Amazing - The experience was amazing. We have never experienced anything like this before. This wasn't just a cave tour where you walk around and look at the cave. This was a full blown experience of hiking, setting up, climbing, crawling, croutching, sliding. Not to mention our tour guide John was super enthusiastic, informative, helpful and kept everyone safe. Overall, it was a great experience. Thank you, Canmore Cave Tours. Cheers from Winnipeg.

Junior Forest Wardens Caving Tour - We had 2 large groups of youth attend the adventurer tour during the family day weekend. The staff was amazing from the initial meet and greet, getting the gear sorted out, lots of knowledge while hiking up to the cave, and amazing during the tour. The guides were super motivating and inspired all 48 people to push their limits and explore some very cool spots inside the cave. We had numerous people come out of the caves and say; "that was the best trip ever" , "I never thought I would like caving now I want to do the adventurer tour". Thank you to the staff and guides, they are very experienced, reassuring and make you feel very comfortable during the whole trip.

I keep bringing more family and friends - this time, my 78 Year Old Dad! - This is my 5th or 6th visit. Each time I go, It's just as good. I've taken family and friends, and recently, my 78 year old Dad on the 4hour Explorer Tour. It was epic for my brother, Dad, and two of our children to be together. And Chewy the Rat made an appearance, and chewed on my brother's boots, as one might expect based on his name. Annie was fantastic, and Lenora was great with advice on whether or not we should book with my Dad or not. I'm so glad my Dad got the opportunity to experience the cave, and Canmore Cave Tours supported us all the way. And for those wondering, yes, it's moderately challenging. Not every 78 year old should be expected to handle this experience - but for those who can, you won't regret it!

A unique kind of experience that you won’t get anywhere else - I did the explorer tour solo, and I absolutely loved it. It was such a unique experience and I will recommend it to anyone who likes the adventure. The guide was knowledgeable and was patient when I was making my way down the cave. The hike to the cave was also absolutely amazing with great views of the mountains.

Awesome day out - Fantastic tour! As moms of young families, my good friend and I realized we couldn't remember the last time we'd had an adventure for ourselves. So we planned an awesome moms only adventure day and came away from this tour feeling like heroes. Our guide Annie was amazing - she had so much knowledge and passion for the cave and was lovely and encouraging with two newbie adventurers. I'm going to be bragging about this experience for a while!
