Stunning Views, Great Stops, and Excellent Service
We had an amazing trip to the Columbia Icefields and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience. The stops at Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake were absolutely breathtaking and made the journey even more memorable.
A special thanks to our tour guide, Sameer Mohammed, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts and insights about each destination, answered all our questions, and ensured everyone had a great experience. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the tour both enjoyable and informative.
We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies!

Great way to see all the hot spots in one day!
Aashish was our driver for this tour. He gave us facts about different features along the way to each stop as well as background information about each location. He joined us on a couple of the stops and helped us take group photos! We were grateful to have booked a tour like this as we only had two full days in the Banff area, it would be unlikely to make it to all these stops on our own, especially due to the limited parking with peak season. Note that there are no outlets on the bus for charging as well as spotty cell service at all the stops, so use your phone spraringly to conserve battery if planning to take photos.

Thank you
"Thank you so much for your kind guidance and helpful service! I really appreciated how smoothly you explained everything, took photos for us, frequently provided water and snacks, and stayed so calm and clear throughout. I’d love to recommend you to my friends!
I got your email address to send a tip, but it prompted me for a security password/question, so I couldn't complete it... I'm so sorry about that! But it was really a great trip. Thank you again, and wish you all the best and stay healthy!"

Missed my tour, but offered alternatives
Wonderful helpful staff. Due to flight issues I missed my tour. I was within the 24 hour cancellation window, so understood there were no refunds. They offered me another tour which did not work in my schedule. But I did get to take a bike and go out alone for a wonderful 1.5 hour ride along the Bow River trail.

Best tour to cover the lakes!!
Incredibly smooth travel. Very well planned and didnt feel rushed at any of the stops. York our tour guide was kind, punctual & knowlegable. He took the time to explain the highlights, guide us to the spots with incredible views/hikes. He even did a bit of a detour for us in town instead of making us wait for Gondola pickup grp.

Whole trip is a very...
Whole trip is a very exciting experience. Our driver and guide Habib is very friendly and knowledgeable. He provides a lot of information during the driving along with audio tour. He also provides cool bottle water and always explains details and reminds us of washroom breaks. Pick up and drop off are all on time. Definitely recommend it!

Rafting Fun with Kids
We had an amazing time rafting with Alex and his crew! Our kids are 10 and 14 and loved it. It is cold, and we did get wet, but it was worth all the fun. Alex was especially attuned to a medical condition in our group, and we felt super safe. The photos provided are great.

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.

Great trip good price
This trip covers a lot of site seeing around Banff National Park and allows time for lunch in downtown Banff. We got picked up in Canmore which was convenient for us. The tour was 9 hours, which seems like a long time, but since the tour included so many sites, it didn’t feel that long. We started with the Banff Gondola. Our tour guide, Ram was great. He helped us with getting the gondola tickets. You have a little over an hour up top. The scenery was amazing. They had outside observation decks and chairs to relax. You can also hike. Next we soaked in the Banff mineral springs. I highly recommend it. I felt renewed and relaxed after a 10 minute soak. We then went to Bow falls, which was picturesque. Ram was ready to help with pictures. He even did a 360 picture for us. It looks professional. We then got an hour in Banff to shop or eat. We grabbed some lunch. The afternoon included, surprise corner, Johnson Lake, two Jacks lake and Lake Minnewanka. I could be leaving something out. Not sure. We had ice cream from the snack shack at Kake Minnewanka. It was better than Cows in Banff. The price is right. I’d definitely recommend this tour

Amazing experience
Awesome experience! Our guide, Tina, was a wealth of knowledge about Canada and Calgary history. The art (murals and statues) that we saw were amazing and the bars we went to served amazing flights of local craft beers and ciders! Highly recommend this tour.

One of the Best Tours
This was our first visit to Calgary. The tour was fun and interesting, and we learned a lot about the city. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour one of the best we’ve been on. We even took her advice on a restaurant for dinner! Five stars all around.

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.
