    This was such a cool experience! I don’t remember our guides name but he was very knowledgeable about the stars and constellations that we saw, and very engaging for the entire group. I would highly recommend this tour if you’re wanting to see Banff at night and get away from the crowds during the day. We were offered a refund when we first arrived due to potential cloud cover, but decided to go on the tour anyway and still saw so much in the sky

  • Wonderful!

    This tour was great. Slow flat walk with stops at viewing points to appreciate the night sky. Get familiar with the night function on your cell phone before you go! Knowledgeable and fun guide!

    Great tour. Ewan was an excellent guide, was funny, and made it a very good experience. The mountain views at night were stunning, and despite some clouds, we saw plenty of stars. We'd absolutely do it again, hopefully to catch the Northern Lights.

    The tour was absolutely amazing. I'm really not into star gazing but this was really nice. The tour guide was the best and very friendly. He took the time to point out things and allowed time to take pictures. He had many jokes along the way. I'm sure everyone felt comfortable with him.

    Travel guide was very helpful and knowledgeable about the stars. My wife and I learned a lot about the constellations and even seen a few shooting stars. There as a full moon and smoke from a brush fire but we still had a great time.
