An Unforgettable Day Exploring the Canadian Rockies with Anchit!

An unforgettable day with Anchit! My husband and I had a wonderful private tour of Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks with Anchit while staying in Lake Louise. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, and accommodating, and he took great care of us throughout the day. He showed us some of the most amazing sights in the parks and took us to a lovely spot for lunch in Lake Louise Village. One thing we especially appreciated was the care he took getting pictures of us together. We joked that we got more pictures of the two of us on this day trip than we have in years! He was conscientious about finding great shots and even took videos, giving us wonderful memories to bring home. I highly recommend a private guided tour because you can tailor the day to what you want to see and how long you want to be out. Anchit made the whole experience easy, comfortable, and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

A local guide makes the world of difference

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!

Loved the ability to get on and off where we wanted. The staff was incredible - they spent time with everyone individually to make they were sure you were going to get everything you wanted out of the day and included helpful suggestions. I would highly recommend!

Columbia Icefield Tour with Glacier Skywalk from Banff

JEN_S, Sep 2026

An Incredible Icefields Parkway Experience!

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!

Donna_B, Sep 2026

Absolutely fantastic! Thank you Conor!

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.!

Wagon entertainment

A well organised and leisurely wagon journey to and from a well appointed dinner stop. We had Sidney (May be the wrong spelling,) but a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. She kept us informed and entertained throughout. The steak was good and cooked as ordered and the side orders were excellent.

Athabasca Glacier Snow Trip from Banff

CALVIN_M, Aug 2026

Don't Waste time...go there before it melts!

Scenery is unmatchable. The information our driver gave was outstanding. Our bus driver narrated clearly and so easily while driving. He also was a very "even" driver....no quick starts or stops....just even and of nice speed to be able to take photos. Lunch was great. Our tour guide just did a fabulous job. He clearly loves the Canadian Rockies and knows the history.

Self-Guided Audio Driving Tour in Icefields Parkway

Regina_A, Aug 2026

Highly Recommend.

I would highly recommend this audio tour. We used it while traveling from Lake Louise to Jasper. Lots of great information and directions to fabulous points of interest. We would have missed these otherwise. The tour is GPS controlled so it knew exactly where we were at all times. Very easy to use – played through CarPlay.

Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Kourtney_B, Aug 2026

Well worth the money!

The cruise was super cool. Learned lots about the area. The history of the lake was fascinating. Holly and Cpt. Madeline were amazing too! There was a scared little kid on our cruise and they took the time to calm him down and tried to ease his worries while we waited to depart. Holly also later took a moment to speak with each person on the boat which made it all that more special. Gorgeous views, fun boatride, and great staff!

Self-Guided Audio Tours for the Canadian Rockies

Anna_N, Aug 2026

An enjoyable private tour guide

This audio tour felt like we had a professional bus tour guide sitting along with us in our car. The narrator has a clear and enjoyable voice. The downloaded offline tour did not require cell service (especially great since our area of travel had no service) and was self-activating at the precise points of interest. Learned some very interesting historical facts. Felt like a private tour that ran at our own pace. Very well made and most definitely worth the cost. We look forward to purchasing more tours for our future destinations.

Best tour for a first-time visit

This is a great choice for a first-time visit, as it offers the best of Banff National Park. We chose the private tour gave us ample time at each stop to explore without feeling rushed. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, knew the Park very well, and was able to use safe, alternate routes to get to points of interest that were temporarily closed. He also knew exactly when to pull to the side of the road so we could get the perfect wild-life shot.
