This was an outstanding experience for the entire family. Our guide, LAYSE was outstanding. She was so kind patient professional, and really was knowledgeable about the experience and what we were going to see. Our experience at the gondola was outstanding and lake Louise, and Moraine Lake oh my gosh, we’re both amazing. Cannot recommend this highly enough for our guide highly enough first class all the way.

We saw a LOT of Banff in just one day. It was really nice to not have to drive and deal with parking at each location. Our guide, Ben, was really knowledgeable about Banff and its history. The lakes are breathtaking and we really enjoyed the view from the top of Sulphur Mountain.

It was the first time we visited to Banff, but it was so rainy that we could not go to Lake Moraine. If they could provide us umbrella or rain coat, we could have experienced more pleasantly.

Way to do Banff and beyond!

Diane_U, Sep 2026
Would not have know where to go or how to manage traffic and parking. Our guide, Sammy was great! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! The sights were stunning and the trip delightful!

Excellent tour highly recommend so much of Banff activities/sires packed into one tour but plenty of time at all stops. Wonderful driver/guide Samuel very informative and entertaining

A Full Day of Sightseeing

Robin_M, Sep 2026
Viator is an easy and reliable tour company. This tour we took was very comprehensive and gave us an excellent overview of the Banff area. Our tour guide, Ben, was pleasant and knowledgeable. We would be happy to tour with him again. The only negative to our day was the weather. Clearly not Viator’s fault !

Best Tour Guide Laysee

An Unforgettable Rocky Mountain Adventure with Ben! 🏔️✨

Anupama_T, Sep 2026
We had an amazing experience on our Rocky Mountain tour! The entire trip was beautifully organized, and we got to see some absolutely breathtaking views and beautiful lakes. Everything was well planned, and it was a great way to explore the Rockies without having to worry about the details. A special shoutout to our tour guide, Ben, who made the experience even better. He was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and kept the whole group engaged throughout the day. He shared interesting information about the places we visited and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the trip. You could really tell that he enjoys what he does. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and definitely a highlight of our trip to Alberta. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Ben as your guide, you’re in great hands! 🏔️❤️

Amazing experience. Knowledgeable guide. Best sights! Couldn’t ask for better. Would recommend and would do again!

Good Trip

Sandy_W, Sep 2026
The trip has you staying downtown Banff for an hour for lunch which could be substituted for another experience...maybe Johnston Canyon? The Surprise Corner was a nice addition.

Great experience!

Sophi_F, Sep 2026
Great way to get to see so many iconic sites in Banff! Our guide was knowledgeable and sweet! Would definitely do it again - especially as a first time visitor to the area!

Banff Tour

Katelyn_C, Aug 2026
This is my second time to visit Banff. This tour is the best way to see Banff!!! Ben was a phenomenal tour guide.

Bring your lunch if your plan is the Village stop

Laura_W, Aug 2026
A wonderful experience even though the first choice tour wasn't available due to people numbers. Our guide, Sammy, was entertaining informative and a good driver. I would choose him again. The outline of the trip could have been better. We saw Lake Louise and Morraine first in the morning which are leisure walking and colder climates and Johnston Canyon after lunch which is uphill walk in much warmer climate. It would be better if they were switched!! Plus the lunch place in the Village was a bus stop basically, there was not enough seating for eating and not enough choices of good places to eat. We chose Laggans which was ok but we had to stand in line 20 minutes and rush to eat to meet the bus in 45 minutes (20 minutes in line at washroom). I suggest bringing your own lunch!! Day ended in Banff town for 30 minutes to cruise through the beautiful shops and eateries that looked so amazing but we couldn't touch because we only had 30 minutes. This would be a great place to eat! Then we headed back to town with Sammy. He was great, so all in, it was 4/5. Thanks.

Amazing

Aileen_E, Aug 2026

Banff and lakes tour

Stacy_M, Jul 2026
It was great not having to drive. Easy access to the lakes, which have limited access with vehicles. The gondola ride was great and easy ticket access. Wish we had a tiny bit more time to explore Banff town for lunch and shopping.

Beautiful Trip

Great guide/bus driver. Awesome stops with plenty of time allowed. Only complaint is the AC on the bus was not working properly so back of the bus was hot. Out driver tried to fix with new fuse but did not help.
