The most perfect day out!...
The most perfect day out! It was a long day out (10.5hrs) but the time passed quickly with everything to look at along the way.
Kenneth was the best tour guide and driver, showing us his favorite places along the way!! The stops were perfectly timed and the natural landscape was simply breathtaking.

An unforgettable trip!
An unforgettable trip!
Having visited the Icefield decades ago, coming back this time was a unique and nostalgic experience. Special thanks to our driver Ram, who was fantastic, punctual, and very attentive. He made the journey comfortable and seamless. Thank you for the great memories!

We learned a lot from Our guide Ben. He also has a great sense of humor.
Though the weather brought showers and even sleet for a short time, we enjoyed seeing the beautiful Lake Louise with the famous Fairmont Hotel, Lake Moraine with the impressive rock pile and log jam at the edge of a beautiful lake with the snow capped mountains as a great backdrop. We also enjoyed the Emerald Lake and the Natural Bridge at Yoho National Park.
Ben also provided opportunities for the tour members to have some shopping at the town of Banff and others went to the Bow park waterfall/ cascades.
Ben also offered to take pictures for us on the many scenic spots we visited.
Great time for us!

Just do it. Tour guides...
Just do it. Tour guides are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Dan was wonderful and engaging. You literally cannot beat the scenery. The day started out drizzly and snowing, but it was still incredible. Once the sun came out, it was surreal. Again, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

Highly recommended. Beautiful sights!
It was a wonderful full day excursion with many stops and amazing sights. Enjoyed each stop. Felt a little rushed at Lake Louise need an extra 10-15 min if you want to do any hiking to see the views from above. Information provided by Sanjet our driver was great and he was pleasant and answered any questions anyone had. Worth taking a tour to see so many beautiful sights in this beautiful country. ❤️❤️🇨🇦

Habib is friendly,...
Habib is friendly, outgoing. Courteous. Enthusiastic and a good driver. He kept his hands on the wheel! It is clear he enjoys his job as tour guide. He played a taped audio guide which introduced us to the trajectory of life on earth, very worthwhile.The dinasour museum took me by surprise by its size and importance. His microphone was not working which caused some consternation. However his voice is resonant, his English excellent, and he made sure we could hear him when he had info to share.
I would recommend this tour if your group has interest in paleontology and the study of life on earth through fossils.

What an amazing experience! Definitely recommend.
I took part in this tour with my mom and it was one of the best parts of our trip. Despite the early morning & long drives, our tour guide (Steve) provided us with an unforgettable experience. Not only was he extremely friendly, but he was also very knowledgeable and funny. He provided us with photography and viewpoint tips, along with snacks and water. Steve’s service combined with the beauty of the rocky mountains created an amazing day for my mom and I. We definitely recommend this tour, specifically with Steve as your guide! :)

The Best Tour in Calgary
It was a very wonderful experience we had today! and aside from the beautiful scene, our driver Kamal was so good, so knowledgeable and so pleasing. Is it possible to request him to be our driver for tomorrow, for the Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary, etc… Ref. # 1351911135. Hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you.

A Full Day of Sightseeing
Viator is an easy and reliable tour company. This tour we took was very comprehensive and gave us an excellent overview of the Banff area. Our tour guide, Ben, was pleasant and knowledgeable. We would be happy to tour with him again. The only negative to our day was the weather. Clearly not Viator’s fault !

Calgary Walking Tour
It was a 3 hour tour with quite a number of steps, most had railings to use. There was a 30 minute “rest/washroom” time at the library where there was also a small snack/drink cafe. Our guide was very good but is leaving Calgary next week. However, I’m guessing since the tour is “pay your guide what you choose”, that most of them are pretty good. I do think it would be appropriate if the company gave some guidelines for amounts.
The downtown area is very interesting and the art is impressive. Even though not all the art was exactly my taste, the fact there is so much & it is so diverse is very appealing & interesting. Highly recommend.

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.

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

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.
