⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kieran was an excellent guide! He was patient, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had 3 children in our group (6, 4, and 3) and he made the tour a breeze. We enjoyed everything about the tour!

My husband and I decided to take our three adult children and their spouses on a trip to Banff this summer. After spending many hours researching, I was concerned about the logistics involved in seeing the wide range of amazing sites during the busy season, especially with parking and long lines mentioned constantly during my review. To ensure we saw all the major attractions, we decided to hire Vista Chase for a private, all-day tour on the second day of our trip. Although we initially hesitated due to the cost versus driving ourselves, hiring Vista Chase eliminated stress and allowed us to fully enjoy Banff’s wonders. The day turned out to be the highlight of our trip.
Our itinerary included Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Peyto Lake, Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake, Johnston Canyon, Mt. Norquay Lookout, Bow Falls, and Surprise Corner. Kiernan contacted me the evening before to review the itinerary and see if we wanted any changes. He arrived outside our Airbnb early the next morning, introduced themselves to everyone, offered drinks, and checked again for modifications. After mentioning our semi-private tour the following day to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, Kiernan suggested spending less time at these spots so we could add a visit to Takakkaw Falls, which was spectacular after several days of rain.
Kiernan created lasting memories for our family. He was polite, engaged, knowledgeable, and tuned into the various personalities and hiking capabilities of our group—ranging in age from 26 to 77 years. Kiernan would drop us off at each entrance, hike with us, and share the history and items of interest at each site. He seemed to know exactly when to engage and when to let the group absorb the surroundings quietly. Our family still talks about the amazing day we had thanks to Kiernan, and my children absolutely loved his company. This excursion was truly one of our best vacation days ever.
We enjoyed Kiernan’s guidance so much that we arranged for him to take us on the Icefields Parkway Tour on our last day. This experience was equally as rewarding as the prior tour. It involved a bit more driving, but the scenery was so beautiful.

We had a great trip! Robyn was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the area. We highly recommend!

Amazing tour!! Our guide Kieran was knowledgeable, engaging and so fun! Our family had a great day and saw some amazing sites with ease and convenience! Would highly recommend this tour!

If you want to see all the best sites in and around Banff in a single day, this is your tour. We saw Bow Falls, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Lake Peyto, Bow Lake, Johnston Canyon, Bow Valley Parkway and more. We also saw a large black bear and horned sheep in the process. Hikes, incredible views and very educational with a guide that knows a lot about local animals, flowers and history. Our guide, Robyn, was amazing and her energy and commitment to our learning about this beautiful place was amazing. She has just started doing these tours but it felt like she has been doing them forever. We had the best time. As an aside, we were scheduled to start our tour at 7:00 am. There was a terrible accident that shut down the Trans Canada Highway 1 for several hours preventing our guide (all the guides) from being able to reach any clients in Banff for a few hours. Robyn was in constant contact and we ended up starting at 11.00 through zero fault of our guide or the company. Despite that it has nothing to do with them (stuff happens) Robyn killed herself to squeeze in 95% of our itinerary in a 9 hour unforgettable experience. Her energy and enthusiasm was infectious. And to boot, the company gave us a 50% discount on our private tour because it was disrupted by this large highway-closing accident despite the fact that it was not their fault at all. We did not expect it and we did not ask for that at all. But we did really appreciate it. The quality of the tour and that level of professionalism because the tour was disrupted regardless of cause is why you should sign up for this tour if you are looking for a one day immersion in all things Banff etc. That was such a professional response that although it was not necessary made us conclude that we would never use another company when in Banff. Well done all around!

This tour was absolutely amazing!! Our guide was Reuben and he was phenomenal. Our family had already been to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. Since we had already visited those, Reuben added a couple of other stops to our tour that were extraordinary. Our entire family, which includes children ages 18-24, all agreed that this tour was hands down our favorite tour while on vacation to Banff!! Do not miss this tour and request Reuben as your guide!! Reuben is incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and a pleasure to be around. Reuben helped our family make memories in Banff that will last a lifetime!!

We had Micaela and she was absolutely amazing! Totally listened to what we wanted to do, gave suggestions and by the end of the day, we felt like friends!
Katherine_M, Jun 2026
We had Kieran as our driver/guide and could not recommend him more. TRULY INCREDIBLE!! Kieran is a fabulous driver as well he kept us very safe and was very aware of all his surroundings while driving in busy areas. He was very engaged with our family, informative, and flexible with what we were wanting to do. We were hesitant about booking a tour with so many spots and such a long day, but do not regret it one bit and would recommend it to any one to do. Kieran made the experience but it was also such a well ran tour all around.
Lisa_H, Jun 2026
Wow! Truly an amazing experience! Yuvraj was an amazing and very thorough guide! We could not be happier. The private tour was a perfect option for our small group! 10/10 would not hesitate to take this trip or tour again!
Karen_H, Jun 2026
Our guide knew right where to start to maximize our time and avoid crowds.
She ensured we had proper footwear for walking in snow and ice.
She was personable and gave us interesting information at stops.
She checked with us throughout to ensure we were comfortable and getting the most out of our experience!!

