Bus was a little late but great communication through text and email letting us know of the delay. Driver was great. Comfortable drive.
Sukhdeet_B, Jul 2026
It is a good service at reasonable price.
Drivers were friendly and drove safely
I had an issue with the dispatch. My departure was at 4 pm. I was at a pick up point at 3.40. Van came in at 4:09 and my name was not included in the pickup. I was quite annoyed and demanded that they make arrangements otherwise I will miss my flight. They did make arrangements and all went well.
My advise is to give yourself a bit extra time and to Viator dispatch - double triple check your passengers list.

If your flight doesn’t arrive on time, and you have to wait for another shuttle, it could be a few hours.

Very easy to access from arrivals; comfortable ride! Driver was kind enough to drop me off right outside my hotel, saving me a lot of headache!

Great shuttle service from the airport to Banff! Everything was right on time, which made the trip completely stress-free. The ride was comfortable, the driver was friendly, and the whole process was smooth from pickup to drop-off. Would definitely use this service again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Banff!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Sounds like you had a blast! Thank you for your wonderful feedback we truly appreciate it!
Crystal_R, May 2026
He was timely and we got to our location quickly. The only downfall was we had to wait for the shuttle after the one we booked due to mechanical issues, but that wasn't the driver's fault. He was nice and got us there safely.

Appreciate your kind words and glad you arrive to your destination safely hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I had a very comfortable ride from YYC to our hotel in Banff. The driver/guide Charles was super helpful and informative along the way. In addition, the administrative staff at the airport, May, made our trip more pleasant.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your kind words Hubert and we're glad that you and your wife loved the service! See you again on your next trip to the Rockies

A couple of improvements. The shuttle left 10 minutes late. I had a bag and a snowboard bag. I was asked if I had paid for two bags, I wasn't sure and it was not clear when booking that I needed to pay for an extra bag. They should make this clearer when booking. After we left we stopped somewhere in Calgary for a pick up, we waited 15 minutes. Then we stopped in Canmore a town before Banff a 10-15 minute detour. I thought I had booked a Calgary to Banff that would take 1.5 hours. not 2.5 hours. Lastly, the windshield had an opening and from time to time wind sound would come in. Most people are better off taking the bus that takes less than 2 hours direct to Banff from Calgary airpot and buying their tickets at the airport.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Luis, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify that there is an additional CAD 10 fee for heavy equipment such as ski bags or snowboards. As noted in our inclusions, one checked bag and one carry-on are included at no extra cost. Items like bike boxes, ski bags, and snowboards are considered heavy equipment and are subject to the additional fee.
We also apologize for any misunderstanding regarding the pickup. Our service is a shared public shuttle, so we pick up and drop off other passengers in Canmore.
We are continually working to improve our service to better accommodate everyone. While we understand not every passenger may be fully satisfied, we truly appreciate you choosing our service and are glad we were able to get you safely to your destination at an affordable price. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Cheers,
ABestX| CANADA

My trip was canceled, I had to book with another company and pay extra -- since my original booking was made way ahead and was cheaper, it looks like the company's records are a mess: in spite of canceling my trip, I got an email asking to evaluate my trip
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We made every effort to contact you as early as possible to arrange your trip and provide you with options and alternatives.
We sincerely apologize for the cancellation, which was due to a mechanical issue your safety is always our top priority. As requested, we processed a full refund immediately.
We are continuously working to improve our services to ensure a safe and comfortable experience for all our passengers. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future.
Have a great day!
Carrie_K, Jul 2025
My son’s flight was delayed overnight and didn’t get in until after he was supposed to take his shuttle. They were easy to work with and put them on the later shuttle. The only thing that I would recommend is that they update their website for their actual hours.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Carrie! We're glad your son arrived safely and that we could accommodate your request at no extra cost. We're also updating the timing info on our website. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving you again!

We had an excellent experience with this service. May was gracious enough to accommodate us despite the fact that it was just me and my daughter riding the van. Dube was very informative of the area and dropped us off in front of our hotel. Overall, I would recommend ABest X to those who want to visit Banff but do not want to rent a car and deal with the parking at most sites.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you, Helen, for your kind words! May and Dube will be thrilled to hear that you’re happy with your trip. Our top priority is ensuring our passengers are well taken care of and arrive safely at their destination. Enjoy your vacation in Banff!

The drive from Calgary International Airport (YYC) to Banff generally requires approximately 90 minutes under optimal traffic conditions.
I strongly recommend this service due to its affordability, convenience, and the opportunity to enjoy scenic mountain views en route to Banff.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you, David, for your kind words. We’re so glad to hear you appreciated our service. Our goal is always to ensure our passengers arrive safely and on time.
We look forward to welcoming you on board again in the future!

The mini bus was easy to find at the airport just outside the exit. The driver was friendly and helped with our luggage. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. We will use this service for our return trip from Banff to Calgary.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words and recommendations, Alan! We always do our best to keep our vehicle clean and comfortable for our guests. You're always welcome with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

Shuttle didn’t show up. After the allotted pick-up time, a representative called me and said they were sorry, it was their fault, and they would get me a ride. An hour+ later, a driver from another company came to pick me up and informed me that they do this when there is only 1 traveler— not worth their resources to take me, so they pay a 3rd party to do so. I am appreciative that they did get me to where I’d paid to go, but frustrated that it was 1.5 hours later than expected.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you for your feedback, Lisen. The shuttle arrived early at the pickup location and departed early after picking up all the passengers. We’re truly sorry that you missed it. However, we quickly arranged an alternative for you, and we’re glad that your wait was closer to 35 minutes not 1.5 hours.
To ensure your comfort and safety, we also asked the driver to take you directly to your hotel, even though your original drop-off was Northwinds. While this was a shared public shuttle, your well-being is always our priority.
We’re happy you arrived safely, and we truly appreciate you choosing us. We hope to provide an even better experience for you next time!
Have a blessed day!

The shuttle arrived a good twenty minutes late, and the driver, in addition to driving very poorly, had his phone in his hand while driving.
