He shared fascinating information about the history, wildlife scenery, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, included throughout the tour. The breathtaking views and memorable stops made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely recommend this tour and especially our guide, William, to anyone visiting the Rockies thank you for helping make our trip special.

Amazing scenery - The scenery was amazing. A great way to see all the sites if time limited. Our guide Sam was friendly, energetic and enthusiastic. It’s a long day of driving but well worth it. We even saw three grizzly bears!!

knowledgeable tour guide for tour to the Columbia icefield - Chris Lam provided knowledgeable information as the tour progressed on the way to the Icefield. There were a number of stops on the way back. The stops provided an excellent chance to get beautiful pictures of the landscape.

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!
