5.00Kenneth is the best tour guide that’s you can expect, warm, friendly, welcoming, and informational. When we are on board, he shared the story/history of Hwy 1, icefield parkway, th boss and the bear survival techniques. When we are visiting the sites, he provided snow shoes/ice cleat, help us take the best photo, also hot chocolate and snacks. His support team share timely info on pick up and pack own lunch etc
Great day out

5.00Lam, our tour guide for the day was really helpful, encouraging when I nearly gave up on the best view at Peyto, understanding of those who were unable to participate, taking photos for us all, just really good at his job. Really appreciate him driving us to and back safely on the whole days tour. I am taking so many beautiful memories back to Australia. Thank you Lam.
Super tour company and guide. Really happy attend the tour

5.00I highly recommend the Rockies Journey Inc. Columbia Icefield one-day tour! We added the Ice Explorer and Skywalk tickets — the entire trip was incredibly rich and well-organized. Our tour guide, Lam, gave great commentary along the way, and the 14-seat van was comfortable, clean, and spacious, with free water provided. Definitely a five-star experience and well worth giving a tip👍👍👍

5.00This is a great experience! I was really impressed by how our tour guide Wing organized everything. He provided a lot of information. My favorite lake is Peyto Lake. You can look out over the lovely lake. You cannot miss Columbia Icefield. The Athabasca Glacier is absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend that you join this trip!
