Best trip in Banff Ever!! - Amazing tour. Remarkable experience! Standing atop ancient ice makes you feel surreal. Great admiration to the nature. Glad that we joined tours organised by Banff Journey. Our guide did his best to make sure we had a wonderful time. He even prepared ice grips for us. Didn’t expect that. He was so helpful and attentive!! And then we saw many tourists from other tours kept slipping on the ice and we felt sorry for them. Highly recommend this trip and their guides. Don’t miss this point if you come to Banff!!

Great Day Tour! - The Columbia Icefields are interesting and a great experience! We left Calgary at 7 am and did not get back until 7:30 pm so it was a long day but totally worth it! We made several stops on the way and saw beautiful views at each stop. It snowed the day before so it was like riding through a winter wonderland. Tony, our driver was great. When we left Calgary the roads still had ice and slushy snow. Tony drove cautiously and made sure we arrived safely! I can not thank him enough for his careful driving. Additionally, Tony stopped at picturesque places and helped us by taking our pictures. The Icefields were interesting and riding in a snow coach was an experience. Great day trip and thank you Tony for your great driving and keeping us on time!

The tour provided enough time to explore each location. We felt fortunate that the weather was perfect. The breathtaking scenery remains clear in our memories. The glacier experience is also well worth it.

Wonderful Tour with a Few Suggestions - It was a great experience! Our guide, Louis, was kind, patient, and attentive to small details. The tour route was well-planned; however, I felt it was a bit too long. It might be even better if the route were shortened so that more time could be spent at the Icefield itself.
