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.

4 Lakes -our guide is highly recommended
Ray our driver and guide is fantastic, he is professional explain the itinerary well, kept very well to time and he went all out to look for guests who is late just in case they could not find the bus. Ray provided bottled water and afternoon snacks. We are all very spoilt. Ray recommended good choice of restaurants. Ray looked out for animals deer, bears, moose, etc. He is very friendly and make sure we are all comfortable in the bus.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
