    Joshua was an exceptional host whose professionalism and enthusiasm greatly enhanced the overall experience. His extensive knowledge, paired with a genuine passion for his work, was evident throughout the tour. He maintained a warm, engaging presence and made a concerted effort to connect with each guest individually, ensuring everyone felt welcomed and included. Notably, Joshua demonstrated remarkable attention to detail by quickly learning and remembering each guest’s name, reflecting a high level of dedication and pride in his role. The tour itself was truly breathtaking, offering a seamless way to explore multiple stunning attractions in a single day. Every aspect was well-organized and thoughtfully executed, contributing to a memorable and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Banff National Park in a comprehensive and unforgettable way.

    Fantastic tour

    What a wonderful tour! Dave was a fantastic your guide. Even though this was my second time in Banff, I visited a couple of places that I didn't see the first time. Dave was an awesome your guide and kept us entertained with facts and games.

    Banff area tour

    Marie_R, Jun 2026
    It was a nice variety of places to see. Roger was funny, entertaining and very knowledgeable. Liked that he asked where everyone was from.

    The greatest tour in my life :)

    Jariwan_C, Jun 2026
    Bob is an incredible tour guide! We had so much fun and truly enjoyed every moment of our tour to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Bob's endless jokes kept us laughing the entire time, and he did an excellent job making us feel welcome. Because of him, Calgary and Canada truly felt like home. I will never forget the wonderful memories from this trip. Keep doing a fantastic job, Bob! You are a true inspiration, and you've given me a beautiful, fresh perspective on life."

    Highly Recommend.

    On June 19, Deniz was an exceptional tour guide who made our experience unforgettable. He expertly showed us the drop-off and pickup locations while sharing fascinating historical insights about our stops at Lake Moraine, Lake Louise, Banff, and Bow Falls. Deniz encouraged group interaction, helping us connect and learn about each other throughout the day. With beautiful weather gracing us, it truly was a perfect day

    Bonnie_C, Jun 2026
    our tour guide, we had Roger, makes the day wonderful with his knowledge and stories. We loved it all! How Roger related to each of the people on board was unbelievable.

    One Fun Day from Calgary on Up

    Arthur_S, Jun 2026
    Joshua is not just a driver and guide. He is a master entertainer. He not only told us about where we were. he joked around, and even knew the names of his passengers. Joshua also was very helpful with the limited mobility of one of us. He helped everywhere with the walker and made sure that we could get everywhere. I suggest that the lunch stop in Banff be longer--at least 1.5 hours--or suggest that we bring lunch. The only thing we could get in the time allowed was a pizza slice next to where the bus parked. I'll say it again another way. Riding the bus was not just "getting there." it was a show in itself, thanks to Joshua's narration

    Perfect Highly Recommended Banff experience !

    Dhiliana_S, Jun 2026
    My family and I enjoyed the Banff tour that includes the breathtaking Moraine Lake that we did with a short hike , beautiful Lake Louise ( which we learned the history from Joshua, our wonderful guide) and the Surprise Corner ( which we learnt the story behind it and will keep it as a surprise here ), among other things. What made the trip very enjoyable and satisfying was Joshua himself!! He is an outstanding guide who strikes the perfect balance between being entertaining and informative. He was attentive to the group’s needs, shared his knowledge with passion, and was always honest and genuine in his interactions. His professionalism and warm personality made the tour enjoyable from start to finish. I have been to a couple of Viator local tours before and I noted that what really made the difference is the local guide him or herself! For this one, I would rate as Highly recommended esp with Joshua. Excellent Job for Everyday Tour Joshua!!!

    Very good tour

    chris_M, Jun 2026

    Fantastic day! Alya was so much fun and the tour was timed perfectly. Great way to scratch the surface of this incredible area!

    Keep Mike on the Mic!

