    Amazing views! Buying the tickets on tripadvisor was worth it! There was no wait time. The only thing is the nightrise experience was missed. However the hike and food was perfect!

    100000/10 had a great time with Teddy and Joseph, they made the tour much better and STRESS-FREE! They were extremely knowledgeable with interesting facts and stories about the surrounding tour sites and great photographers. We will definitely be booking again, on our next trip back to Banff 🇨🇦 We enjoyed our time with the tour guides and group, everyone seemed to have a great time!

    Our group had such a fantastic experience on this tour. Roger was our guide and he was so friendly, accomodating and knowledgable. We couldn’t recommend this tour more, and we met some great people in it as well! If you’re looking for a fun light-hearted tour with your friends or as a couple I’d recommend this one.

    Mike, our tour guide, was informative, thoughtful and provided great details about the area, the culture, nature and
    the formation of all the natural wonders we saw. He spoke clearly and with a depth of knowledge we so appreciated.
    We did a tricky climb using clamp-ons at Marble Canyon. Mike made sure we were safe and not hurried. The views were worth the climb.

    A group of us from Scotland as corporate guests did the guided walk with Jeff . He was an excellent guide on the flora , fauna and geology and we all had a great time. We even saw some ice climbers going up and down falls at end.

    Robbie (I believe was his name) was an incredible host; very polite and informative with good humour. His dog is also very cute and a nice companion for the trip. The tour bus collects you at your accommodation and is well-warmed throughout the journey, and each stop is planned well with a good amount of information. It’s very clear how good it is to be shown around someone who clearly enjoys the area and has good knowledge of it. There are plenty of opportunities for you to take photos of the area, with great time to soak in the scenery before moving onto the next spot.

    The tour group I was with was only 4 people including myself, and it was still great. I was happy that the tour continued despite being a smaller group, and all people present were also nice and welcoming.

    Presuming that all tour guides are like Robbie, this is definetly a tour worth booking and it’s completely understandable why it’s so positively reviewed. I did this tour during winter, and seeing the lakes frozen over and the snow on the mountains was incredible.

    4 stars only for our female Tour guide this morning! She had long brown hair with a braid with a septum nose piercing. I didn’t catch her name. She was the ONLY friendly person that we came upon. She did a great job of explaining things as we went along the trail and pointed out certain fun facts along the way. She made many of us feel at ease and did well at her job as a tour guide because she was THE ONLY ONE THAT MADE EYE CONTACT AND SMILED AND SAID “HI”!. ( Hello owners- that gesture goes a long way and perhaps you can train your cow girls and cowboy to do that more often)

    However aside from her - BEWARE!- the feeling is that the young bucks who work here are annoyed with their jobs. The young girls who does the explanation in the coral at the beginning are very unfriendly. I was skeptical after reading the bad reviews but they are actually accurate- and many of them point out the same girl who has mid length blonde hair. She had a light green cactus shirt on this morning for our session. She made some of our group members feel stupid, and was very unfriendly. I get that you repeat your same speech daily but get over your “young experienced horse rider self”. Your job might be better suited as the Bona fide “horse apple” cadet - away from the visitors. Learn to be nice- it goes a long way!

    The welfare of the horses is clearly very high on the company and staff’s agenda. A sensible (if still a little high!) weight limit reduces unbalanced riders causing issues for the horse. All the horse’s are a great weight (maybe a bit round!) and feet clearly well looked after.

    It was wonderful slowly wandering around the park just outside Banff and seeing some beautiful scenery. Perfect for my very out of practice husband to get back on a horse.

    My only reservation was around the group size. Realistically only the first three riders could hear the front rider properly and similar for the back. This means that for a “guided tour” I think a maximum of 6 guests - perhaps up to 8 is sensible. There’s no way 2 guides can communicate properly with 12+ guests. Whether this is issues communicating around how to ride the horses or talking about the environment we were in. A large amount of the 2h was spent waiting for the riders in front and behind to pull their horses up from snatching food - slightly frustrating! Neither myself nor my husband had any communication with either of the guides other than checking girths before the steep section.

    I appreciate that a huge number of tourists/guests come through Banff and larger groups are a cost effective way of managing the numbers required. But a slightly reduced group size would improve visitor experience I think.

    The horse I had “Brewster” was sound, beautifully behaved, respected when I said no to snacks and seemed to genuinely enjoy the job he was doing. Sure footed on the hills and rocky terrain.

    Lovely way to end our honeymoon 🥰

    Most likely one of the most beautiful places I had the opportunity to visit in my life. There is no downside and every day a new adventure with amazing views surprised me. If I had to choose a top place it would be Lake Moraine/Lake Louise. Importantly I would recommend to arrange transportation since parking in summer time is almost impossible there.

    Rahul was a very excellent tour guide, and we were so pleased with our All-day Banff & Lake Louise tour experience today! He was very knowledgeable, very polite & respectful, patient, thoughtful, accommodating, and he knew the area really well. He picked us up in a very clean, nice all-wheel drive vehicle (very important with all the snow still on the ground), and since we happened to be the only family taking a tour today (late March 2025), we got a very personalized tour experience. Rahul knew all the back-roads and great off-the-beaten-path stops to avoid all the traffic and crowds, and he smartly adjusted our tour schedule based on what we wanted to see and on when he knew the best times to be at the various places. We made lots of great bathroom stops (very clean places we otherwise wouldn’t have known about), and on some of the more strenuous hikes, he continually checked on us and asked us if we needed anything. Very cool guy—fun to talk to—who gave great commentary on all of the local mountains and lakes and features, even with some fun stories, and we are super satisfied with the tour and very, very glad that we took it – highly recommended, and we would gladly take a tour from him again! (they offer multi-day tours as well, which we didn’t know about originally when we booked). Thank you Rahul, and we hope our paths cross again soon – best wishes from Alabama, USA!
