Really friendly tour - worth doing
I don’t tend to like tours, however, this one may have changed my mind on this. Our guide was Erin who was very good at keeping the balance right between talking when driving and giving information but allowing us space once at the spots. The spots we went to very fantastic, photo opportunities were amazing- we had really good weather. Timing for Banff gondola was really good. We really enjoyed the whole tour including the gondola which we will review separately. Brody was waiting for us when we came down from the gondola and was so amenable to the group taking requests for where to drop people. I can’t recommend this company and tour enough - they were brilliant

Our food guide-guru, Jo, was awesome. There were plenty of stops and drinks. The range of food was wide and varied. The conversation was easy and knowledgeable. Our party learned about the food, the locale and local traditions. We have done many food tours and this one was one of the best ever!

Go Canyoning!
What a great experience! My whole group thought canyoning was on the top of the list of favorite things we did on vacation. It was a challenge and out of our comfort zones. We walked away with our heads held high! Matteo was absolutely fabulous. He was kind, patient and supportive! I only wish they had tshirts for sale!

Amazing Lakes of the Rockies Tour
Thank you Chloe for being a wonderful guide on the Adult Lakes of the Rockies tour! Your love of being in Banff comes through and you provided helpful information throughout the tour. I loved all the stops - Lake Louise, Moraine, Emerald and Takakaw Falls in Yoho. The time at each place was perfect. I appreciate the smooth day, and the lunch that was provided.

Fantastic five stars.
This is an amazing experience. We had a great time. We learnt about Banff and got to eat some great food, drink some local drinks and really get the feel of the place. We did this at the end of our time in Banff but you could equally do it at the start and get the lay of the land and find the best pizza I’ve ever eaten! The owner of this business is lovely so warm and friendly and really passionate about what she does and the business she has founded. I would recommend this tour and her to anyone. It’s a must do in Banff if you are here. She also runs them in Canmore as well.
