The driver was punctual...
The driver was punctual and knowledgeable. He shown us the city before dropping us off at the airport. He played nice music inside the shuttle which brought back good old childhood memories .

Banff to YYC
The tour operator did not let us know where he was parked. The office called and said they were leaving in one minute and he did not come out to look for us or announce where he was parked. There were multiple vans parked, and your van was not clearly marked. We were not told whether it was a fairy bus or which then we were looking for.
Also, the van was extremely hot, and the air conditioning was not working
Operator response
Please note that all pickup details are included on your ticket. As this is a public shared shuttle service, we kindly ask all travelers to carefully read and review their trip information before departure. This helps ensure a smooth and timely pickup for everyone.
Have a good day!

Customer Service is sorely lacking!
We booked a shuttle from Banff to Calgary weeks in advance of our trip. Our original 10 o’clock shuttle was canceled mid week and we were asked to switch to an 11 o’clock shuttle which we agreed to do. Last night after spending the day out doing vacation activities we found an email telling us that our 11 o’clock shuttle was now canceled and would we like to book at nine or 11, no phone calls, just an email which could easily have been missed since we are on vacation. In attempting to make that change and finalize our plans we were unable to reach the company and the folks at Viator were no help. Neither they nor us was able to reach the tour operator by phone or email. When I asked for a supervisor’s help at Viator, I was told I would get a call back. That was two hours ago. It is now 1030 we have not heard from anyone and do not have any confidence in the fact that these people will pick us up at noon. Fortunately, I was able to find an alternative ride to the Calgary airport, but I am reluctant to book anything through Tripadvisor or Viator in the future. The level of Customer Service is abominable.
Operator response
We sincerely apologize for the cancellation. We did our best to contact you and arrange alternative options however, the phone number we attempted to reach went directly to voicemail, leaving email as our only means of communication.
We are glad to hear that you arrived safely at your destination. Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to serving you better in the future.
Have a wonderful day!

Dissatisfied
First of all, we were told to meet at Fox hotel, then I get a call asking where I am and I was then told the driver went to another hotel very far away. We had to wait in the snow and cold for much longer than anticipated. The driver finally shows up and gives us a bit of attitude for turning back around to pick us up. Then proceeds to judge that both my friend and I had 4 bags total (2 check in and 2 carry on’s). He sighs as he puts the luggage in the back. And makes a comment “there are more bags than passengers”. Then he just walks to his door and does not open the shuttle door for my friend or I. We then go to pick up someone else (1 person) and he has 3 bags which 2 out of the 3 were huge boxes but does not say anything to him and proceeds to open his door. Also to mention he put my carry on bag on top of the luggage’s which is fine but I was afraid it was fall on me since we were sitting in the back row. I felt uneasy for about 1 hr and 30 mins.

Not enough room for ski bags
I ordered the shuttle to pick me up in Banff. A ski town. It arrived with a van sort of shuttle and nowhere to place the ski bag and barely enough room for my regular bag. We ended up placing it under my feet horizontally across the van. The very next pick up had a guy again with a ski bag. He and I had to sit with our feet on top of my ski bag and his on top of our feet for two hours. Not the drivers fault, but I’m warning you if you are bringing skis to a ski town, this would not be my choice for shuttle.
Operator response
Thank you for choosing our service. We’re glad we were able to pick you up on time and get you to your destination safely.
As stated on our website and during the booking process, we kindly ask guests to notify us in advance if they are bringing ski bags or snowboards. There is an additional CAD 10 fee for heavy equipment, which also allows us to assign the appropriate vehicle for your trip.
Unfortunately, we were not notified about the heavy equipment in advance, which is why this situation occurred. Moving forward, for any shuttle service you book online, we recommend declaring all luggage in advance. With larger companies, undeclared equipment may result in significantly higher charges.
We hope this helps with your future bookings. Thank you, and have safe travels!
Cheers,
ABestX Canada
