We went on an ice walk to Johnston Canyon and were beyond impressed. They picked us up at the Fairmont Banff right on time. Our guide, Anick, was very knowledgeable and extremely friendly. The hike was not too bad, although it would help to be in better shape than I am. We dressed for very cold weather, and wound up... More

Ratings were so high, we were really looking forward to our one half day Banff & it's wildlife tour. It was not the fact that we didn't see tons of wildlife, you cannot control that. The big horned sheep was a fantastic treat and the sights were phenomenal! The tour guide was new and really needs more time to polish... More

Hello EmEs Thank you for taking the time to write us. We do appreciate the comments, and I suspect our new guide forgot to bring the water urn and binoculars we provide for guests to use. I apologize for that. I'll be making a point to remind our team, especially new members, to bring the binoculars and water on board.... More

My husband and I did the half day discover Banff tour and the Icefield Parkway at the beginning of May. Hugh was our guide, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Small group made it more enjoyable I thought, although obviously it also makes it more expensive, but we did get a good deal. (Expensive for us due to the low... More

We had a fairly miserable day weather wise in banff and had little hope for the the tour. But from the moment we were collected by Nate he really went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic trip. Along the way we scouted for wildlife and got great shots of a black bear, elk and deer. The ice... More

I originally thought this may have been a tour within town that you could easily do without. However this tour was fabulous & well worth the cost. A great tour of town, including history of the town, loads of picture opportunities & included Lake Minnewanker, the hoodoos & Bankhead. Hugh was a knowledgeable & passionate guide who made the tour... More

What a fantastic experience! I would HIGHLY recommend doing the Discover Banff Glacier tour. Our tour guide Jeff was friendly and knowledgeable and looked after us superbly - he is clearly passionate about what he does. The smaller groups make for a more intimate tour with stops at sites like Lake Louise, Lake Waterfowl, Crowfoot glacier and Columbia icefield to... More

This was an outstanding tour. Our guide Hugh was a wealth of information and kept the tour fun and entertaining. Hugh was also very efficient, keeping up on schedule while providing us plenty of photo opportunities. At no time did I feel rushed or hurried. Excellent experience.
