Loved this experience! It was so worth it to see these places with a guide. You get to learn so much about the history and geology of the places you visit! Tushar our guide was amazing and so well prepared to make the experience excellent for us. Everywhere we went was 1000% worth seeing! Our favorite place was Peyto Lake! Tushar even had spikes to put on our shoes since in early June there was still snow on the path. It was very well planned and I would recommend!

The tour was great. Our guide Matilda was fantastic. She let us know exactly where we were going and pointed out the wild life when she saw it. We saw a black bear, rams and had to stop the van to let an elk cross the road. The company provided us ice shoes that go over our own shoes so we would not slip in the snow. The van was very comfortable and the small group was great. Definitely recommend taking this tour. Thank you for the great experience.
Dana_S, Jun 2026
Our tour guide Matilda was fantastic. Personable, friendly, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. Its a full day, 9 1/2 hours. We saw so much. Pickup at location near you was convenient and on time.
Only negative was the tour bus was a little cramped.
Cecilia_G, Jun 2026
Matilda was such a great guide, and the views on this tour were unreal. We definitely got our steps in, which meant it was so nice to have breaks in the car and the opportunity to be a passenger while we took in all the views.
Jerry_B, Jun 2026
Very comfortable van. Knowledgeable guide. We saw so much in one day! Very efficient way to see the most beautiful sites. It was nice to be dropped off with no worries about parking or park passes. Smaller group made the stops easier. Do not hesitate to book this tour.
Paul_M, Jun 2026
Awesome tour. Lori was a great guide and took care of everything. She even bought birthday cookies for one visitor who was celebrating her birthday.
The van was comfortable and cozy with enough leg room for this six footer.
I highly recommend it.
John_C, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, Reuben, was personable and knew where to take us for unique experiences. He shared wildlife videos with us through Airdrop. Would book another tour with him.
Beverlyn_T, May 2026
Kyoka was an amazing tour guide!! Banff/Lake Louise/Emerald Lake/Peyto Lake/Icefields Parkway is ENORMOUS. Can be overwhelming to see all the hotspots in a short amount of time. So glad we decided to go on this tour on our first full day - now we get to hone in on places we would like to re-visit/spend the day doing longer hikes. Kyoka was very helpful with her tips and is an amazing photographer 😮💨 call it luck but we got to see a bear on our first stop and mountain goats on our last stop! Thank you Kyoka
Shelli_B, May 2026
A day filled with such beauty. 12 hours non-stop on the move from one picture perfect scene to another. And we could not have asked for a better tour guide, Moe. He was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable. I felt like I had made a new friend and would highly recommend him.
Annie_D, May 2026
A truly wonderful way to see many of the lakes. The tour guide Matilda was a delight and knew the ways to get a better view at some of our stops. And notably for Peyta Lake this time of year, being provided the spikes to traverse the snow / ice on the trail was perfect and made that hike easeful - lots of people slipping (and I would have been one of them). So many beautiful lakes that I would not have driven to myself in one day.
DEANA_P, May 2026
What an excellent day with Matilda. Loads of stops. Just the right time frame at each and Matilda was an excellent tour guide, catering for all needs, and a very careful driver. Additionally, the provision of crampons for the walk up to lake Peyto was a masterful stroke of brilliance. Thank you for making us all look like professionals walking on ice! And feeling safe! I would highly recommend this tour as it includes lots of sightseeing and is excellent value. Pre trip details and information were also very comprehensive.
C_H, May 2026
The stops kept getting more beautiful all day. So much to see! Pretty active hike at a couple stops but totally worth it. We were pretty tired at the end of the day but ticked so many places off our list in just one day. Matilda our guide was so kind making the experience perfect for everyone.
Patrick_C, May 2026
Our tour and our guide, Rueben, were outstanding. It is the best way to sight see around Banff and the surrounding areas.
Deepa_D, May 2026
The small group was perfect. Covered all iconic spots in 13 hrs.
Highly recommend it. Our tour guide Matilda was fantastic and had great tips for photo options
ReuelRaymund_M, May 2026
Reuben is an awesome tour guide. Very Helpful and accomodating.
Tour is Excellent Overall. Looking forward to another journey
Shana_F, May 2026
My guide, Lori, was amazing. She was so friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating. The sites were incredible. I was concerned about the longer hiking spots (I live in an area close to sea level) but was assured that I would definitely be able to do them, and I did! Also, they provided crampons for the Peyto Lake hike, which was something that was definitely needed, as Peyto had something like a foot or more of snow on the trail. Seriously, book this tour. It was really, really great. Worth every penny.
