Lake Louise, an icon within Banff National Park, is known for its mesmerizing turquoise waters, framed by snow-capped peaks.

Teddy was an amazing tour guide!

5.00Teddy was an amazing tour guide who took us to multiple stops around Banff and the National Park! We stayed in Calgary and Teddy picked us up in the city and brought us to Banff without a hitch. Would absolutely come back the next time we’re in Alberta, and absolutely recommend!
I recommend +++

5.00This is maybe my third guided tour ever and I’m so glad I did it! I was lucky enough to get Angel as our tour guide because he was AMAZING! But I’m sure whomever else we were to get, they would have been almost 😅 as good. He was so friendly and kind and interacted with each of us, professionally yet I felt like I’ve also know his forever. As a Canadian I learned so many interesting facts about the national park, nature and it was kept interesting throughout the day. The price was amazing. The pick up and drop off were so easy and smooth, and I was very lucky to have such a lovely group. All and Any questions asked were answered before the trip within a few hours and on the day of communication was very clear. The amount of time designated within each spot was more than enough and drive were also very smooth and recommendations for restaurant and food around were spot on! Oh and we had a washroom available very frequently! All in all I can’t recommend this guided tour enough! And honestly I’ll always use this company whenever I’m in banff again and do tall and the ones again and again.
Excellent day out around Banff & great guide!!

5.00Teddy was an excellent guide, teaching us a lot about the locations we went to and entertaining us along the way. I would highly recommend Rocky Mountain Trips, it’s a small family business and it really shines through, definitely worth the cost! The van was comfortable and easily accomodating for all 8 of us on the tour. Teddy was a great photographer (thank you Teddy’s wife), he got some great shots of us and great action shots of other couples on the trip 😆 Thanks Teddy & Rocky Mountain Trips for an awesome day out around Banff.
Definitely recommend

5.00Our original reservation was for December 8th but we were unable to make it that day due to our flight being delayed! I messaged the Host (Tito) and he gladly rescheduled us for the next day! Very nice and accommodating. Our tour guide Teddy was also amazing! He was very informative and friendly and we had a great time on our tour. He recommended us restaurants and activities to do on our lunch break and was very caring throughout the whole day. Definitely recommend booking this tour if you want to see some great attractions and have a fun time!
Beautiful in winter too

Excellent day out with unexpected wildlife bonus

5.00Had a awesome day with our guide Teddy and just one other guest. Apparently a big group cancelled the day before, but what an amazing company who still ran the tour for just the two of us. Firstly thats customer service at its best. Teddy was able to adapt the tour to suit the two of us, and we were both so happy to experience a few extra places and forfeit our lunch in Banff. We were both already staying in Banff so we didnt need extra time there. Teddy was a great host, he was informative, friendly,knowledgeable, and above all happy in his job. His driving skills were amazing. We were so lucky to see some wildlife on our tour which included Big Horn sheep and a dear strolling through a residential area of Banff. Absolutely delighted with how the day went. Also thanks to Tito whose communication was 100% from day one of booking this tour. Excellent day out and lying on a frozen lake Louise was a highlight for me.
