Great way to see Banff Highlights
Anju ran a very well-organized tour of Banff and the Icefields Parkway. We saw plenty of great spots throughout the day, including a few additional stops along the way. The weather wasn’t the best for seeing everything clearly, but overall it was still a good day and a great way to see the area.

An Unforgettable Thrill — Worth Every Second!

Half-Day Guided Via Ferrata Climbing Tour in Banff
E7577NMpatrickb, Sep 2026
An Unforgettable Thrill — Worth Every Second!
If you are looking for an adrenaline rush with breathtaking views, this Via Ferrata tour is an absolute must-do. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and thrilling. ​A special shoutout to our guide, Katsu, who was incredible throughout the trip. He was exceptionally friendly, completely professional, and made us feel 100% secure every step of the way—walking us through the equipment setup and safety protocols before we even touched the rock. On top of that, Tatsu took tons of fantastic pictures for us during the climb so we could just focus on enjoying the moment! ​The route itself offered a perfect balance: challenging enough to be exciting without ever feeling reckless or overwhelming. Iron rungs, suspension bridges, and sheer vertical drops made for an unforgettable sense of accomplishment at the summit. ​Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to step out of their comfort zone. You don't need prior climbing experience, just a decent level of fitness and a sense of adventure!

Such an amazingly surreal experience! Definitely recommend :)
Staff were very friendly and the overall experience was great. I loved meeting the wolfdogs, goats, and chickens. It was such a surreal experience. I recommend dressing warm and bringing an umbrella just in case. If you’re in the area, you need to visit!

Booking this excursion is a must. Don’t do it yourself because of parking alone. Doing it this way takes all that stress of finding a place to park away plus you learn some history and interesting facts from your guides.

12 Iconic Stops: Banff & Yoho Premium Small Group Guided Tour

Great small group tour with good guide!
Fantastic tour with very good host Anju! I had booked this tour, as I'm visiting Alberta first time in life and this covered several spots, including most popular Lakes Louise and Moraine, for which host had vehicles with licensed permit/ shuttle, which is required, as private vehicles are not allowed. Plus, hidden gems made it extra special, so highly recommended! However, I was tired and exhausted after climbing 'rockpile' at Moraine lake which is 100+ steep steps and while view from top makes it worth climbing, proper preparation (both mental and physical) is needed to avoid draining energy

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!

Banff to Jasper One-Way Tour

Great tour with informative guide
This is a great way of transferring from Banff to Jasper if you don't have a car. You can take luggage on the bus. We were picked up on time from our hotel in Banff and stopped at several sites on the way (including Lake Louise, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake and The Columbia Ice Field). Our driver, Norm, clearly knew the area and some of its people well and had many a tale to tell. He made a long journey pass really quickly. Lunch and water provided. Very enjoyable.

Banff/Canmore Moraine Lake & Lake Louise– Hike, Canoe or Sightsee
heathersX1444ND, Sep 2026
Fabulous day
What I loved most about this tour was we all were given the opportunity to split our time exactly as we wanted. My preference was less time at Moraine Lake (stunning!) so I could complete the Lake Agnes Teahouse/Little Beehive hike at Lake Louise (fabulous!). From pick-up to drop-off, the day was perfect. Bodie, our driver/host, was cheerful, friendly and professional, sharing lots of interesting facts to/from our destinations. While we were a small/quiet group, Bodie's commentary was appreciated. Thoroughly recommend the extended tour.