    Annie_C, Jun 2026
    Amazing experience. From the get go, we were greeted by Mike who was so welcoming. As Mike drove around the Banff area, we learned so many things about the modern history, geology and wildlife. Getting to each location was really easy and we even had time to have lunch just as long as we met back at our meeting spot with the rest of the group on time. Mike even gave us a surprise location at towards the end which really built up suspense and excitement. Highly recommend! Thank you Mike!!

    Excellent tour, a must do.

    D_K, Jun 2026
    Well organized and informative too, we really enjoyed our day. Joshua was very knowledgeable and seemed to love his job as a guide which really added to the experience.

    Lake Louise & Moraine Lake small group bus tour

    Fiona_O, Jun 2026
    Well organised tour to fit in all the sites visited. Our guide, Mike, kept it all on track and was very informative.

    Spectacular tour

    Fatina_A, Jun 2026
    The fact that it was such a small group and the driver Aylah was so engaging with us all made this tour amazing. Each spot was just spectacular and anyone coming to Banff should definitely book a tour to see as much as they can with knowledgeable tour guides.

    Amazing experience with Roger!

    Michaela_D, Jun 2026
    Roger was an incredibly knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. Not only did he teach us so much about Banff and its history, but he also made us laugh and was a friendly face! The highlight for us was seeing Moraine lake for the first time. Would highly recommend this tour and Roger!!

    Great tour!

    William_B, Jun 2026
    This is one of the only ways to see these beautiful lakes! Our driver/guide, Alya, was funny and helpful. Good information. Missed all the issues of getting there.

    A great tour guide makes a great difference. Book with Joshua!

    Erica_W, Jun 2026
    Our tour guide Joshua was extraordinary! His passion, knowledge and enthusiasm for the sites we visited, and his care and concern for each of the participants, not to mention his sense of humour, made this a truly memorable experience. And such magnificent and breathtaking sites they are! However, if possible, I would not book through Viator again. It was challenging to communicate with them, and I received inaccurate or incomplete information.

    Great day tour of Banff

    Pamela_A, Jun 2026
    Great tour of Banff. Saw all the key sights, with the highlight being Lake Moraine. Our tour guide, Roger was super knowledgeable and helpful.

    Booking Error

    Melissa_M, Jun 2026
    I'm a mom of 4 planning a trip for our family while working full time and all the other things of life. I booked our trip at almost 11pm Thursday wanting the first Sat in July. Instead I booked the first Sat in June. Due to my booking error, the next morning we were already into the 24 hour no refund cancel. Both Viator and Banff Everyday Tours would not help or refund in any way. I wanted to rebook, so they didn't lose out on our tour. They refused to help in any way. I asked for even a small refund or something to help justify still doing a tour. I was left with a very direct answer - no I was in the cancel window. I totally understand companies need cancellation policies, but this situation involved an honest booking error. What was more frustrating was the timing effectively meant I had no realistic opportunity to review the reservation and cancel within the policy window before it expired. I have 4 sad kids that were looking forward to this tour. However, our family cannot justify paying double. I'm super sad this happened, and sad that there was no remedy to help with my simple yet costly booking error.

    Our Day in Banff

    Steve_G, Jun 2026
    From the moment we were picked up by Rodger we had such a great experience. The bus was clean, the seats were comfortable and Rodger made the day go by so fast. He was so knowledgable and funny.

    Fun Tour with Roger

    Jen_F, Jun 2026

    Excellent tour! This is a perfectly planned day of breathtaking lakes and views. Ayla was a fantastic guide - knowledgeable and funny! My whole family enjoyed this tour, even the fussy teenager. I highly recommend this for everyone visiting Calgary.

    Dave’s Tour Group

    Samuel_R, Jun 2026
    Dave was very personable and provided great insight to the views we were seeing. He was diligent in keeping his audience engaged and was aware of their unique needs. He was great in arranging the seating so that groups could be together and not split up.

    Dave is a 5 star guide

    Maureen_M, Jun 2026
    Dave was timely with pick up and drop off. He clearly is experienced and has a passion for what he does…and quite knowledgeable about all areas we visited. He is clearly passionate about the Park. Dave also kept us on time:)
