Wonderful trip! Huge thanks to our professional and thoughtful tour guide, Edward. The days were filled with stunning Banff views, beautiful photo stops, and even hot drinks and snacks prepared by Edward — such a great experience. Highly recommend!
Our guide, Tony, was right on time during the pick up and gave us a detailed brief of the itinerary. We stopped along the way when we saw some wildlife (mountain goats, elk)! We stopped by Bow Lake first and Abraham Lake (ice bubbles) second. Since it snowed a few days back, the lake was covered in snow so it was tough to find clear spots to see the ice bubbles through the frozen lake. 😢 Nevertheless, we found some! Everyone was given snow spikes to put on their shoes to help with walking in the snow and ice. Last stop was Peyto Lake with a short 1.5km hike up to the view point to see the snow-covered lake shaped like a 🐺! Overall, great experience with some hot chocolate and hot water for everyone to battle the -20/-30C weather!
The tour was absolutely amazing! The itinerary was well-packed with a great variety of activities, and all the scenic spots we visited were breathtakingly beautiful. Our guide Mr. William was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Plus, the driving was very safe and steady throughout the trip. I highly recommend joining this tour to all the people who are traveling to Banff!
Winter weather in Banff can be unpredictable, and during our tour, road closures meant we couldn’t follow the original itinerary. However, excellent customer service informed us well in advance and clearly explained the alternative itinerary, which immediately put us at ease. Despite the challenging conditions, our guide went above and beyond to make the day as enjoyable as possible. They carefully adjusted the plan, brought us to beautiful alternative locations, and made sure we never felt rushed or disappointed. Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, we still had an amazing experience and discovered stunning spots we might not have otherwise visited. Highly recommended!
Our journey through Banff’s winter wonderland was truly unforgettable. From the moment we set off, the Banff Journey’s team made every effort to keep us warm and comfortable in the snowy landscape. Their thoughtful touches and constant care made us feel safe, welcomed, and completely at ease throughout the entire day. We explored some of the region’s most breathtaking spots, each more magical than the last. Thanks to their free rental of crampons and snowshoes, we were able to walk steadily even when the trails were covered in deep snow. Turning what could have been a challenging trek into an enjoyable and worry-free experience. But what truly elevated the experience was the exceptional team behind the tour. They went above and beyond. Checking in on everyone, offering warm drinks and cozy comforts, and ensuring we never missed a moment worth remembering. Their passion, kindness, and attention to detail made the day not just beautiful, but truly special.
The itinerary was great, and the waterfalls were spectacular and beautiful. Bow Lake reflected the mountains like a mirror. Peyto Lake looked like a five-pointed star in the distance, and its water was very blue.
I highly recommend Edward's tour! Besides the interesting commentary, he took us to super fun spots, and provided everything we needed for playing in the snow, including equipment, food, and hot drinks. He also drove very safely! Even though the lake bubbles weren't great, we still had an amazing time. It didn't matter at all that we didn't see the bubbles; we had so much fun, so much fun!
I was really looking forward to seeing the bubbles at Abraham Lake, and it was beyond my imagination. It snowed the day before, so it wasn't a clear ice lake, and we had to sweep away the snow while looking for bubbles, but it was worth it. The guide, Edward, who was with us, was also very kind, which was great.
