Banff town centre tour

Chris gave a friendly and knowledgeable tour for us and one other person, showing us good sights and interesting places that we likely would not have found. Good that a walking tour had some sensible walking as some seem to be stand and listen, which this was not. Would recommend.

Banff is Fascinating

Aziz was such a great tour guide!! Our tour was incredibly informative, entertaining, and engaging. We learned a lot about the city, the history, the activities/attractions - our tour guide gave us tons of information tailored to our interests. We even bonded with the two other participants in the tour because of the friendly atmosphere :) I think this tour is absolutely worth the time, considering how many hidden gems we were able to see that we would’ve missed, and it was absolutely worth the money (we tipped the recommended $30 CAD which is a steal!) My favorite part was hearing about all the mountains and the Stony Dakota names/culture surrounding them.

Operator response

Wow, thank you so much for the incredible review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Aziz so much. He is a great guide and so much fun to be around. We hope to provide you with another great tour soon.

The tour guide was very amiable and kept all of the members of the group included. He was very funny and framed the tour towards each of our own interests.

Great tour of Banff

Great tour with Aziz. It was cold and we strayed a bit late but it’s fine. Highly recommended. Such a charming handsome young guy. We would have definitely not discovered those places on its own.

A chilly day, but a great one for a tour

We had what turned out to be a tour with just Aziz, myself, and my daughter. It was a cold day! But the tour was great. Aziz is such a pleasant and personable guy. He knew so much about the history of Banff, and took us to places around town we would not have likely discovered on our own. Great morning!! We just sure needed a hot chocolate to warm up afterwards 🤪

Awesome History Review

It was awesome. My friend and I learned a little bit more about the history of banff. Are tour guide took us around the town and showed us different aspects where we would not really look otherwise. It was a great way to spend a couple hours just getting back to Nature and a wonderful experience. Our tour guide azim was very friendly and knowledgeable. And he even helped us take a few pictures and we shared a couple laughs.
