Tour a Winter Wonderland - This is one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. Our guide, Emma, was both informative & enjoyable. Her knowledge of the area, from a historical viewpoint & ecological impact was extensive & interesting. The area is incredibly beautiful & we stopped frequently to take in the incredible views. At no point were we made to feel rushed. The day was truly about being in the moment surrounded by magnificent beauty. This tour is so worth your time.

Winter Wonderland - It was an amazing trip, even in the early season it felt like a winter wonderland. Our tour guide Jake was a legend. Unfortunately we weren't able to stop at the natural bridge as there was a bear in the area. Jake did his best to fight him off, but unfortunately there was still no access for us. Despite this Jake still has the best hair in Banff.

Amazing views - Great way to see key sights such as Lake Louise and Emerald Lake with many extra picturesque stops along the way. Georgia was a lovely, knowledgeable tour guide. My only down side was wishing I could spend more time in Lake Louise and Emerald Lake but overall an excellent must do tour.

Amazing trip - This trip was amazing. Went to places we would not have been able to get to without a car (and would never have thought of going to) and lunch at the Emerald Lake lodge was fantastic. So much snow and the scenery at every stop was picture postcard perfect. Emma was a great tour guide and told us lots about the places we visited and the history of Banff.

Best tour guide in Banff - We had the joy of going on the lake Louis tour with our guide Eli. It was a small group of us 4 and 1 other lovely lady. This was one of the best experiences we have ever had. Eli was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We were taken to lots of incredible stops that we wouldn’t have stopped at or known about if we hadn’t of done this tour. The flow of the day was perfect, never once did we feel rushed. We can’t rave about it enough and will be recommending to all our family and friends.
