Reviews summaryI had the time of my life visiting Banff with Rocky Mountain Trips! From the moment we booked the tour, communicating with the team was a breeze and they were more than happy to answer any of our queries. Pick up was seamless, the drive was smooth and safe, and the rest of the day that followed was truly memorable. Our guide, Angel, was nothing short of amazing. Equal parts funny and informative, and also had superb music taste alongside great photography skills! Where possible, he’d bring us around and help ensure we got the best shots at the best photo spots. At the end, Angel even offered to jump into Lake Minnewanka with us - so do bring a change of clothes and capitalise on this opportunity! Truly cannot recommend this tour enough, do support this family business because they deserve every bit of it!
Mario from Rocky Mountain Trips is one of the nicest and most humble tour guides I’ve ever met. From the moment our Banff tour began, he made everyone feel welcome with his warm hospitality, kindness, and genuine care. His knowledge, friendly personality, and passion for sharing the beauty of the Canadian Rockies made the experience even more memorable. Thank you, Mario, for making our Banff adventure so special. Wishing you all the best, and I hope to join another trip with you someday! 🍁🏔️😊
The tour was great and I would definitely this recommend others. The itinerary and the views we got from it was extraordinary. Our guide, Teddy, was also the cherry on top. He made the trip memorable.
Had a great time with Angel! He was just the best tour guide I’ve ever met. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and passionate. He explained everything so clearly and made the entire trip enjoyable. (And thank you for the great music selections as well😄😄) We were also lucky to have beautiful weather, which made the scenery even more breathtaking and perfect for taking photos. Since I only had one day to explore Banff, this tour helped me make the most of my time. It was truly a memorable and unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Banff!
The guide, Angel is nice and knowledgeable! we also had a bonus route before going back to Calgary. I really enjoyed my 1st day in BANFF! this is a small group tour, will definitely book them on my next visit. ps, you can see the Calgary Tower too from the meet up location 🫶
We had a amazing experience on the Best of Banff National Park tour with Angel as our guide. Angel was incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire day. He made everyone feel welcome, shared interesting information about the area, and ensured the tour ran smoothly. The tour itself was excellent value for money. Compared to many similar tours, the price was very reasonable, especially considering the beautiful locations we visited and the quality of the experience. Everything was well organized, and we never felt rushed. Thank you, Angel, for making our Banff trip so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! 😊🏔️✨
This tour is a must if you are in Calgary or want a quick preview to Banff National Park. It is a family owned business but they are super professional. my guide was Luis and he was super entertaining and knowledgeable about the Park. He even threw in some extra stops to let us capture beautiful photos.
Our tour guide, Angel, did an excellent job. He was very informative and made the tour feel relaxed and enjoyable. He also shared helpful tips on where to get the best views at each tourist spot we visited. Although we couldn't go to Moraine Lake because the road was closed due to weather conditions, they offered alternative places to explore instead.
A perfect one-day Banff experience! If you only have one day to explore Banff, this tour is a great choice. It covers all the highlights — Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Town, Bow Falls, and Lake Minnewanka — efficiently without feeling rushed. Our guide, Teddy, was fantastic. He managed time really well, shared interesting stories about each spot, and helped us capture some amazing photos. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy the day to the fullest. Highly recommend this small-group tour!
Thank you for making my first solo trip incredibly memorable. I had a great time exploring Banff. Thanks to our knowledgeable and very friendly tour guide, Marco! I am looking forward on my next trip🥰
