The tour was great for a solo travelling trip. Our tour guide, Kenneth, did an amazing job and shared some interesting facts about Banff and Jasper National Parks.

Had a great time on the tour. The Icefields Parkway is stunning in the winter, and I can’t wait to come back to see it in warmer weather. Our tour guide, Kenneth, did a great job at making sure everyone was comfortable and had what they needed (water, crampons). He provided a lot of really helpful information about the area. Yes, it’s a long day, but it’s so worth it. With Kenneth, we had frequent bathroom breaks, he offered to take pictures for people, and even had a hot chocolate/tea treat for us before the ride back to town! Definitely recommend. :)

Had a great time on the tour. The tour guide, Ray, was very kind and the vehicle was clean and the ride was smooth. I went on the tour during the off season, in November, so there are less people on the tour and overall at Banff. Lots of space for everyone to move around and take pictures at the scenic locations!

Our family loved this tour! The kids enjoyed seeing the glaciers and waterfalls up close. The timing was perfect, not rushed at all. The guide kept everyone entertained and even helped us take great photos. A wonderful and stress-free way to spend the day together.

Tour guide/driver is friendly and accommodating, sadly when we did the tour it was snowing, we weren’t able to see the glacier.

An unforgettable day exploring the Canadian Rockies! The scenery was beyond beautiful, especially Peyto Lake and Athabasca Glacier. The schedule was well organized, and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Everything ran smoothly from pickup to drop-off.

This is my second time joining "Rockies Journey", and it did not disappoint! The small group size made the trip enjoyable and easy to follow. The guide was friendly, the bus was spotless, and the scenery of Athabasca Falls was simply stunning. I’ll definitely join them again next time!

We had such a great time on this tour! Our guide, Wing spoke both Cantonese and English, which made the trip enjoyable and easy for everyone in our group to understand. He explained everything clearly, shared interesting stories, and kept us entertained the whole day. The mix of beautiful scenery and great communication made it a perfect experience.
