Our family had an amazing two-day trip with Banff Day Trips! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable. He shared interesting facts and history about every place we visited, answered all of our questions, and made the experience both fun and educational. His professionalism, friendliness, and passion for what he does truly made the trip memorable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-planned and enjoyable experience. Thank you for making our trip so special Melvin Salamanca from Banff Days Trip! You are the best!
Great experience! The guides were really helpful and welcoming, especially Dair. We could not follow the whole schedule due to weather conditions but we still visited amazing places including the Banff Gondola which was a good surprise! The guides have a good know of each one of the places we visited and made sure we were always confortable.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I’m really glad you still enjoyed the day even with the weather changing the original plan. Some trails were extremely slippery that day, and changing the schedule was the safest option to avoid injuries and keep everyone comfortable. Our guides always do everything within their control to make the day special; from taking longer scenic routes where wildlife is often seen to adjusting the itinerary when conditions become unsafe. It means a lot that you noticed the effort, knowledge, and care Dair brings to each stop. We’d love to welcome you back when the weather allows for the full experience.
Fantastic and awesome Banff trip :) We appreciate great service from our drivers , Rick and Dair, and we love all the places that on the tour itinerary. The tour operator provides everything we needed and able to adjust and provide us the best experience that beyond our expectation. We are totally impressed and we definitely recommend our friend who have Banff trip in their mind.
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear your Banff trip felt both awesome and effortless from start to finish. We’d be honoured to welcome you back whenever you return to the Rockies.
I enjoyed this tour a lot. I booked the tour from this company because they will pick up and drop off at the hotel I stay. Basically they will pick up and drop off at any places you stay from Calgary to Banff, e.g. our driver picked up a guest at a place called " Dead Man's flats". Kevin (tour company owner) is very good at communicating via email and text. Both drivers, Dair and Rick, are excellent. The tour is well-organized and worry-free at a reasonable price.
Banff Day Trips truly saved our vacation! When our rental car fell through, they immediately made room for us on their tour. We ended up doing the two-day Bucket List Tour plus a private tour the third day, and every moment was incredible! Knowledgeable guides, comfortable vehicles, amazing stops, and more than fair prices. Highly recommend!
Gordon and Rick took good care of us! Pick up information was given one day prior to the tour, everything is well organized, and we really enjoyed the 2 day experiences! Group size is small and we met nice people along the trip. We visited all the famous lakes and other beautiful scenery as well, plenty time was given during each stop so that we can enjoy, take picture and use washroom and buy souvenirs and coffee :) Definitely will recommend to others who wanna do multiple day trips but would like to stay in Calgary.
It is a great experience with a great itinerary and logistics all taken care of. The tour guides, Dan and Dair, are helpful and nice. Dan was amazing, as he made a lot of effort to make the long travel time between the lakes interesting. He even hiked with us to give us a better experience. Dair was also nice enough to flexibly adjust the time in each place according to our interests. I would recommend this tour to others.
Absolutely fantastic experience and I can’t recommend it enough. Our guides were excellent (a special shoutout to Patrick who was amazing!!!) and the van was spacious, comfy and well stocked with drinking water. The stops on both days were spectacular and the whole tour ran smoothly from the start of day 1 to the end of day 2. Massive thank you for a wonderful trip.
Just finished day 2 of this wonderful tour. Day 1 Kevin took us to Johnson Canyon lower falls, and multiple other great scenic spots. We had lunch in Banff and the took the chairlift up the Norquay. A bit scary, but totally worth it. Day 2 Patrick took us to 5 of the most scenic lakes in Alberta! Both tour guides were knowledgeable and fun. This is the way to get around! Let the pros do the driving and worry about parking! We were even picked up at our hotel in Canmore. Great customer service. Lake Morraine was my favorite!
Really great trip! Gordon was lovely, very friendly and knowledgable. The trip was great, the lakes are so beautiful and the mountains are stunning. The pick up/meeting point was really well organised. I had a really lovely time, thank you so much!
