This was a wonderful trip the guide Antkin was pleasant, professional, helpful! He took into consideration our needs all day long! He had fun facts to share to pass the time between stops. Highly recommend this tour to anyone we definitely were able to capture the beauty of Banff. Coming from Arizona the contrast was spectacular. We will be back.

We highly recommend this tour. The lakes and vistas we saw were stunning: Lakes Bow, Peyto, Moraine and Louise are other worldly in their beauty. Our guide Vishal was warm, friendly and thoroughly knowledgeable. He expertly guided us to each location and shared great insight about each destination. Tremendous tour.

Janelle_S, Sept 2026
This was an amazing experience for our family. My husband and I along with my two children and their spouses totally enjoyed this experience. Ruben was our guide and did an A+ job. All of us thought the stops were amazing. Ruben did a great job of keeping us informed keeping us on track and was easy to have around. We thought the experience was the perfect way to see the most sought after places to visit in the Banff . We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUEBEN as a great tour guide and driver.

Our tour guide, Kieran, was absolutely wonderful! He was very kind, funny, informative, and prompt with the day's schedule. Evey stop was a feast our eyes. The lakes were probably the most gorgeous sceneries I've ever seen. I highly recommend this experience!

Melissa_G, Aug 2026
My husband and I are normally not the type to book a tour. We typically venture out on our own. However, I have no regrets. This tour made our day very enjoyable because it was so easy. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The small group atmosphere allowed us to be social. And, having a knowledgeable tour guide (Liam) added to the experience. We learned more about the area, and the guide knew exactly where to tell us to go for the best pictures/was able to take our picture. The van was also very comfortable and clean.

Ask for LIAM as your guide and you’ll be SO happy. What a terrific guide to show us the beauty of the lakes and mountains. We enjoyed the 12 person shuttle….perfect

Created wonderful memories

Marjorie_R, Aug 2026
K was a wonderful guide. He not only shared information about stops we made but changed up the itinerary, so we would avoid rain. He was very caring that everyone have a good experience, including one individual on our tour who had physical limitations. Wonderful guide.

During peak summer season...

Carol_C, Aug 2026
During peak summer season this is best way to see all the key sites around Banff. No need to worry about driving in unfamiliar mountains, know when and where to get parking- just sit back and have your camera ready for unbelievable views and animal sightings. Note that only in an approved tour could anyone see Lake Moraine. All other access is not permitted during summer peak. This and Johnston Canyon were tops for husband and I- plus meeting and enjoying 10 other travelers from around the world. Highly recommend this tour and if lucky to get Jack as your driver and lead- you’ll learn a great deal and enjoy his Australian warmth.

Awesome day exploring Banff!

brigid_c, Aug 2026
Liam was an energetic , informative guide on this great overview of the Banff area that includes many stops that gives you the wide variety of things to do in this area! Liam was so much fun and everyone on the tour (that was wildly diverse in nationalities) were all having a great time!

Our experience with this package tour was amazing. Our tour guide Ankit was amazing, Knowledgeable and knew the right spots. We visited right after the wild fires and some of the views were not as expected. But Ankit ensured he took us to the best spots where we could still have good views and make great memories. Over all a very good experience that was hassle free and also worth every $ spent

Cathleen_S, Aug 2026
Our driver was Anchit. He was excellent and very helpful. However, you may get stuck in the van with someone else’s very young children in the bus with you for 12 hours. I think it would be better separating those traveling with children, and those who are not.
