Great trip! I would definitely book with them again!

Sai_Z, Sep 2023
This was my first trip, and I was solo internationally at that. David Wei (tour guide) and Jones (driver) were both excellent guides. David kept everyone on time and provided great history and facts about all the tourist attractions we visited. There were zero logistical issues on their sides, the few issues we had were due to the attendees (left their bag somewhere, or got lost, stuff like that). The guides made the trip very memorable trip!

We have done tours with...

Ruchira_S, Aug 2022
We have done tours with Viator tours on 2nd July "Lake Louise & Yoho N.P & Moraine Lake 1-Day Tour from Calgary", on 3rd July "Banff Area 1-Day Tour from Calgary or Banff" and 2 days tour on 4th /5th July "Jasper National Park 2-Day Tour from Calgary or Banff. Tours were wonderfully planned & organized, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. On the return of the Jasper tour back to Calgary, we requested tour guide Mr. Allen & Bus driver, Mr. Hemen, to drop us somewhere near our Hotel but they disagreed, but the day before some passengers were dropped at Jasper at some location as per their request. We informed Mr. Allen that my son has an appointment in Calgary. To our surprise instead of dropping us at Ramada Hotel as per the itinerary, they took us to Airport to drop off some passengers to take the flight without informing us, this caused considerable delay, this caused a lot of inconvenience to us as we could not get proper dinner & delayed for the appointment, hence we got down at Airport & took a taxi to our Hotel. It is requested to look into the matter and do needful.

Bad Misguiding experience

The guide misguided us saying no one is going to get the glacier tour. They asked us to not go when it was included in the itinerary. Later we had to wait doing nothing for people who went on the glacier tour

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear about your bad experience. Your feedback is very important to us and we wish to assure you that we take all comments seriously and we will address these issues accordingly. However, the package without optional activity was chosen on Viator where the admission option was provided. As our product described, we will be stopping at Columbia Icefield for 3 hours. As this is a share tour, waiting for other guests are the nature of this kind of traveling. Additionally, during this peak season with high demand, it is highly possible that customers can not add tickets if they did not purchase ahead. Our tour guide suggested you to try skywalk as that was the only available activity at the time. The admission ticket availability is just beyond our control. We try everything we can to provide smooth journey and experience. Our tour guide even offered a free airport drop off which does not include in this package. Although you did not leave us a good review even with extra services, we would greatly appreciate the opportunity in the future to turn your experience around. Thank you and Regards, Calgary Tours

Deux journée incroyable à Banff et Jasper !

Losa_B, Jun 2024
Ça a été deux journées incroyables ! C'est une excursion idéale pour voir certains des plus beaux lieux du parc national de Jasper. Le guide a beaucoup apporté pendant ces deux journées (explications, anecdotes). Les employés du parc sont également adorables et apportent beaucoup aux visites des lieux iconiques des Rocheuses. Je recommande !