Wonderful tour of Banff! We got to see the beautiful lakes, glaciers and mountains all around Banff. Yuli took us on some awesome hikes and was very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended

Enjoyed full day Banff tour with Ankit
He is very knowledgeable and made all the effort to adjust the schedule based on the weather conditions and our interest.
Brenda_C, Jun 2026
It was a full day and a busy one! We had a senior and a child, and two adults. It was a bit much to pack in one single day if you're not used to walking/hiking, but it was not strenuous hiking at all. The sites are amazingly breathtaking, and our tour was so nice! We enjoyed the tour for sure.
Sara_S, May 2026
We did our private tour led by Kyoka! It was an amazing experience. She was very attentive and informative throughout the entirety of the tour. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and a huge part of what made our experience so great. She even made us a video of our tour with all the photos she took. I can’t recommend this tour enough!

What an amazing 11 hours we spent with Moe! We traversed several parks to spend time in Johnston Canyon, Emerald Lake and elsewhere. But the very best was putting cleats on our shoes and climbing in the snow, mush and ice to the top of Peyto Mountain (and feeling very sorry for folks trying to make the trek in sneakers, Crocs and sandals). Okay there were two favorites: Lake Louise was absolutely spectacular, unbelievably turquoise. All in all, we had an incredible time thanks to Moe.
jjulin_k, May 2026
Fantastic day… saw so many absolutely beautiful things. Our guide was a great driver, very knowledgeable and very pleasant and nice.
Miriam_L, May 2026

Great private tour visited everything around Banff
Tour guide Naveen from vista tours was amazing and took lots of pictures for us
Madeline_D, Mar 2026
11/10 would recommend! Anchit was an amazing guide, the vehicle was comfortable (and we were travelling with two guests well over 6ft), and the tour was seamless. Definitely an experience we will be recommending to others!
Jj_P, Jan 2026
Great. We visited many lakes along the way too. I would say summer would be the best time for it. I have not received my 5%rewards from the tour.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for joining the tour. We’re glad you enjoyed the lakes.
The 5% reward is offered and managed by Viator, not by our company. If we made any mistake during the tour, please let us know. However, if Viator did not provide the reward, that is outside our control and not related to the tour itself.
Gabriel_M, Dec 2025
Andy was a great tour guide. So enthusiastic and wanted to make sure we saw the sights that most interested us. Highly recommended.
Fidel_S, Dec 2025
Very attentive service and customisable to what you want to do. Excellent communication and a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The car was new, impeccably clean and very comfortable. We felt very safe driving in lots of snow. Rahul our driver was very family friendly and knowledgeable.
Judy_M, Oct 2025
Fantastic trip and terrific driver. Best way to see the sites in the Banff area. Picked up at the Banff hotel and returned us to the Calgary airport.
Colette_P, Sep 2025
A fantastic way to see everything in one day, would highly recommend to everyone visiting Banff. Ankit was our tour guide/driver and he was fantastic with great knowledge of the areas and how to avoid the crowds. 10/10 experience.
anita_r, Sep 2025
Great way to see everything in one day. There’s no way we could have done this all on our own. Vani was fun, informative and connected well with us. She was also good at giving us tips for future travel in the area. She was also very communicative leading up to the tour.
Julie_L, Sep 2025
We left the itinerary to Vista Cruise and it was absolutely fabulous! Rahul was our guide and he was professional, knowledgeable & very accommodating! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Robin_R, Sep 2025
This “full” day tour allowed us to see the highlights of 6 different gems in the Banff National park system, all in one day. This being our first time ever visiting Banff, had we attempted this on our own, it would have easily eaten up two, if not three days of our vacation.
While I would not recommend this tour for a timid audience, our group of 4 were all over 60 & contained 1 heart attack victim, 1 back surgery victim and 1 “pending” hernia candidate. Despite the physical adversities of our group, our tour guide coaxed/challenged us to power thru, from one beautiful park to the next. Speaking of our tour guide, we can not say enough good about our incredible tour guide, Vani. She was patient, kind, witty, friendly, well versed in the details of the various components of the many parks we went to and on top of all that, she was a great driver.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and highly recommend the tour if she is your guide.
BARBARA_G, Sep 2025
Had a wonderful day with Rahul. We read such great on-line reviews of Vista Chase that we booked a full day private tour for our family of 5. Rahul was terrific. We spend the full day visiting the best sights in the area and some that are not usually on the standard itinerary. He knew how to avoid the crowds and made sure we learned the history about the different areas and got great photos. The car we spent the day in was very comfortable and fit the 5 adults perfectly. We all had enough room. I would highly recommend Vista Chase and Rahul.
marysebren, Aug 2025
What an amazing day. Our guide Anut was the "Best" ever. Made our tour cover all the sights easy. Because of his great photography... we have forever memories. Highly recommend
Melody_S, Aug 2025
Our family of 9 spent our tour day with Rahul. He allowed us to customize our trip and even added a stop he told us we wouldn't want to miss. He was right. Bow Lake was one of our favorites during our trip to Canada. Thank you Rahul for making our day an amazingly memorable experience for our family...Johnston Canyon, Peyto Lake, Bow Lake. We spent a lot of our time at Bow Lake. It was beautiful! We even saw a grizzly bear walking along the side of the road next to our tour van. Memories for a lifetime!
