Love this personalized tour - This trip was so amazing! Apart from the beautiful sceneries at the popular sightseeing spots at Banff town, Lake Minnewanka, Banff Gondola and Johnston Canyon, Banff Journey has tailor-made a unique itinerary to make it fit our preference. The tour guide is also a professional photographer to take stunning pictures for us with amazing sceneries at the background. How wonderful!

Banff and National Park extravaganza - We had a wonderful time. William was so attentive and packed a lot into our day. We went to 3 National Parks and the gondola ride at the end of the day was a nice highlight. Walking on the ice at Lake Louise was another favorite. He took pictures of us and sent them to us at the end of the trip. Going on a weekday in the middle of January . There was just three of us so it felt like we had our own private tour. Highly recommend. William was excellent.

Amazing day exploring Banff’s highlights! - We had an incredible day experiencing the Banff Town, Lake Minnewanka, Banff Gondola tour! Each stop offered something unique and breathtaking. The Banff Gondola ride was absolutely stunning, providing unparalleled views of the Rockies—it felt like we were on top of the world! Lake Minnewanka’s serene beauty left us speechless. Our guide was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to answer questions or help take photos. They shared so many fascinating facts about the area, making the trip even more enjoyable. The tour was well-organized, with plenty of time to soak in each destination without feeling rushed. It was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Banff National Park’s top attractions. It’s an unforgettable experience that I would love to do again!

There is a heaven - The Gondola may have been the single most mind blowing experience we've ever had on a tour. Seeing a rainbow from the observatory as opposed to from below at ground level was a truly religious experience (and I'm not a religious person).

Tour Canceled - Sadly, this tour was cancelled due to too few people. I was looking forward to the Banff Gondola and Hot Springs. If I am back in the area, I will try again. They did offer other tour options.

Banff, gondola and hot springs - We were picked up scheduled and our guide tried, in vain, to alter the schedule, he wanted to take us to the hot springs first but we all, 5 of us, said no. The Banff tour part of the excursion didn’t happen as our guide just dropped us off in town for 2 hours! The hot springs shouldn’t have been plural just one pool and rather disappointing. The Banff gondola and sulphur mountain far better. The Lake Minnewanka part for too short
