Reviews
Booked 2 Banff trips with Klook and so far,the price value with the experience is great ! My first solo trip ever as a female,the trip was good ! Had a cloudy day for the first tour but it is still so beautiful as how it is. The second tour was sunny and so glad for it ! I like how the total of people who is going on both trips are not as much so it’s less people,more intimate in a van 🚐 driver//tourguide is friendly,tho second tourguide on the second tour is a bit late while picking up after lunchtime but still got time to do everything that’s on the itinerary ! Saw a canada jay before taking our gondola,which was very lucky. And such a pretty sunset when we’re in surprise corner !
Even though it snowed heavily today, the snowy scenery was incredibly beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect! While getting around and walking was a bit inconvenient, we all had a great time.
all the places we visited were very beautiful and breathtaking. however, I wish it wasn't so rushed at some places. the tour guide was really nice too!
Convenient and simple for people travel without own car.
the tour was amazing, their staff was so friendly,, a very pleasant tour experience that we felt, someday we will come back again for sure..
The time spent at the canyon was too short; the itinerary stated a 1.5-hour stop, but we were only given 1 hour.
Banff is like a little Switzerland; the mountain views are beautiful. Johnston Canyon's waterfalls and the scenery along the way are gorgeous. Highly recommended.

Lake Louise is truly beautiful, and the lake water is gorgeous. The color of the water at Moraine Lake is even more incredible. The glacial scenery in Canada is truly captivating.
