3.00Sam tried really hard to get us to 8 places because 2 tours were out together. He was very flexible and tried to accommodate all of our wishes.
Great Way to See Banff Without the Driving Stress

5.00Our experience was excellent. This is a great hybrid tour option for anyone who wants the flexibility to explore Banff’s top attractions without the hassle of driving, finding parking, or navigating unfamiliar areas. The transportation was convenient and allowed us to relax and enjoy the scenery. Our tour guide, Inder, was outstanding. He was professional, polite, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made the day enjoyable and stress-free. One important thing for future travelers to know is that this tour provides transportation to the attractions, but attraction tickets are not included. If you plan to visit places such as the Banff Gondola or take a lake cruise, be sure to purchase those tickets separately and well in advance. We were fortunate to find reservations a few days before, but many attractions can sell out quickly. Overall, I would highly recommend both this tour and Inder. We had a fantastic time and would gladly do it again.

Great Tour Package

5.00How they put all of those activities in a 1-day package is just amazing. The tour was really well put together, touching on many iconic places in one package made the experience unforgettable. Though, there was little to no time for extended activities like boat rides but it was absolutely worth it. Above all, the experience wouldn't have been so good without the helpful guide 'Jass'. He was so patient and very helpful, with very good knowledge of all the stops. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to take a Banff tour trip.

Great trip experience!

5.00We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel in Canmore instead of having to meet at the designated meeting place, which was very convenient for us. Especially since it was our first time in Canmore and we weren’t very familiar with everything yet. The whole trip was very well organized and on time, from pick-up to every stop, all the way until drop off. Gary was an excellent tour guide. He’s very friendly, easy to talk to, and great at making the experience enjoyable. He also took beautiful photos of me and my husband and encouraged us to make the most out of every stop :) This day tour was definitely worthwhile. We could have driven to the places ourselves, but we’re so glad we decided to book this instead. As first time travelers in Alberta, this turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during our trip. - Clariel & Reymond
