We had the most wonderful time on our bike tour with tour guide Candace. Got to see amazing scenery, some elk in the wild and learn about all the best spots for a drink & bite in Banff. Highly recommend this tour!

Emily was a fantastic guide that took us to many locations for scenic viewpoints. She always took our pictures and shared a lot of history about the area. Would definitely recommend this trip!

Beth was a wonderful guide. We saw lakes, rivers, waterfalls and even an elk and her calf! The stops were just the right length, enough time to take a few pictures, learn a few things about the area and then hop back on our bikes for the next stretch. Stops were perfectly spaced between riding through spectacular scenery. The e-bikes made it easy.

Must do activity in Banff! We had a small group of 4 family members and 2 of us had weak biking skills but our tour guide Dylan was very patient, experienced and excellent tour guide. He took extra care and helped us through the ride and he offered us rare views, pictures and excellent guidance. The route was very scenic and beautiful. It is worth the money and a very beautiful experience. Will do this tour again on next trip!

This was such a fun activity to see the sights in Banff. Nick was a great guide. Worth the time and money! Loved that it was just our group of 4.
Elizabeth_G, Aug 2025
Wonderful experience- great way to see the beauty of Banff’s natural areas. Our guide showed us around the golf course, the Riverwalk, and Vermillion lakes. It was an amazing experience.

We had a blast with our guide , Molly.
She was wonderful providing great information and being a great photographer! The bike path provided perfect views of the mountains. Just perfection!!
Mandy_I, Jul 2025
Josh was a friendly and very personable tour guide, showing us so much of the beauty of Banff in just 2.5 hrs. We didn't waste a second, yet took plenty of time to take pictures at the top tourist stops. As a bonus, we spotted elk multiple times at the Fairmont golf course. We had an amazing day!
Ali_L, Jun 2025
We loved every minute of this! Even though it was raining, our guide was awesome and took us places we wouldn’t have thought to go ourselves. Highly recommend!

Joe Moon was an amazing tour leader !! He made the trip fun and very enjoyable . I would tell everyone to go . All levels of riders can do this !!
Maggie_U, Oct 2024
Joe Moon was the best tour guide ever! So fun and helpful. Everyone should request him as your guide! The E Bikes from Banf’s E Bikes were so much fun and was the best tour we went on! Will definitely do this again with them!
Amber_N, Sep 2024
Our bike ride in Banff was amazing! Our guide, Joe, was fantastic. He took us through beautiful trails with stunning views of the mountains and lakes. Joe was friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. It was a fun and memorable experience—highly recommend it!
Lynda_H, Sep 2024
We had a great tour with Joe! We saw Elk and even a black bear mama and cub. He made sure we were all fitted for our bikes correctly even my 85 year old Mom. She did great.
Marc_C, Sep 2024
Our E-bike ride was wonderful! Molly our guide was very helpful and great to be around. The ride was just the right length and we had a fantastic time!
Kathy_S, Sep 2024
We had limited time due to a family wedding so this private tour was perfect for our group. It was a nice intro to a few Banff highlights and much needed fresh air after traveling the day before. Joe, our guide, was excellent! He was patient, professional and conversational. We enjoyed his company and all the sights along the way. Plus e-bikes are so fun and worked for everyone in our group.
Only downside is that we didn’t want it to end!
Valerie_D, Sep 2024
Our guide Joe was great! He taught us how to use the bikes and took us on easy paths. It was just my husband and myself. It was raining but they gave us rain gear to stay warm and dry. We saw spectacular views of mountains and waterfalls. We saw a great heard of elk including a big buck that trumpeted. It was totally awesome!
Deborah_J, Aug 2024
As it happened, my husband and I had a private e-bike tour with John. He was a great guide, very concerned for our safety, knowledgeable, and friendly. The bikes had some minor mechanical issues, but not enough to take away from the pleasure of the tour. Would definitely recommend!
Catherine_C, Aug 2024
When traveling in the beautiful city of Banff, my husband and I chose to book an 'e-bike' tour through Viator. We met at the train station and discovered that we had a tour guide all to ourselves since no one else was joining us. "Ryan" (our guide) was enthusiastic, professional and very personable. We saw highlights like Bow Falls, rode through forests and ended our 2.5 hr tour near the downtown area. You could easily see why Ryan loves this area and how much he enjoys sharing it with others. Thank you, Ryan, for a great morning adventure!
Amy_R, Aug 2024
Best experience of all the activities we did. They have great e-bikes and the guides will adapt the tour to you.
Kirsty_M, Jul 2024
Would definitely recommend this e-bike tour.
Riding an e-bike was so much fun and Our guide made it easy to see bow lake and bow falls for photo opportunities. Wouldn’t have been able to see as much as we did without our guide who was very knowledgeable about the area.
Serena_P, Jul 2024
Our guide Joe was fantastic, he gave us all the time we needed to absorb the views and the ride. We were able to ride as fast, or as slow, as we felt comfortable. We enjoyed the couple we rode with.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Serena, we are so glad you enjoyed the tour. Our e-bikes are a great way to see Banff and as you say allow riders to go at their own pace so easily.
