Our tour guide, Boyd, is perfect. The journey he brought us is really comfortable and relax. You just need to follow his steps and you will see the great view and experience the ice field. The ride is also smooth and he shares some stories and hostory about the mountains, banff park and his knowledge of the local natural environment. It is worth to join and experience the banff with this program and local operator.

The tour guide, Kenneth, was friendly and caring. He walked up to the Peyto Lake view point with us. He could have taken a break at each stop. He even drove back and turned his van around because we spotted bears in the wood along the highway.

The travel agency will email detailed information the day before the trip and can pre-book tickets for the Ice Explorer and Skywalk (adults CAD$130, teenagers CAD$90). Our tour guide, Jesse, is from Hong Kong and speaks Mandarin, Taiwanese Hokkien, Cantonese, and English. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with ample time at each attraction. Along the way, he introduced sights and told stories, and even provided bottled water and small cookies. Since it was a small bus, there weren't many people, and all the group members happened to be foreigners who were punctual and arrived early, so there were no delays to the schedule. The only minor drawback was that the seats on the small bus were a bit hard and the legroom was limited, which made long journeys a bit uncomfortable. Other than that, everything was wonderful!

This is a full and tightly-packed itinerary, starting from the Banff hotel around 9 am and running until 7 pm, with beautiful lake views. Then, we had 3 hours of fun at the glacier (at our own expense). Our tour guide, Lam, was very professional and helped us take many beautiful photos. Thank you, Lam!

Jacky was our tour guide, he was very friendly and informative on the fun facts along the drive, and he even helped us for pictures or getting around the lake stops. The itinerary was great, although my only suggestion would be to have some more time for the Columbia Icefield stop as we only got about 3h, however with the Icewalk itself taking about 2h (including waiting for the buses), we only had ~15mins to spend at the Skywalk and didnt have time at all for the discovery centre, but thats more on the Columbia icefields logistics as their buses take a while (so not the actual tour here). If we were allowed maybe an extra hour it wouldve been even better. Overall still a 10/10 experience and one of the top highlights of my sister and I's trip, will definitely do it again and I highly recommend Jacky as he was a superb tour guide!

We had a wonderful tour along the Icefields Parkway, with stops at Bow Lake and Peyto Lake. The drive itself was absolutely spectacular, with incredible mountain scenery, glaciers, and beautiful landscapes the entire way. Bow Lake was especially stunning and one of the highlights of the trip. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the view at Peyto Lake because it was raining, but that's just part of nature and gives us a great reason to come back again. A special thank you to our tour guide, Michael, who made the experience even better. He was so funny, friendly, and incredibly informative, sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the journey. His sense of humor kept everyone entertained, and he made the long drive enjoyable from start to finish. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend this tour!

I highly recommend this tour—it was an amazing experience and absolutely worth it! They offer the tour in both English and Chinese, which is great. The atmosphere was fantastic; our guide, Kenneth, managed to drive while providing engaging commentary and keeping the energy high the whole time. At each spot, Kenneth not only explained the sights but also acted as a photography pro, helping us take pictures and teaching us how to get the best shots. There were also thoughtful extras—having hot cocoa waiting for us after a sightseeing stop was such a heartwarming touch. In the freezing, snowy conditions, Kenneth took great care of everyone, providing excellent winter gear and making sure we all stayed warm. Overall, a flawless and unforgettable trip!
