Nice trip!

Yi_H, Sep 2025

Gordon and Rick took good care of us! Pick up information was given one day prior to the tour, everything is well organized, and we really enjoyed the 2 day experiences! Group size is small and we met nice people along the trip. We visited all the famous lakes and other beautiful scenery as well, plenty time was given during each stop so that we can enjoy, take picture and use washroom and buy souvenirs and coffee :) Definitely will recommend to others who wanna do multiple day trips but would like to stay in Calgary.

Amazing Tour with All Logistics Sorted

Jiashu_T, Jul 2025

It is a great experience with a great itinerary and logistics all taken care of. The tour guides, Dan and Dair, are helpful and nice. Dan was amazing, as he made a lot of effort to make the long travel time between the lakes interesting. He even hiked with us to give us a better experience. Dair was also nice enough to flexibly adjust the time in each place according to our interests. I would recommend this tour to others.

2 Picture Perfect Days

Laura_M, Jul 2024

Just finished day 2 of this wonderful tour. Day 1 Kevin took us to Johnson Canyon lower falls, and multiple other great scenic spots. We had lunch in Banff and the took the chairlift up the Norquay. A bit scary, but totally worth it. Day 2 Patrick took us to 5 of the most scenic lakes in Alberta! Both tour guides were knowledgeable and fun. This is the way to get around! Let the pros do the driving and worry about parking! We were even picked up at our hotel in Canmore. Great customer service. Lake Morraine was my favorite!

Great!!

Really great trip! Gordon was lovely, very friendly and knowledgable. The trip was great, the lakes are so beautiful and the mountains are stunning. The pick up/meeting point was really well organised. I had a really lovely time, thank you so much!

Did not disappoint!

Beautiful sites were seen. Tour guides Gordon and Murray were amazing for sure. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Incredible Tour

Jade_S, Jun 2023

Wonderful 2 days exploring what Banff has to offer! With a full itinerary for the two days we had a incredible experience with Kevin and his team. Whilst on the tour we had indepth knowledge of the places we visited and the mountains around them, offering group photos and catering for all your needs with suggestions for lunch, hikes and shopping whilst out on tours! Plenty of restroom stops for any nervous travellers and bottles of water supplied. I could not recommend this tour enough to anyone who wants to see what Banff National park has to offer!
