Great tour of Banff with vistas, wildlife and a gondola ride! - The tour was amazing. Our guide, Georgia, was incredibly knowledgeable and you could tell loved the park. She knew so much about the area and the animals. I would definitely recommend this tour. We saw elk, Big Horn White Sheep, deer and chipmunks.

This Was Amazing! 100% Recommend! - I loved seeing all of the wildlife and the beautiful views. The tour was the perfect way to learn about Banff. Our guide, Bee, was the nicest person ever and I loved her energetic and bubbly personality. I would love to do this tour again someday and I 100% recommend to people who love nature! (I especially loved that I was a magnet and good luck charm for the wildlife).

Well worth it - We had a lot of fun. We didn't see a lot of animals on that particular day (cold and snowy), but our guide was great and we saw some beautiful country side. We'd do it again.

Great Small Group Tour! - A most enjoyable evening with our guide, Aaron. After a weekend of snow, rain and cold, we were grateful for a sunny evening to get a fabulous view of the mountains surrounding Banff. Spotted whitetail and mule deer, elk, and bighorn sheep (ewes and young adults) just off Mt. Norquay Road. It was a great way to see some of the real “locals” in such beautiful settings. Aaron also shared some of the history of Banff as we viewed the Fairmont Banff Springs from a distance at “Surprise Corner”, the golf course in town, and people who have been in the area for thousands of years and the European settlers who came less than 200 years ago. The small group size was very nice as well.

Fantastic - Very nice tour in the area of Banff. A lot seen and also heard about the surroundings, the beasts and nature. Pleasant guide (Bee) who told enthusiastically and answered questions. We were driven around in a small bus with 11 people that could stop anywhere.

Perfect way to see Banff! - We took the Banff Highlights & Wildlife Tour with Georgia, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking to see the park from the comfort of an air conditioned vehicle with a knowledgeable guide. Georgia was kind and thorough and she packed a TON into the 3 hours. We lucked out and saw upwards of 30 elk in various locations, plenty of deer, and sheep! It was like a Canadian safari. Georgia also put together a helpful collection of recommendations in the area for the rest of our trip. 10/10. Would definitely recommend fitting this into your itinerary.
