Great tour - Jacob was great and informative. We had a private tour due to the other group cancelling so it was just us and Jacob. We got to see many bodies of water and the mountains were covered in snow as it had snowed a couple days back. We will be coming back in the summer to him!!

Delightful 2 hour hike with experienced guide - We had a delightful hike with our knowledgeable guide Ben. He took us on trails that were tailored to our skill level and told us a lot about wildlife and native plants. It was exactly what we wanted.

Really Enjoyable - There were only the two of us along with Jacob our guide on the walk. With his education in history, outdoors certifications and being raised in Canmore, Jacob had lots of interesting stories. We had lively conversation for the full two hours. It's an easy path. We were fortunate to see a bull Elk with his 'ladies' -- were very close, bedded down for the afternoon. Worth doing. I recommend.

Never too old to check out the trails with Jacob. - The walking tour went at a nice easy pace for me with a bum knee but was still vigorous and fun. We saw some amazing sights, hidden gems of trails and Jacob knows where the animals are :-). The herd of elk we saw were magnificent. Definitely booking again with Jacob on my return trip this fall.

Amazing Experience with Canmore Trails and Tales - Our guide Jacob took us on a 3 hour round trip leading us out of Canmore town centre, showing us trails known only to locals. After what seemed quite a short 40 minute or so walk he led us to a herd of around 40 Elk feeding by the river. It was a beautiful and unforgettable experience, made all the more amazing by how close we still were to Canmore itself. We could hear the bull elk calling as he manoeuvred the herd towards the river and we could also hear a second bull also calling as a challenge from farther away. We later saw the main bull elk (from a safe distance) partially hidden in the long grass - just magical! Later on in the same trip we were lucky enough to spot a pair of bald eagles in the distance after Jacob had heard their call. Jacob's extensive knowledge and insights made this trip really fun and informative and his knowledge of the local area meant we could see things we never would have known how to find otherwise. I would highly recommend this tour.
