Straight outta a movie production. - Breathtaking scenery! Despite the cold weather, we were lucky to have a sunny day, and the Canadian Rocks were as beautiful as we could imagine. Honestly, it's one of the most spectacular places I've ever visited. Everything seemed surreal, straight outta a movie production. Our guide was a whole box of fun, entertainment and knowledge. I'm delighted with how they've conducted the process from beginning to end on 10/10.

Fun and interesting visit to Banff - The trip itself went very well! Gordon picked me up at a hotel down the street from where I was staying, and brought me (and fellow solo travellers) to a few sites, including a frozen lake, Banff (the town), and a mountain to see breathtaking views. The weather was not the best, as it was cold and cloudy, but Gordon's knowledge of the area made it easy to follow along with Alberta's history.

Great tour! Gordon was a... - Great tour! Gordon was a great tour guide and driver. I would do this same tour again. I had an issue with trying to book this tour the previous day, last minute. It did not “book,” too last-minute I guess. I was so disappointed I could not go the day before.. I was hesitant to book again, but after my flight canceled resulting in an additional day in Calgary, I booked for the following day. I booked this tour because there was a pick-up at my hotel. Although I was a little afraid of being disappointed again, I booked for the next day, and I LOVED it!!! Gordon picked me up at my hotel, and the tour was fantastic!! Perfect amount of stops/breaks/bathroom opportunities.

Kevin was great!! - Our tour guide was Kevin and he was exceptional! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area, he shared fascinating insights into Banff's history, wildlife, and natural wonders. His energy and enthusiasm made the entire experience more engaging, and he ensured we didn’t miss any of the must-see spots. We felt well taken care of throughout the day and he was sure to provide us hand warmers, sleds, and water. He was a great photographer and made sure we got some great shots as a couple. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Banff with an expert guide. We were picked up promptly and had a full day of experiences. If you visit in December be sure to dress warm with layers and wear beanies, snow boots, and wool socks.

Banff Day Trip - I’ll never get tired of visiting Banff over and over again. The tour was amazing and learned new things about its history, thanks to our tour guide, Murray! Awesome guy, hopefully he’ll be our guide again when we book next time!
