Satisfied client ! - Our guide Kelsey made the trip interesting, informative and relaxing. Set a pace that the slowest of our group was able to maintain as well, which was much appreciated, she took turns walking with each individual as well as carrying on a conversation. She was/is an excellent guide and I would not hesitate to return for any of the tours led by her.

Breathtaking - Nicole and Neil were amazing guides. The hike was challenging but well worth it. Nicole had patience for us that may have had more difficulty heading back down. Great experience.

Stanley Glacier with Rosalyn - Rosalyn was the best guide ever, she was encouraging, informative and so friendly!! The 9.4 KM hike was beautiful every step of the way and we even got a bonus hike to Marble Canyon because we did the hike in record time.

Well Planned and Good Overview of the Banff Area - The hike was very well planned. The directions provided by the company were clear enough to figure out where to meet. they were on time. The guide was well informed and the lunch was good as well. Will definitely do another hike with them.

Up, up and up but worth it. - Lovely walk (or hike if you are North American). It’s mostly up hill at a steady pace but then levels out with panorama views of the mountains. The uphill bit is mostly in trees so not too hot. Good lunch provided.

Larch Valley Hike - Our guide, Jake, did an excellent job of keeping our group together despite individual abilities being different. The scenery was breathtaking, and Jake knew a lot of facts about the flora. We will do this trip again.

enjoyable - Did two separate hiking tours with this company as no transport in banff. both guides were lovely and to get to these beautiful places are a bonus. please note, some folk (us!) would not consider these as hikes, there very much walking trails with no real exertion and anyone with any form of fitness should be capable of them.
