    I took the tour on August 14. Our driver and tour guide was very knowledgeable and accomodating to all the guests. He also gave tips to those who does not have any activities booked in the Columbia Icefields. It saved me some money in the process.

    Icefield Parkway and Lakes to remember

    Gabrielle_C, Jul 2026
    This was an incredible experience. The drive along the Icefields Parkway was beautiful. Small group of 12 people. It's a nice sized, clean van with tall windows. We made multiple stops to the best landmarks. Many places I've heard about but didn't think I would have time to see, such as Bow lake and Peyto lake which were amazing to see and take great pictures. Our tour guide and driver A.K. was great! I would highly recommend this experience.

    Aasish was a great driver...

    Aasish was a great driver and kind person! Riding on the Ice Explorer up onto the Athabasca Glacier was an amazing experience. The lakes were beautiful too.

    A lovely day in Columbia Ice Fields

    Robert_R, Aug 2025
    This tour is perfectly paced and perfectly organized so there's not a dull moment....we kicked off at Bow lake at the perfect time of the day....it was a calm morning with no crowds....then onto Peyto Lake which require a pleasant hike to get to the view point....then we arrived at the Columbia Ice Fields to experience the glacier and the incredible Skywalk....Ross was the perfect guide and driver he made sure we were entertained the entire duration of the tour....this was my favourite tour of my Banff Holiday and I'd do it all over again....

    I went on a tour of Columbia Icefield. Harry was the driver and guide, but he was very attentive and enjoyed a lot of sightseeing throughout the day. If you are visiting the Rocky Mountains from Banff and Calgary, we hope you will take advantage of this tour.