Jeffrey_H, May 2026
This is the very best way to see the main sights! Parking lots at the stops were full but the tour bus always got in. Reuben was our guide and he was wonderful! He couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive!
Francine_L, May 2026
Lori was just so amazing and knowledgeable . She planned the route perfectly that we managed to enjoy most of the sights without the crowds. Loved that it was a small group.
Elizabeth_M, May 2026
Lori was an amazing tour guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the day. The tour covers all of the major highlights you would want to see, showcasing nature at its absolute finest. The drive alone was spectacular.
Most of the stops are shorter visits, which gives you enough time to take photos and take in the scenery without feeling rushed. The final two stops do require a bit more physical effort to reach, so they may not be ideal for those with mobility issues.
If you’re looking to experience the most spectacular natural sights in the area, this is an excellent tour. The coach was very comfortable, and the small group setting made the experience even better. I highly recommend this tour!
Karen_T, May 2026
This is the best tour ever and Lori is a fantastic tour guide. It goes to all the places you need to go to see from Banff and we got to see black bear cubs, a large Elk and a Grissly bear with a cub on our travels to all the wonderful lakes and waterfalls. Such an amazing day with a lovely small group. Would 100% recommend this tour.
Miles_K, May 2026
Our tour guide Lori was awesome. She was very knowledgeable and did everything possible to make the tour fun and rewarding.
Tina_W, May 2026
Overall, the tour was phenomenal. However, there were two stops that we were excited to see, and we’re not visited. Those were Johnson Canyon and the gondola at Sulphur Mountain. I understand that Johnson Canyon was closed, but do not understand why we were not taken to the gondola.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you very much for your feedback and for joining us on the tour. We’re delighted to hear that overall you had a phenomenal experience.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment regarding Johnston Canyon and the Sulphur Mountain Gondola. Unfortunately, Johnston Canyon was closed during your visit, which was outside of our control.
Regarding the gondola, we would like to clarify that the Banff Gondola at Sulphur Mountain is not included in this specific tour itinerary and has never been part of the scheduled stops for this experience. We understand there may have been some confusion, and we truly regret any misunderstanding or unmet expectations.
In addition, because Johnston Canyon was closed, our guide made every effort to enhance your experience by adding two additional scenic stops — Lake Minnewanka and Two Jack Lake — which are normally not part of the tour itinerary. We hope these extra stops helped make the day enjoyable despite the unexpected closure.
We genuinely appreciate your comments, as they help us improve communication and ensure future guests have the clearest possible expectations before their tour.
Thank you again for traveling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to the Rockies in the future.

Beautiful sights and lifetime experiences
I couldn’t ask for a better guide than Mo
He took care of us like family
Charu_V, May 2026
Very interesting trip covering multiple lakes.Lake Louise was the highlights. Ankit was a great driver and very resourceful. Kept everyone involved with some interesting quizzes. And facts with general knowledge.
Rory_B, May 2026
Its a long and tiring day, but very interesting, and Ankit, our driver and guide was excellent at keeping the tour interesting and informative.
TeresaK_H, May 2026
This is a must do trip for everyone. Can’t recommend it enough. Our guide Kyoto went over and above to make our trip a wonderful success. She contacted us before we left to arrange a suitable pick up for us . She was very prompt arriving , had lots of information to tell us about places that we were visiting. Changed the timetable of lakes so we could get to Johnsons canyon and avoid queues. Was a very good driver and took safety seriously offering us crampons for an icy hike at peyto which for the day we went was essential. Made stops along the way to let us take photos of things that interested the group. She was a delightful companion full of fun and took photos and videos of our group that she sent on to us . She made our experience in Banff a highlight Top marks to the company for employing such good staff.
Tracey_W, May 2026
A beautiful tour of Alberta’s highlights! A long day, but worth every breathtaking view!! Wonderful Guide, Ankit was full of great insight and a lot of fun!
Pat_L, May 2026
First off our tour guide Rahul was excelllent. Very accommodating and payed tons of attention to all the guests. The vehicle we were picked up in was second to none. By far the nicest 12 seater in the business.
However is snowed almost our entire day, so that meant we didn’t see much. Johnston canyon was still excellent, actually very charming with the snow. Lake Louise we could see the peaks a bit but overall most of it was clouded over. For the price, had we been able to see everything, this is the tour. Just cross your fingers for no snow. If we come back we’re going to give this one another shot. Thanks!!
Charlotte_C, May 2026
It was a great way to see all the key sights in the Banff area. Our driver/tour guide, Anchit, took great care of us and was professional and personable. We were very glad we booked this tour.
