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.

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.
Great tour, spaced out nicely so the times in the van are very tolerable. Beautiful views and the van was comfortable
This was the best most relaxing way to see all the top spots. It was amazing. I loved the small group. We had so much fun
Rahul took us around all of the major sites in Banff, the transport was incredibly roomy and comfortable with lots of legroom and it made the day much easier not having to drive everywhere.
Rahul was knowledgable and enthusiastic and I absolutely would book again.
The day was topped off with an unexpected black bear sighting!
Perfect start to our trip.
Picked us up and dropped us off at our Lodge.
Guide was excellent, very informative
This review is too hard. Rauhl was our guide and he was great.

This is a great way to see all the good stuff without the hassle of passes and parking. We all felt it was worth the price and our driver, Ruben was excellent.
If you want to really see Banff, this is the tour for you!! Liam took us to 8 different lakes and waterfalls, made sure we stay hydrated, and was very knowledgeable about the area. I’ve been on many Viator trips but this is the best one ever! Thank you Viator and huge thanks to Liam. He made our trip special.
Ankit was a knowledgeable tour guide and great driver. If you are in Banff for only a few days and want to see the major sites- this is a great option.
This was an amazing experience for our family. My husband and I along with my two children and their spouses totally enjoyed this experience. Ruben was our guide and did an A+ job. All of us thought the stops were amazing. Ruben did a great job of keeping us informed keeping us on track and was easy to have around. We thought the experience was the perfect way to see the most sought after places to visit in the Banff . We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND RUEBEN as a great tour guide and driver.
You must have a Tour guy like Mr. K☺️
Very informative, Mr K makes sure that everyone is good and he travels like me. Haha
Rahul was one of the best guides we've had. Very knowledgeable and we enjoyed that he accompanied the group on the various hikes. The sites were amazing. The perfect first time tour.
Our tour guide, Kieran, was absolutely wonderful! He was very kind, funny, informative, and prompt with the day's schedule. Evey stop was a feast our eyes. The lakes were probably the most gorgeous sceneries I've ever seen. I highly recommend this experience!
Amazing day! So many beautiful stops! The lakes are stunning. Our guide, Rahul, was very knowledgeable and helpful.
My husband and I are normally not the type to book a tour. We typically venture out on our own. However, I have no regrets. This tour made our day very enjoyable because it was so easy. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The small group atmosphere allowed us to be social. And, having a knowledgeable tour guide (Liam) added to the experience. We learned more about the area, and the guide knew exactly where to tell us to go for the best pictures/was able to take our picture. The van was also very comfortable and clean.
