It was a great experience! Our tour guide was very kind and informative. They provided us with a water and a snack.
Great and bundle tour offered by Banff Journey tour company. Those who want to cover best and main tourists spots of Banff in a single day - that's the tour which you want and it's good to travel with all age groups. Our tour guide "Sam" was great and he enjoys his work. He did take beautiful pictures on good spots on the locations included in our itinerary. Tour bus was comfortable and offered snacks and water as well. I would surely suggest this tour to people who are coming with family or as a couple.
The tour was well organized and our tour guide, Raymond, went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of. Raymond was knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We even lucked out and saw a bear along the way. Moraine Lake was my favorite. Raymond could see I was having difficulty going to the top of the Rock Pile to see the best view of the Lake. He personally escorted me up, letting me hold his arm while we ascended the rock steps to the top, encouraging me all the way up. I will always be grateful to Raymond as Lake Moraine was amazingly beautiful and he made sure I had the opportunity to see the best view. I highly recommend this tour to all.
Our guide was amazing, so thoughtful and took such nice photos of all the groups
Experience was generally good. However, the time allowed in Banff town was too short (15 minutes). There was no trip to Banff National Park. I was under the impression that we were also to go to the Banff National Park.
I was notified that the original tour I had booked was not full enough and I was requested to join another group. That tour turned out to be wonderful. I liked that it was a small group of seven. It was more intimate and you got to know the people that you were on the tour with. They provided little snacks and water during the drive before and after lunch. Our tour guide was extremely friendly and very informative and just an all-around down to earth young man.
Thank you so much for your flexibility and for sharing such a lovely review! We know it can be a bit of a surprise to have your tour adjusted, but we are thrilled that the small group of seven made for such a wonderful, intimate experience. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the snacks and that your guide’s friendly, down-to-earth approach made you feel right at home. We truly appreciate your understanding and are so glad you had a fantastic day in the mountains!
When visiting Banff National Park and you need a guided tour look no further than here! Our guide William was very friendly, prepared, and very knowledgeable of the area. He also took the time to take photos and videos for everyone in our group! I would recommend this company to everyone!

We will be sure to celebrate this feedback with William. Cheers to many more years of adventure, and we hope to see you again for your next big celebration!
My friend and I had a great time in Banff! Edward took such great care of everything. From start to finish, he did an absolutely amazing job. He was very attentive to every detail, and even though the weather was cold, he drove very safely and prepared warm drinks for us, which we truly appreciated. The tour was perfect and never boring for a single moment. If you’re visiting Banff, I highly recommend booking this tour for at least one day!
