Top Banff Private Sightseeing Tours

Beyond Banff are local guides who know the area, its history, highlights, wildlife and weather like no one else and this makes a huge impact on your tour. Their first hand knowledge sets them apart from every other operator. Quaid kept us entertained and informed for the whole tour and was one of the best guides we’ve ever had!

We had a fantastic day on the Columbia Icefield Tour with Brewster! Brad and Aaron were both wonderful—friendly, knowledgeable, entertaining, and great at keeping the day running smoothly. While they weren’t locals, they clearly knew the area extremely well and shared plenty of interesting information along the way. The tour itself was very well organized and truly included everything we needed for a full day of exploring. Water, snacks, and lunch were all provided, which made the experience incredibly easy and convenient. The itinerary was packed with spectacular scenery and, of course, experiencing the Columbia Icefield and Glacier Skywalk was unforgettable. Even though it’s a long day, everything was paced well and we never felt like we had to worry about logistics. We could simply sit back, enjoy the incredible views, and experience the Icefields Parkway. Brad and Aaron helped make an already beautiful day even better. If you’re visiting Banff and want to experience the Columbia Icefield without worrying about driving, parking, meals, or planning all the details yourself, this tour is absolutely worth it. Highly recommend!

What an amazing experience. Connor was the “host with the most” and was very conversational and explained so much about wildlife, and just great and fun conversation altogether. Everything went great, despite it being a little rainy during the first half of the tour. Fortunately, we were able to see some beautiful elk! We especially appreciate that Connor suggested “Peak” pho restaurant. It was a welcome respite from the cold.!
