The driver Mr.Patel was the best driver we ever came across, otherwise all the others here are racist.
We had an amazing time with Kevin of Banff Day Trip! It was a small group which was great! We were picked up in Canmore and were dropped off later in the day! Kevin took his time and was very knowledgeable about the area. We went to so many beautiful places! It was breathtaking! Kevin would be on the lookout for animals, and we definitely saw some! We highly recommend Banff Day Trip! Just a wonderful way to experience this exquisite part of Canada!
The day trip to Banff was amazing! Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. The whole trip was a wonderful experience.
We hired a car and driver so we could view the scenery on the 2 hour drive to the park. Extremely disappointed that the windows were blocked with letters and screening. Driver was a good driver, but not forthcoming with information. We won't be recommending this service.
We're sorry that your tour experience didn't meet your expectations and you couldn't fully enjoy the scenery. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as we weren't aware of any complaints before. Your feedback is appreciated, and we'll consider it to make any necessary improvements.
We really enjoyed this experience and the visual spectacle provided by Banff and surrounds. Our guide Sumit took a while to become engaged, but was very obliging with our itinerary. Our day trip was enough to encourage us to return to Banff for more exploration. This was a 10 hour long day trip. The only downside was on the drive back Sumit was becoming very tired and we were concerned for our safety with micro naps resulting in mulitple lane deviations. The car was quite comfortable for a long trip.
Hi Daren, it's great to hear that you had a good time in Banff and the surrounding area. I'm sorry to hear about the negative experience you had with our driver.

We do look forward to seeing you on future trips with us.

I appreciate your kind words. Banff is an absolutely stunning place, and we're glad to have knowledge of the area. Please don't hesitate to consider us for any transportation requirements you may have.
Highly recommended! Our guide, Rahul was the best. Personable, knowledgeable, and flexible. We did an all day private tour of the Banff National Park. Highlights were the gondola up to the top of Sulphur Mountain, which included a nice hike to the top, lunch on the top, spectacular views, and then off to Lake Louise to walk on the frozen lake, view the ice cravings and walk around inside the Fairmont Hotel. Also he included stopping in Banff, beautiful town, and also wanted us to see a smaller town, whicwhich was also beautiful called Canmore. Pickup was at 7AM and we arrived back at our hotel in Calgary at 6pm. What a wonderful dat/experience
I appreciate your positive feedback. Our team takes great pride in our knowledge of the top destinations in Banff and Lake Louise. It's great to hear that Rahul provided an enjoyable experience for your group. Please keep us in mind for any future transportation needs you may have.
Had an amazing experience! Driver was so great and showed us so many spots and the best part is, he was not rushing us. The views, the scenery, the ride was so relaxing. It was worth it!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
