I had a business trip to Calgary and had an extra day on a cold day of early November. I was lucky to be able book this day trip to several locations in the Banff National Park on a short notice. I have serious health issues and require a cane for mobility. Our guide Angel was perfect - despite being very knowledgeable, he was also caring and polite, checking on me and my daughter, offering tips, and being a true joy to deal with. I highly recommend this family-run company for your day trip and Angel as your guide.
An amazing trip with an amazing guide. Worth every penny!

I was fortunate enough to have a free day in Banff before heading home. I thought I'd find some kind of tour so I could make better use of that one day. This tour looked great so I reached out with a few questions. Tito, the proprietor of Rocky Mountain Tours, was responsive to inquiries, flexible and helpful. I joined the tour on their pick-up run through Banff and used them as my ride back to Calagary that evening. In between was a day of fun, amazing sights and great company. We had a small group (6 due to some last minute cancelations) and the AMAZING ANGEL as our driver, photographer, and spirit guide. And the dude has skillz! He slid down the snow hill on his butt with the best of us. In his honor we made a big row of snow angels. Angel's angels. I saw a Tripadvisor review of this tour on RMT's website and in retrospect the reviewer, Darin, nailed it. Angel was informative, fun, patient, and flexible. And he did have a great soundtrack running in the van all day. Tito, whatever you are paying Angel, it's not enough! He's a Angel With An (awesome) Attitude. Great time. Great tour. Worth every penny. If you book the tour, be sure to tell Tito "Send Me An Angel!" If you don't, afterwards you'll be singing Wish I Had an Angel. But seriously, Angel set a great mood for the day and is just super at his job. Thank you!

It's a little colder and some stuff was closed, but this was still a great off-season tour with plenty to see and do. Teddy took really good care of us!

This was my first time in Banff and I highly highly recommend this tour. As a female solo traveler I felt very comfortable and had an amazing time. Teddy was the best tour guide and had an awesome spirit/ enthusiasm. He gave great recommendations and history of the areas we visited. I would absolutely do this tour again. Had such a fun time and got to meet some cool people from around the world.
Awesome day trip

This trip from Calgary into Banff National Park and back was a tremendous value. The experience is sure to be one that I treasure forever— even it was all packed into less than 12 hours. Angel was a terrific guide! He was knowledgeable, pleasant, personable, informative, and entertaining. He also chose great music for our listening pleasure. Angel was so encouraging that every member of our little group managed to see more than we ever would have seen on our own as we chose to scramble up steep trails and duck around corners to take in the best views. But the experience would still have been impressive to those who remained in the easily accessible areas. I’m grateful to Angel and to his family owned company. I would highly recommend Rocky Mountain Trips to anyone.
