We had an exceptional tour with Jerzy, who took the time to tailor the tour to ensure we had the most enjoyable day visiting Waterton National Park. Jerzy was informative, passionate and enthusiastic the whole tour which made the day even more enjoyable for us. If you’re looking for a memorable day out, ensure you book with Jerzy.

Jerzy took us to waterton park , he was very helpful and had lots of history to tell us about it, we visited the bison first, red rock canyon and then the waterfalls and the prince of Wales hotel. It was a great experience and we enjoyed it despite being jetlagged after travelling from Ireland the day before, thanks again

Excellent personalization of tour to what we specifically wanted water falls, wildlife and history along with epic scenery. Boy did he deliver!! 3 full flow waterfalls, 3 grizzlies, a Black Bear, Fox and 2 cubs, a Buffalo herd with multiple calves, Bald Eagles and a lone Coyote. Historic event in Frank with a very local cute lunch spot, a bakery and coffeehouse met the bill perfectly. We also took the lake cruise that he recommended, enjoying that. Will definitely rebook for the Banff area when we return to Calgary

Jerzy did an excellent job! He is extremely knowledgeable and makes the experience fun and exciting. He not only took us to the common tourist sites, but he also took us to so many beautiful places where you don't see a lot of tourists. For example, Bow Lake we stayed at the lodge. What a great experience. The food and service were fantastic. We also enjoyed the Prince of Whales hotel and Waterton. We were there for a week and saw so much. We highly recommend Jerzy. You won't be sorry!!

This was very very special. Was our second trip with Jerzy within 2 days. We covered Banff earlier. Everybody visits and loves Banff but for me Waterton was the highlight of our week. The range of attractions is simply surreal. Add to that an expert like Jerzy and you cant simply miss this. This tour was not like other group tours that mainly focus on Waterton town and nearby sights. But guess what we saw? We saw Bisons in a remote area of the park and I cannot explain it in words. It was truly a spiritual experience. We also visited Red Rock Canyon, Cameron Lake etc. before stopping in the town and spending some in the famous Prince of Wales hotel. Like always, only 5 stars for Jerzy and his tours.
Worth the drive

Walking short trails to the bison park, lakes and waterfalls. The scenery was amazing! Lunch was at a picnic table by the lake. There were frequent stops at points of interest and the guide was flexible. History of the area was also provided. The guide was extremely knowledgeable of the area.
A truly unique and inspiring tour!

This was the BEST tour of my vacation! Jerzy was an exceptional guide. I've lived in Canada my whole life and I had no idea about the beauty of Alberta and it's rich culture and heritage. Jerzy was extremely knowledgeable about the area's natural history and the history of the Indigenous and European peoples. So many factual and interesting stories! On the tour: the Bison were stunning to see in their natural habitat, Red Rock Canyon was so beautiful and Jerzy took us on a small hike and allowed time to wade in the creek. Stunning! Waterton Village was interesting and the Prince of Wales Hotel was grand and charming. We enjoyed lunch at the gorgeous Cameron Lake park and the falls there were so beautiful. Lots of wildlife throughout the tour seen as well. Such an awesome tour with outstanding scenery. No packed touristy areas! Jerzy was very accommodating and flexible. This excursion takes you to places where you can truly experience and explore the breathtaking region, learn the factual stories and history and connect with nature.

My second trip with Jerzy was full of information again. Going down the Cowboy Trail to Franks Slide, continuing towards Waterton Lakes, we stopped to see the places or for wildlife taking pictures. To make the trip even more authentic we stayed two nights at a local farm. Though it wasn't easy finding places for dinner near Waterton in winter, Jerzy didn't stop searching. With lots of stops for small hikes or the chance to see wildlife we've never were in a rush and got to see a lot. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo-Jump was the last stop on the way back to Calgary.

If you are not sure whether you want to take the time to visit Waterton Lakes National Park over another day in Banff, DO it! Waterton is absolutely charming and a beautiful town. We loved exploring with Jerzey and he took us to all the great spots. In addition to be an excellent tour guide, he also spent time taking photos of us on his nice camera. He then shared those pictures with us. How special to have those candid memories to look back on! We also very much enjoyed Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump. It was a very interesting experience that we will not soon forget. The museum is very well done, informative, and almost spiritual. Jerzey is your tour guide and is professional, kind, and has so much knowledge about the world. Don’t miss out on booking a trip with him!

Jerzy took my husband and i on an all day trip from calgary to waterton park in his jeep. Rarely do you find a guide more excited about the adventure than you are! He took us to a very impactful first nation museum (buffalo head smash world heritage site) along the way. Jerzy noticed my husbands limited mobilty and on the fly chaned our Waterton adventure from hiking to a boat ride. It was all epic. His conversational ease and intereting stories were a great part of the days joy. What a great experience. You will mot regret booking with Jerzy.
