Icefields parkway tour
Tony was an amazing guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond with snacks, water, and showing us incredible hidden gems along the Icefields Parkway. He made the day so enjoyable and memorable. Highly recommend Banff Journey and Tony as a guide!

A great tour that included a lot of highlights in the Canadian Rockies - Lake Louise, Banff, Lake Morraine, Bow Falls, Lake Mineola. Luis was a fountain of knowledge and a great tour guide. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Canadian Rockies.

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.

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.

Excellent tour by Jesse
We had a great experience on our grand tour with Jesse. It was so nice to have the driving, navigating, and parking expertly taken care of so we could relax and enjoy. Jesse was so nice and hit the right note for being informative and guiding us while also letting us do our own thing. Definitely worth it, highly recommended.

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 Experience!
My wife and I really enjoyed our experience and the tour of the four lakes. Our guide/driver Kenneth was very personable and friendly. He provided lots of information about the area, shared insights on less crowded viewing areas and often took pictures for us. Save the parking hassles, it’s worth it to use a bus tour such as this one. Highly recommended!

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.

We saw a LOT of Banff in just one day. It was really nice to not have to drive and deal with parking at each location. Our guide, Ben, was really knowledgeable about Banff and its history. The lakes are breathtaking and we really enjoyed the view from the top of Sulphur Mountain.

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.

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.
