What are people saying about Calgary

Lyn_Y, Sept 2026

Excellent tour

Our guide driver was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Beautiful scenery and easy access with the tour van so we didn't have any parking hassles. The tour of the glacier, lunch and skywalk are not included and have to be purchased separately. Pack a lunch if you can because options at the Icefields Discovery Center are extremely limited and expensive. The separate glacier walk was interesting but overpriced and the skywalk was underwhelming and overrated, but this tour was excellent and a great introduction to the area.

Great way to see and learn about Calgary

There’s a lot of walking and it got warm. Layer and wear comfortable shoes. Stay hydrated.our guide Ross was charming and gave us lots of good information. He kept us moving but was attuned to our needs (short rests and cooler shaded spots. Ross was an excellent guide. The tour was well planned out and well worth doing. Highly recommend!

Great company, tremendous tour

This tour company is extremely organized. It's a great itinerary and they keep everybody on time. A lot of good information shared about the sites. Luis was our guide. He was very professional, always on time and gave very helpful tips such as where to eat and where to go to the restroom in addition to his tremendous knowledge of the land. The bus was very nice and comfortable. They shared their itinerary ahead of time and stuck to the schedule.

Amazing Tour of the 4 major lakes in the region

This tour covered 4 of the best lakes in Bannf National Park. The spacing was perfect and some light hiking was great exercise. We had plenty of time at each lake and saw some of the other attractions on the ride. Kenneth was a exceptional guide! Highly recommended!

Lake Louise Moraine Lake Emerald Lake Yoho Banff National Park

Sanjay_D, Aug 2026

Beautiful natural scenery supported by inadequate facilities!

The tour was well constructed with lot of things to see. The sites were incredibly beautiful. Ben was very good in explaining all the sites and its features. He also gave us tips on restaurants and other facilities. Considering the number of tourists and economic benefits generated by the natural sites, we felt that Park services were inadequate for the number of people. Surely some of the exorbitant prices charged by the hotels, restaurants etc. should flow into better infrastructure like providing adequate restrooms, chairs and tables for eating, adequate parking and better roads leading into the sites.

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.

Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes tour

Stephen_G, Aug 2026

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!

We saw a LOT of Banff in...

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.
