Monarc VIP Tours Banff area Tour - We had a great time with Jugal as our host. He was courteous, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. He was quite the gentleman. We spent some time with Mr. “V” as well; that was a treat too. Monarc VIP was great to do business with being very responsive and professional. They made very accommodating arrangements and the van was clean and well stocked. We visited all the most important sites in the Banff area. What a day! It was awesome, really. I highly recommend Jugal and Monarc VIP Tours.

Incredible Full-Day Tour with Vishal - I booked a full 10-hour private tour with Vishal from Monarc VIP Tours and it was honestly one of the best parts of my trip. He took me to all the famous spots on the itinerary and also showed me several hidden gems and extra places that made the experience feel even more special and personalized. Along the way, he shared the history and background of the areas, which made the tour so much more interesting and meaningful. The entire ride was comfortable, relaxing, and enjoyable. I also really appreciated how much effort he put into helping me spot wildlife during the tour. Thankfully, we were able to see everything I hoped for and even more than expected! I highly recommend Vishal and Monarc VIP Tours to anyone looking for a private tour experience that is professional, personalized, informative, and unforgettable. Thank you again for such an amazing day!

Blessed day. - This was an excellent tour. Vishal was our driver and he was so attentive to all our needs. He was courteous and very knowledgeable of the area. We went to so many of the iconic places that you want to see in the Banff area. The day was filled with show rain and sunshine. The crampons were a great plus for one of the trails he took us on. You will be so happy that you chose this tour.
