We highly recommend this tour. The lakes and vistas we saw were stunning: Lakes Bow, Peyto, Moraine and Louise are other worldly in their beauty. Our guide Vishal was warm, friendly and thoroughly knowledgeable. He expertly guided us to each location and shared great insight about each destination. Tremendous tour.

Exploring Banff’s breathtaking scenery was incredible, but our guide, Liam, made the tour truly unforgettable. His knowledge, passion, humor, and genuine personality brought the area’s history, wildlife, and hidden gems to life.
The day was filled with stunning views, laughter, and wonderful memories. I highly recommend 8 Iconic Stops—especially with Liam as your guide!
Well planed tour, our driver knew his stuff. Friendly, knowledgeable and took great pictures of us. We missed a lot of traffic and busy groups by reversing the order of our itinerary. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and highly recommended this tour.
Beautiful experience, our guide Ankit was amazing, very knowledgeable and professional. We couldn’t have had a better experience 🥰
This tour was worth every penny we spent on the experience. Liam was an exceptional guide with extensive knowledge of the area. Not only was he informative; he was extremely fun, engaging and animated. The van was clean and comfortable and Liam made sure everyone felt safe. I can 100% recommend this tour and Liam as your guide.
Tour guide was knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful. We enjoyed the tour and gives a complete view of the Banff area
Kieran was a fantastic guide. He gave a tremendous historical background of the area and its peoples. He knew what order of stops to take to avoid the crowds and waiting. He always had suggestions about where to go and what to look out for. We had wonderful time seeing the 8 different stops. Highly reccomend this trip since we could sit back in comfort and not hassle with parking and the Mercedes van was very comfortable and roomy. It was a top notch tour that worked well for all ages.
Liam was excellent. His energy and kindness was unmatched. He also had a great deal of knowledge about the area and was very easy to talk to.
Jack was an amazing guide and assisted all our needs. He was concise and gave all the correct advice we needed and what amazing views we saw. Advise to book this tour...especially how Lake Moraine and Louise have very limited parking!
He went all out looking for wildlife for me. We all enjoyed Liam very much. We had a very fun day. The van was luxurious.
This was our first time in Banff. It is stunningly beautiful. Our day tour consisted of 11 people in a comfortable van. Our guide Liam made the whole experience worth it! He was engaging, knowledgeable, spontaneous and fun!
The iconic 8 stop excursion was every bit of “ICONIC”! First of all I have to do a huge shoutout to our driver/tour guide: Kieren… he was amazing! Extremely personable, he shared all he knew about this beautiful area and all the stops we made, he stopped several times so we could look at the wildlife along the way… so knowledgeable and just an all around great guy! If you are contemplating this trip, don’t.. just do it! We saw all the gorgeous lakes: Moraine was my all time favorite. ❤️ Spectacular day and will hold this in our memories forever.
Every single stop on this tour was breathtaking! Liam did everything he could to make this day special for us. He planned our route to best avoid crowds, drove us right up close to each site, guided us to the best viewing spots, and took quality pictures for everyone. His energy kept us going and he looked after each of our needs. The lunch stop in Lake Louise Village was top notch. We were fortunate enough to end our day by viewing a mama bear and her cubs. What more could you ask for?
Great day out seeing many of the sights around Banff. Kieran was great, knowledgeable, helpful and generally a nice guy. All the sights were amazing, and it was a top notch way to see many sights quickly if time is short, or to give an introduction, so you can choose where to go back to
Liam was excellent. Had great rapport with the group. Would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone wanting to take this tour for a entire day. Great day for my wife and myself. Many thanks to Liam for a great day
The scenery is amazing and must be seen in person outside of a train or bus. Spend more time taking it all in with your senses and not trying to capture photo after photo
Liam our tour guide was amazing, very knowledgeable about the sites we toured, he was entertaining as well. Due to traffic and walking distance would not have seen the sites we toured on our own. Had an great lunch at Lake Louis. Highlight of my vacation to Banff, well worth it.
Did in one day what would have taken days to do and see. As the trip is named Iconic was accurate. Breathtaking taking, insane views! Kieran was very knowledgeable and enjoyable to spend the day with. Small group for sure way to go. Parked or dropped off on front row of most places.
read the fine print. though it's advertised as '8 iconic sites' in reality its only 6......didn't find out til on the tour..
The tour took care of all the logistics of getting to and finding parking at many of the sights on our vacation bucket list! They picked us up at our airbnb and dropped us off at the entrance to each park. We did not want to do any major hikes so there was ample time to see everything. Ankit, our driver/guide, entertained us with history and trivia along the way and was very accommodating to our needs (10 minutes more to go in the gift shop!). He was very good at telling us the best spots for photos and of taking many of them for us!! My only complaint was with Mother Nature in not clearing the clouds soon enough. Would definitely recommend!!!
This is a great way to see several major highlights of the Banff area with a small group of people. Front door pickup from Canmore or Banff.
The driver/guide was very focused on everyone having a great time. His name was Liam and he is energetic and has tons of information and stories. It was fun for the whole group.
Great sites (Liam also took pictures and made sure the group got access to the best photo places). Comfortable transportation and great lunch stop along the way. With the small group, Liam was able too keep us one step in front of the big bus groups without making you feel rushed.
Highly recommend the tour to anyone staying in the area.
Excellent trip. Driver was Knowledgeable . Ideal trip for seeing all the main sights and getting a feel for the area . We had adequate time at each stop.
Jack was great. Good information at each stop about the best trails and the best way to get great photos without waiting in line and avoiding big crowds.
Perfect way to see all the Best areas in Banff without the hassle of limited parking. You will have more than enough time to spend at each of the 8 places. We had a very knowledgeable driver Liam who was very Fun, energetic and knew the area well. Highly recommend - our favorite and prettiest stop was Moraine Lake!
Hits all the great views on your list with outstanding guides! We had Jack, knows the area well and kept us on time throughout the day. Moraine Lake is unbelievable and the photos were great. The other lakes and falls were great too, no complaints, well worth the money.
The tour was just as described and more. The experience was especially enjoyable due to our very knowledgeable, funny, and kind guide, Liam. He always offered to take photos of us which is good because we stink at selfies! We made the best of a rainy day, and Liam even went back to a stop in the hope that the rain had stopped. We went to Banff with the idea it would likely be a "one and done" trip. Liam gave us all the knowledge and photos we need to look back on this trip and smile for years to come. Thank you, Liam!
Fantastic!! The tour was beyond expectations! Liam was our tour driver, he is awesome! So heartwarming to see him really enjoying what he does, and share in his love of the Rockies. Thank you!
Guide Micaela was outstanding and knew all the great places to take pictures as well.
Lake Moraine is a must see, along with Johnston Canyon.
Amazing day! Liam was a phenomenal guide - he made the tour so fun even though we had rough weather for most of it. If you want to hit up all the best sights in one day (and without having to deal with parking/shuttle buses/etc) this is the tour for you!!
Comfortable van, competent driver and guide. Beautiful vistas. Provided excellent accessibility to stops.
We had such a wonderful experience! We were able to see all the sites we wanted to see in one amazing day. There were only seven people in our group so the experience felt very personal and interactive. Our guide Kieran was super friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He was also very kind and assisted my 80 year old mother in and out of the van. Loved that we could skip the parking lines since we were part of a tour. Also loved that we were picked up and dropped off right at our Airb&b. There was no stress. We were able to relax and enjoy. I highly recommend this tour.
