Great fun! - I did this tour with my 13yr old daughter and we both really enjoyed it! Jacob, our guide, was very knowledgeable and engaging. The tour was great fun and a nice way to see some of the sights and give our legs a rest!

Open-Top Touring is a must. - I highly recommend the Open-Top Tour on your first day in Banff. You will not only see incredible scenery and learn the history and culture, but you will hear interesting stories and personal experiences from the tour guide. Taylor rates five stars as a tour guide and driver.

A must do thing in Banff - Ethan guided us through the tour! He is very professional and knowledgeable. It's been a very fun ride. We loved the vehicle is well kept and clean. The weather was great for open top car ride. We are so lucky to see some bighorn sheeps along the road. This is a must do thing in Banff!

Best Sightseeing Trip to see Banff! - With the amazing Taylor as our tour guide, we were the only two people on the bus (as it was around lunch on a weekday). Taylor treated us like royalty. We saw all of the beautiful sights of Banff and stopped to take pictures at all of the special places along the way. The gift of sightseeing with an experienced tour guide is the way to go. Leave the driving to Open Top and just sit back, relax, and take it all in! And Taylor, I don’t know if you’ll ever get to read this, but thank you for making us feel like family. Your charm and personable touches made our tour better than we could’ve ever imagined.
