An Absolute Must For Any Banff Trip - Jacob was an incredible guide, giving us the true highlight of our week in Banff and Lake Louise. Great stories, great pictures and a true Canadian adventure. If you’re spending an evening in Banff, this is an absolute must. You’re truly out in nature, and you’ll remember it forever!

Well worth doing - Fantastic tour, more than we could have imagined. The guide did have some very awkward guests that he dealt with very professionally so as to not affect any other guests. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't find a gentle walk and incredible views with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide.

Must-do tour, best guide - We really enjoyed our evening “star” gazing despite it being cloudy. It was interesting walking with Jacob and listening to his wisdom of his native Banff. Sadly I wish we could have done more hikes with him, however, it certainly will be on our list when we return, because we really would like to return to this beautiful area. It was nice getting away from the crowds on this hike as even late in the season, there were plenty of crowds. Thanks Jacob, we’ll be back.

Great night experience in Alberta - This experience was made great by our guide: Jacob! He showed us how to take photos of the stars using our iPhones! Super cool, see our attached photos. Jacob is packed with knowledge of both the area of the hike, it’s history and has a pretty decent understanding of astrology. He has a delightful sense of humor and honestly made the experience very light-hearted and enjoyable. Keep in mind, nothing is guaranteed due to weather conditions and time of year, but something worth checking out to enjoy the beauty that Alberta has to offer.

Highly recommend - Great knowledge and humour from Jacob. Loved the photo opportunities at dusk. It had been a cloudy day and we thought this was going to be a total waste of money. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Loved all the stars. Would defo do again.

A Unique Experience for All Skill Levels - This is definitely a must-do whether you’re in Banff or Canmore! We had Alpine Jake as our guide and he alone is reason enough to take part in this experience! He is incredibly knowledgeable of the area, and makes you feel incredibly safe as you trek through the dark woods. Be prepared for some scary folk tales that will get the hair on the back of your neck standing, but also for some incredible views & pictures! Definitely would recommend for all ages & experience levels, and we’ll definitely book with Jacob again if we find ourselves in the area!

Unbelievable unique experience! - Our tour with Jacob was unbelievable! He is a great experienced guide and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Banff National Park and had lots of laughs along the way. We enjoyed a surprise treat and stargazing looking across the Bow River. We would definitely book another tour with Canmore Trails and Tales the next time we're in the area. We highly recommend them. -Charlotte & Joe

lots of stars - This was the last of 4 tours we booked with this company. We met our guide outside of Banff near Lake Minnewanka. We walked to and around the lake for nice views of the night sky with no light pollution. I imagine this would be a perfect spot when the northern lights are out. Jacob, our guide, was funny and very knowledgeable about the area. The road to the lake is in a wildlife preserve and Jacob gave us a night safari on the drive out spotting a very cute white fox and deer. Would not hesitate using this company again.
