Such an awesome tour!! Highly recommend. We also did their Canmore walking tour which was just as great.

This is such an excellent way to get to know the town of Banff, and only takes a couple hours. Would 100% recommend for first time visitors, especially as a scene setter on arrival day. But also those who have been before – we've done many a trip to Banff but there was still so much we learned. Our guide was the owner, Erin, and she was amazing – such infectious passion, first-rate hospitality, and really knew her stuff. Five stars all the way!

Erin was a great guide and I found out a huge amount of fascinating facts about Banff! Erin also had lots of time for any questions that I had, and I loved being introduced to Bear Claw treats at The Fudgery! Would recommend to others.

We had a great experience. Our guide was well-informed about the area, had a great delivery, and was so enjoyable to be around. The time went by fast, and we were both glad we had booked the tour.
