• 5Really enjoyed this tour....

  Really enjoyed this tour. Had a really good tour guide named Boyd. He was very knowledgeable on the places and surrounding areas. Definitely worth the tour to see all the falls and icefield * recommend bundling up* but it was a great day and time.

• 5The most perfect day out!...

  The most perfect day out! It was a long day out (10.5hrs) but the time passed quickly with everything to look at along the way. Kenneth was the best tour guide and driver, showing us his favorite places along the way!! The stops were perfectly timed and the natural landscape was simply breathtaking.

• 5Exploring the waterfalls, lake Peyto and slowly disappearing glaciers

  Our driver is kind and helpful and respectful. Knowledgeable about the place. I was the oldest in the group and it was nice to have young people with me. They were very nice too.

• 5Fantastic trip with York....

  Fantastic trip with York. Scenery was amazing. It’s a long day but York stopped at locations in an order that meant no long waits for parking.

• 4Good experience

  Kenneth was amazing. He is such a warm soul, very friendly, and kind. He had great spots for photos and even helped take them. He is also a great storyteller. I was very glad to have him as a tour guide. The group split into two for a bit, while some people went to the Columbia ice field, and others went to the Athabasca glacier. I’m not entirely sure which tour we were combined with. It did make it a little tricky for some of the participants. Overall still a good experience.

About Banff

Banff is a small mountain town inside Canada's first national park, set among the Rocky Mountain peaks of Alberta with hot springs, lakes and wildlife.

The town of Banff sits in the Bow Valley at about 1,400 metres, with Mount Rundle's sloping ridge rising over the main street and Cascade Mountain at the other end. It began as a railway town beside hot springs, and the Cave and Basin National Historic Site marks the discovery that led to Canada's first national park. A gondola climbs Sulphur Mountain for views, and the Bow Falls and a château-style hotel add to the river scenery.
