Excellent Tour with Erin
New York City
Banff Town Walking Tour Includes Refreshment and Sweet Treat
2trvel, Sep 2026
Excellent Tour with Erin
Spouse and I spend two very interesting hours walking around downtown Banff with Erin, the upbeat, high energy owner of Banff Town Walking Tour. Erin provides local perspective, including some Banff/Canmore history, insight into how Banff has been changing over time, the inevitable tensions - both the pleasures and challenges - that are inherent in living/working a tourist town in a national park, housing, climate and workforce issues,...Of course, any one of these topics could be an entire seminar, but Erin does a great job of providing a high level overview and you come away feeling a little more invested in the community at large and the people who make this place home. We wish we had taken the tour as soon as we'd arrived, instead of towards the end.

Well worth the money and made the drive interesting!
This guide was awesome! It made riding hours through the Icefields Parkway so much more interesting.What was especially interesting were the stories of the people who first explored and why they came and the difficulties they faced. I highly recommend.

Sarah_y, Sep 2026
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.
