Ride of a lifetime!!!
We rode the local transit there from downtown Banff. So much easier and cheaper than driving and parking there. We got there early and they let us change our ride time. Such a beautiful ride up. Smooth and relaxing! Since we arrived early for dinner reservations, we enjoyed the sights and the events held for Sunset Festival while waiting. Roasting marshmallows and listening to the solo musician was entertaining. The blankets and firepits were a nice touch. We didn't walk the boardwalk to the observation center, but many people were doing it. The Anniversary dinner we had at The Sky Bistro was fabulous. We sat next to the windows, being able to see the scenery during that time was something special. The drinks, Bison tenderloin and dessert were some of the best we have ever had. It was a bit pricey but worth it. The waitress we had was a sweet gal from Australia. She was fun to talk to as were the guests around us. The ride down the mountain was seamless, taking more pictures for memories. We viewed the pictures at the bottom that the Gondola company took of us and even though we didn't purchase any they were fun to look at. Wait time for the transit was minimal and we were back to our resort in short time. Great experience all the way around. We would highly recommend this for all ages going to Banff.

The tour was absolutely...
The tour was absolutely incredible! We were so lucky with the weather, but what truly made the experience was our guide, Liam. His knowledge, stories, and the hidden gems he showed us made the tour unforgettable. We learned so much and visited some amazing spots. He was fantastic!

Great tour
I was not looking forward to this tour when I booked it. Boy was that a mistake. To. Was a fantastic driver. His mix of facts and story telling during the 11 hours made this trip! Nick was a great tour guide. Always willing to take a picture and keep us on schedule. The day didn't exactly match the itinerary provide but that is OK because it was so much more.

First time hikers
We had an absolutely fantastic time on this guided hike, all thanks to Jeff and Mikayla! As first-time hikers, we naturally fell behind the rest of the group, but they both went above and beyond to make sure we were always alright. They continuously encouraged us and advised us to just move at our own pace, which completely took the pressure off and allowed us to actually enjoy the journey.
The hike itself was wonderful, and while it was definitely challenging for beginners, the view at the top was absolutely worth every single step. We couldn't have asked for better guides. Thank you, Jeff and Mikayla—you guys are the best!

Great tour!
Fantastic tour, the bikes were very comfortable and easy to ride. Saw lots of wildlife, highly recommend to do this tour when parkway is closed to traffic. Our guide Scott was great. Would be even better if there was an option to ride both ways as it was we rode one direction then shuttle back. Small group of 6 which was great.

Storytelling and Sunshine
This was an amazing experience overall. The trail was 98% covered in ice so having crampons provided was not only convenient but necessary. Sophie was an excellent guide and helped to turn a casual walk in the (gorgeous) woods into an informative tour. Even the drive from the pick up spot to the trailhead was packed with great storytelling. We got very lucky with the weather and had a perfectly warm, sunny day in April! Couldn't have asked for a better set of circumstances. Highly recommend this beautiful tour.

Great Night Option
Rob was excellent! This was a perfect way to send the evening. We went in the winter and not having to beat crowds or adjust to large tourist was the main draw. He was very informational and did a great job. The passion for this job rubbed off on us. Love the small groups!

Terrifying tales with the best tour guide!
Going through Banff and learning about the haunted history of the city through such a fantastic and informative guide (Jac) was definitely an experience worth having! Jac gave us the most authentic and truly terrifying tour of the ghosts present around town, and it was quite the night with how she told the tales and brought the stories to life. Definitely recommend!

Amazing Experience
The hike up was a lot to take in but our guide was great and gave us plenty of time! The rappelling, slides and water parts are the way down were an absolute blast! I'm not very graceful but had plenty of encouragement. I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Excellent tour
Great guide, comfortable transit vehicle, and 3 pm was a wonderful time of day to head out to visit the lakes because crowds were dropping off. The Discovery guide demonstrated much knowledge and had thorough answers to all my questions. She also took the time to point out the mighty but mini picas in their territory at Lake Moraine.

Banff Tour
My daughter and I had a great time! Our tour guide was Selina with Westar Travel, whom we had a great experience with. She was very kind and knowledgeable. The tour was a smaller tour, which was really cool and intimate, and gave us a lot of freedom to explore. We would definitely book again!
