What an incredible day! From the moment we were picked up in Calgary, everything ran smoothly. The drive along the Icefields Parkway was filled with breathtaking scenery. The highlight for me was standing near Athabasca Falls and feeling the power of the water. Our guide shared lots of fascinating facts and stories that made the experience even more special.

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

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!

This tour was amazing! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared so many interesting stories about the Rockies. I really appreciated how they made sure everyone was comfortable and had enough time to enjoy each stop. The small group size made the trip feel very personal and easy to follow. It felt more like traveling with friends than being on a big bus tour. I learned a lot and had such a fun day!
