This special 5-day tour includes 2-nights in the heart of the Canadian Rockies, the town of Banff.

Our tour guide Ryan was very helpful, informative and entertaining. There was plenty for time at each stop for everyone to visit the washroom and get a coffee without rushing. The tour itself was amazing. The hotels were of a very good standard and our arrival and departure were well organised. The scenery was amazing. There was something for everyone with the optional activities. The free time in Banff was a great idea also.

My wife and I were on the one of the last trips for the Rockies Premium Summer Tour for 2024. Our guide was Corey and he was full-on knowledgeable and entertaining. Nothing was too much trouble and he was so experienced and customer focused. The Rockies are magnificent, the lakes amazing and the activities interesting and varied. We chose the glacier along canoeing on the river at Banff and also Blue River. Both canoe trips were good…if I could only choose one, I would choose Blue River as it was more natural and less touristy. We had a very cohesive group which made it an even better trip.

My wife and I really enjoyed this trip. Thank you to tour guide, Corey, for introducing us to an incredible part of the world - the Canadian Rockies. Corey drove and narrated the journey at the same time, always including encyclopedic details on the geology, history, fauna, flora and humans of this region. Some of our favorite activities were walking on a 200 meter deep, 20,000 year-old glacier and eating breakfast 700 meters above Banff before paddling a canoe on the Bow river down below. Lakes Louise and Morraine visits are almost other-worldly experiences. We did not witness much wildlife, but the scenery was always awesomely beautiful and the cool temps were very welcome. We recommend Corey for any tour he guides - his knowledge and enthusiasm evidence his love for what he does. My wife and I definitely want to return.

Ryan our guide did an excellent job over 5 days , providing entertaining commentary and great excursions to lookouts at the fantastic lakes and mountains we visited . He went the extra mile to ensure we had an enjoyable Rockies experience. Our driver Charles was fantastic, felt very safe all the way.

My mom and I had a wonderful time during the 5 day Canadian Rockies Winter premium tour. Our tour guide Ian was incredible! He is very knowledgeable and provided us with interesting facts, history and tales throughout our tour. He is approachable, has a great sense of humor and makes everyone feel comfortable and included in the experiences we shared. I would definitely love to take another tour with him in the future. I also feel the length of the tour was just right. We were able to see many beautiful sights, had opportunities to partake in additional activities if desired and also had a sufficient amount of time throughout the tour to have time to relax and explore on our own. Highly recommend!
