Magical winter wonderland

5.00Expect to see magical scenery everywhere you go! We explored Johnston Canyon instead of the Colombian ice fields, which was a truly spectacular experience/substitute! Highly recommend
Disappointed

1.00Unfortunately, I wouldn’t choose to book a trip with this company again. The shuttle van was extremely small and overcrowded, with every seat filled, which made the ride very uncomfortable. There was little to no space for jackets or bags, which was especially inconvenient given the cold weather. At each stop, the guide simply dropped us off and stayed in the van while we explored on our own. Although he shared a small amount of information about the views, it was quite limited and didn’t add much to the overall experience. As a result, the trip felt unengaging and disappointing. On the positive side, the guide did make multiple restroom stops, which was appreciated, and he dropped us off at a location close to our hotel at the end of the tour. Overall, however, the experience did not meet our expectations.
Great experience and guide

5.00Very accommodating, professional, the small group vibe is a good feeling. On time, way better than expected. Don’t let the price fool you into believing you’ll be getting less.

5.00This was a GREAT adventure. Aashish was our guide. He is an experienced Banff hiker, and everything was timed perfectly. Not a single second was wasted. After our last hike of the day, we asked him for recommendations of other hikes to check out during our stay, and he had great recommendations. We loved hearing from someone who really knew the area, not just as a tour guide, but as a hiker.
Big day out

5.00Had the most amazing experience! The lakes especially Bow Lake and Peyto Lake were absolutely stunning. Our tour guide, Aashish was an amazing. He knew all the lake histories and even helped us gear up with boot grips for the hike. We visited several breathtaking places, and it was totally worth it. Highly recommend taking a day off to explore and reconnect with nature!
