My family is on an 8 day trip to Banff & Jasper and this has been the best part so far. First let me praise our guide, Bodhi, who was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable about the area and history, and all of his recommendations were excellent, particularly about canoeing at Moraine instead of Louise. What a magical experience!

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!
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!

Stunning views, great chat, squirrels but fortunately no bears.
What a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. Scott our guide was really interesting, knowledgeable and told us loads about the area and the natural world during the walk. The E bikes are brilliant, really easy to cycle and give you a good boost going up hill. The walk through the canyon and wood is incredibly scenic with amazing views of the mountains. All in all, well worth the money and thank you to Scott for making it such a brilliant experience.

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

Small-Group Guided Via Ferrata Climbing with Banff’s Best Views
rady2022, Sep 2026
Highlight of our trip
Our 4-hour Via Ferrata climb was an absolute highlight of our trip, made truly unforgettable by our phenomenal guide, “Big Rock”! Scaling the cliffs and crossing the suspension bridges offered an incredible alpine thrill with jaw-dropping views of Banff, but it was Big Rock’s perfect blend of expertise, humor, and encouragement that made us feel completely confident and secure every step of the way. The four-hour route was the ideal pace—challenging enough to give us an amazing adrenaline rush, yet leaving us energized rather than exhausted. If you want a personal, breathtaking Rocky Mountain adventure, book this tour and cross your fingers that you get Big Rock as your guide!

Our guide Ellen was a great mixture of being informative, friendly and helpful. I am 57 and really enjoyed this. Not too much difficult climbing but enough to remind you you have had a workout the following morning! Great value and the fact they let you borrow good footwear and clothing is a real bonus.

Amazing Banff Tour with Wonderful Guides
I had an amazing experience on the 3-day Banff tour and would definitely recommend it!All three days were equally enjoyable, and every place I visited was beautiful. The itinerary was very well planned, with enough time at each stop to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and explore without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and everything throughout the three days was well organized.What really made the experience special were our guides — Tammy, Andrew, and Layse. All three were incredibly friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and gave us lots of interesting information throughout the tours.Tammy was wonderful — very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the day. She explained everything really well and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited. She was also very helpful and took the time to help everyone take photos at the different stops.Andrew was extremely funny and a great talker, which made the day especially entertaining. He shared so much information and also gave us several restaurant recommendations. I tried one of the places he recommended and absolutely loved it!Layse was also fantastic and went out of her way to help us. During the lunch break, the restaurant was very busy and she helped us get a seat, which was very thoughtful. She also recommended a place for hot chocolate, and it turned out to be really good!I genuinely enjoyed everything about the three days. The scenery was incredible, I had enough time at the stops, and each guide brought their own personality to the experience.A huge thank you to Tammy, Andrew, and Layse for making my trip so memorable. I would absolutely recommend the 3-day tour to anyone wanting to experience Banff and the surrounding areas!

A must-do trip!
The highlight of our entire trip to the Rockies! We had such an amazing time on this tour - breathtaking views of some Canada’s best lakes and mountains. Our guide Nolan and driver Carson made our experience even better with their impressive knowledge of each location and super friendly service. They were funny and shared some great stories and anecdotes. We saw 3 bears and a deer on this tour too which was amazing. We would have loved to have a little more time at Lake Louise but you get to fit so much in in one day. We would 100% recommend this tour as an easy way to see Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls! No matter how long your stay in Banff is, this is a must!
