The driver Mr.Patel was the best driver we ever came across, otherwise all the others here are racist.

Amazing day trip

Robin_P, Jun 2024
The day trip to Banff was amazing! Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The whole trip was a wonderful experience.

Enjoyed the visual spectacle

Daren_W, May 2023
We really enjoyed this experience and the visual spectacle provided by Banff and surrounds. Our guide Sumit took a while to become engaged, but was very obliging with our itinerary. Our day trip was enough to encourage us to return to Banff for more exploration. This was a 10 hour long day trip. The only downside was on the drive back Sumit was becoming very tired and we were concerned for our safety with micro naps resulting in mulitple lane deviations. The car was quite comfortable for a long trip.

Response from Host, May 2023

Fab tour of Banff National Park

dmiska, Feb 2020
Highly recommended! Our guide, Rahul was the best. Personable, knowledgeable, and flexible. We did an all day private tour of the Banff National Park. Highlights were the gondola up to the top of Sulphur Mountain, which included a nice hike to the top, lunch on the top, spectacular views, and then off to Lake Louise to walk on the frozen lake, view the ice cravings and walk around inside the Fairmont Hotel. Also he included stopping in Banff, beautiful town, and also wanted us to see a smaller town, whicwhich was also beautiful called Canmore. Pickup was at 7AM and we arrived back at our hotel in Calgary at 6pm. What a wonderful dat/experience

Response from Host, Jun 2023

I appreciate your positive feedback. Our team takes great pride in our knowledge of the top destinations in Banff and Lake Louise. It's great to hear that Rahul provided an enjoyable experience for your group. Please keep us in mind for any future transportation needs you may have.
