- Our family of 4 had a FABULOUS day with Cam & Ollie on the Icefields Parkway tour today! They were a dynamic duo able to share a tremendous amount of valuable information in a fun approachable way. The views along the trip and special places we got to see were amazing! This is the 2nd tour we have used Radventures for while in Banff, and we highly suggest you give this company a try!

Amazing, scenic tour - We saw the most amazing and scenic views on this tour. The Bow lake, Peyto lake and the glaciers were simply mesmerizing. Sebastian, our tour guide from Radventures went above and beyond to make the icefields parkway drive comfortable. He was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour! - We had a fantastic time with Flossi as our guide, she was friendly and outgoing with the whole group and very knowledgeable about the area. We were shown all the best spots and got some incredible pictures. Bering in a small group was lovely too, made sure everyone was involved and got to see all the sights.
