5.00I had an amazing experience with Wild Northern Journey Tours on our tour of Banff National Park. Our guide, Andy, was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable, informative, and passionate about the area. Throughout the day, he shared fascinating information about the park, wildlife, and local history, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Andy went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much as possible and never made us feel rushed. He genuinely cared that everyone had a great time and worked hard to give us the best experience possible. His enthusiasm, professionalism, and attention to detail made this one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend Wild Northern Journey Tours, and if you have the opportunity to tour with Andy, you're in for an unforgettable experience!
A great Banff tour!

5.00We had a wonderful experience. The tour itself was 10+ hours and covered close to a dozen stops. All of the stops were spectacular. Anju, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with for the day. Additionally, she had a couple of stops that were not on the itinerary and circled back to a previous stop so my son could purchase a souvenir. Outstanding day!

5.00Anju was an amazing guide! She took me through some of the most beautiful spots I’ve ever seen! She was so knowledgeable and we saw so much wildlife! This company made me feel cared for as a solo female traveler, and I had so much fun! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who doesn’t want to feel rushed on vacation. My all time favorite lake was Peyto lake and the Johnston canyon hike was incredible! You will have a blast on this trip. It truly felt like a once in a lifetime experience.
