace and we were made to walk as a group of 22 at Johnston Canyon which made us feel like we were on a school trip. Also as faster walkers this was very frustrating waiting for others as it meant we didn’t have time to explore more of the waterfall. We didn’t not feel that this tour was value for money at all and I would not recommend booking especially during the months when Moraine lake is closed.
