Nice amount of time not too long. Beautiful spots to see for sure. And our driver Abdul was super nice.
They book/fill the passenger seat up front with the driver and the jump seat in front of the sliding side door.

This tour was NOT GOOD! The inclusions said: Driver / Guide Nope! He drove and that's it, barely spoke English, didn't check anyone in with a list or look at our tickets or mobile reservations. He never spoke a word during the tour. Didn't tell us where to go, what to look at - NOTHING! 4 John's Bus was DIRTY. Windows were DIRTY. Garbage left from a previous tour was still on the floor, plastic bottles rolling around. I was at the first pick up and was on the bus first and saw this with my own eyes. GROSS! Driver was LATE and HE (Abdul) went to the wrong location! He called me and said he was in front of the hotel and where was I - when pick up was in the parking lot BEHIND the hotel per the instructions. Tour said 30 minutes Banff - NOPE! Just picked up more people at the train station. Moraine Lake was supposed to be 1 hour 30 minutes. We were told to be back on the bus 45 minutes to one hour later. Lake Louise we got the full 1 hour 30 minutes, only because everyone was angry that we didn't get the time we paid for at the first stop. BIG MISREPRESENTATION OF A GOOD TOUR. TERRIBLE!!!

Do not book. Selected a tour at 8:10am to accommodate our schedule for the day. Afternoon before the tour we are called and told that we were the only scheduled guests and the tour was cancelled. Stated they would book us at a later time. When told that later would not work we were told we would get a refund. After talking to booking agent and calling back twice we recieved no refund and we had to put a dispute claim on the AMEX charge. Very unprofessional.
We sincerely apologize for what happened. Our goal is always to provide the best possible experience for all of our passengers. We also apologize if we were unable to reach you sooner. We attempted to contact you by email the day before your trip but did not receive a response. To avoid any further inconvenience, we reached out to discuss alternative options. Unfortunately, none of the available options met your needs, so we offered a full refund to allow you to make other travel arrangements. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Have a great day!
We had a really good time. If there’s one advice I can give to prospective clients, know that it will take you pretty much all day if starting and ending in Calgary. The description is not clear. So basically, most of their mini buses starts in Calgary (base) and that’s why they’re able to pick customers like us from here. Then they congregate in Banff where you may or may not have to change buses (they will let you know). We bought the two lakes (Louise and Moraine) where we spent 1.5 hours on each places. They provided a good transportation and water and friendly drivers and a recorded short information about the places. Then you have free time to explore the lakes. Upon booking I could choose 6 or 7.30 pick up . We picked latter. Our tickets said we will finish at 13.30 ish which was great. However we didn’t get back to Calgary till around 5pm. Mel our driver asked if we wanted to be dropped back at downtown or somewhere else. We told him where we’re staying and he was happy to drop us there as it was close to the company garage and saves time going into City traffic. We had a really nice time and the drop off saved us time also. So perhaps the company needs to make this clear. Imagine if we had planned something afterwards? Or worse if someone is catching a flight?
We’re glad you loved and enjoy the trip! See you again next time :)
We had the greatest tour guide and he even took us up the route that we asked him about. He was so fun and full of great information.
Given the lack of parking, taking a tour shuttle to see both lakes is ideal. Our guide/driver, Jam, was friendly, helpful and informative. The trip was very enjoyable and the lakes are breathtaking.
Did not show up No communication No answer to calls when we phoned No reply to messages sent Really disappointed after reviews we read were good. If you can’t fulfil a commitment, at least inform your customers
HiAngela, Could you please provide your booking reference number so we can verify your reservation in our system? We always contact our passengers by email and phone the day before their trip, so it’s unlikely that anyone is missed. Please send your booking reference number to info@abestx.ca so we can investigate this matter further. Thank you, and we look forward to resolving this for you.
Everything was great, the guide was knowledgeable and polite. Departure was in time and transportation was comfortable.
