Excellent time with Josh. Such a nice chap. He was knowledgeable and fun to be with. England, however, will win the ashes Downunder.🏏

I had a great time with Explore Banff on their wildlife tour! Our guide Austin was super friendly and really knowledgeable, it was a pleasure to get to hang out with him for the evening. We saw lots of elk, deer, and all the beautiful mountain lookouts around Banff. This was the second tour I did with Explore Banff and both times were awesome. I will definitely book with them when I come back!!

These guys were great! First, when we reached out to the company to find out where we should meet them, Josh offered to pick us up even though we weren't on their stop list. Since we were the only ones who had booked the tour they were super accommodating. Then Josh adjusted the time for us to give my husband time to finish his conference class. We loved all the scenic stops Austyn took us on. He was also really nice and took a ton of pictures for us. He also offered to take us on additional stops since we were the only ones and it didn't take him as long to show us all the scenic spots. My only bummer was that it was the middle of the day and with the sun up everything was washed out. So we didn't get the best pics. But that was not the fault of the tour company!
Wonderful - A must do!

We had a fantastic 3 1/2 hours by being treated to great views, wildlife and wonderful guides. They were very considerate having both a 12 yr old and a 90 year old on board! The trip was well worth the time and money!!
