We took a 2 hour evening tour around Banff to find wildlife. Our guide was very knowledgeable and well prepared. We saw elk on the golf course, deer, sheep and goats. It was also interesting taking a nature tour in the evening. The scenery is magnificent. The tour is good for people who are tired of walking as it is... More

I went on 2 tours a half day tour of Banff in the morning and then a whole day tour up to the Columbia Icefield. Anniki was my guide for both days and she was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour groups were nice and small and the minibus was modern. We even managed to see a wolf. Well worth spending... More

Had a great hike in Johnston Canyon. A really beautiful area that can be appreciated 12months a year. The guide from Discover Banff was very knowledgable, friendly and cheerful. She carries secret treats in her backpack that you only discover when you get to the upper falls. We heard that her mother posts any good comments on her Facebook page,... More

I did Grotto Canyon, Johnston Canyon, Snowshoeing tours. Great tours, great guides. I've been last year too and will go again, as different weather gives different experiences. More

The tour guide Jeff, from Discover Banff provided interesting information regarding the geology of the area. he was knowledgeable and informative. I had been to Johson Canyon many times in the summer and was not aware of the fossils he pointed out to us. The ice at the upper falls was spectacular. (The cookies and hot chocolate were also lovely.)... More

A great experience, we met up with Rose and M in Banff today and right from the start I could tell our company was in for a great day! Many thanks to both of them, we had a fantastic experience snowshoeing with you both and I would recommend Discover Banff Tours to anyone. Thanks again for the amazing day. Sean... More

I went with DBT on a four hour tour from Banff to Lake Louise. The experience was enjoyable, and they took good care of us. Our guide was Lydia, and she was super personable, gave great information about the areas we were passing and would be visiting, and was very open to any questions from the group. She helped to...

My friend, Erin, and I decided to go snowshoeing before winter is over. The Discover Banff tour was having a special so that made the decision easy. We drove to Banff and met at the assigned time. Our bus was a little late because they were looking for one of the people that was supposed to meet the bus at... More

With three other folks, we went on a lovely if chilly trip to see some of the attractions around Banff National Park. Our guide and driver, Magda, if my memory serves me correctly (she is from Ontario and moved to Banff for six months back in 2000!), was chatty and cheerful and really friendly. She was so enthusiastic about Banff,... More

It started with a misrepresentation and didn't stop there! The online form asked what hotel we wanted to be picked up at and said they would send an email confirming. No email ever arrived until we called hours later because the trip was the next day and we had heard nothing. Then we had to meet at a hotel in... More
