Traveling Friends Together Again - This was a visually fun and informative experience. We saw a red fox, a herd of elks, white tail and mule deer and long horn sheep. The hot chocolate was a perfect beverage for our trip.

Fab time on a sunny day in Banff - We had a truly wonderful experience on this trip, and I can't express enough appreciation for our amazing and incredibly friendly tour guide. Each stop we made was more fabulous than the last, and I felt grateful for the ample time we had to explore each area. Our guide was so thoughtful, ensuring we had moments to pause and capture photos of the beautiful sights. We even got to watch the elk and deer, which was such a special treat. It was a memorable adventure, and I'm so thankful for every moment.

Great way to see Banff - Spent a lovely 3 hours enjoying the landscape and wildlife of Banff. Our guide, Tyler, was great. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Did not require a high level of fitness. Would recommend to familiarise yourself with the area.

Amazing Adventure. Best Tour Guide - Amazing tour with a great tour guide called Nolan. He was very professional, good humoured and made our tour very fun! A member of our group was a professional photographer who Nolan had sit up front and helped with wildlife spotting. We had a great time, lovely tour and fantastic photos!

Great experience, would do so again! - We went in a van with 12 people. Great experience. You will see the most beautiful places around Banff. Along the way several Elk (species of elk) and deer seen, but especially the area was really worth the money! Very nice engaged guide and by small company very nice and 1 on 1 contact.

We were unable to... - We were unable to participate on the tour as we had a sudden passing in the family. After the shock settled I called 22 hours in advance to cancel the tour and was denied any type of refund. I understand that we missed the 24 hours cancellation by two hours, but please keep in mind that they are very strict with their cancellation policy.
