Tour guide Ben was knowledgeable and thoughtful throughout the trip. Despite the cramped itenary he still made sure we had sufficient time to visit every location which made the tour enjoyable. Banff is such a breathtaking place that I would recommend.

The tour was great, started on time and had plenty of time at each stop. The guide (Super mario) was friendly and a fountain of information. He took pictures for everyone at each stop with recommendations where to take the pictures. He also gave a lot of recommendations on what to do and where to eat in Banff.

Our first time doing a tour. Layse was our tour guide she was sweet and funny. The views of the ride from Calgary to Banff was the most amazing moments we’ve ever experienced!🤩 We would like to do this again soon!

We had a very enjoyable tour yesterday. The whole experience was comfortable, with a relaxed pace and enough time to explore all the places we wanted to visit. Our tour guide York was professional and not overly talkative, which made the trip feel pleasant and stress-free. Overall, it was a well-organised and comfortable tour that we really enjoyed!

Andy our guide was super lovely. We didn’t decide to do the gondola or the hot springs so he took us to Banff town and the cascade gardens so we could explore in the morning. You could tell he really loved his job as he provided so much information on the way. He was very punctual and got us to each location on time and overall such a good day!

Kenneth was our guide and he was absolutely BRILLIANT! Super friendly and welcoming as soon as we got on the bus, he handed out treats & water for us all constantly. You could tell he really loved his job. He provided stories on our journey and lots of information from Calgary to Banff. His choice of music was perfect as well. When we got to each location he even went out with us and helped with photos and shared jokes which really made our day! Best tour ever, don’t hesitate to book! 😊

My shuttle reservation failed, so I booked this tour instead, and it was the best decision. It was wonderful thanks to our guide, Andrew. Even though I couldn't understand everything in English, he was very kind and explained things well. It was truly great!

The trip was smooth and great! My only suggestion wouldve been some more time at both lakes as it felt we could have spent more time at each. But overall would 100% recommend if anyone wants a half day long lakes trip!

General info
What to know before visiting Banff
What to do in Banff throughout the year
Banff is best known for outdoor tours and nature-led experiences, with sightseeing tours and cultural experiences accounting for the most bookings on Klook. Demand rises and falls with the seasons: summer brings the biggest crowds, while winter months see far fewer visitors. Use Klook booking data to time activities—summer months offer the fullest program of guided tours and outdoor options, while winter and shoulder seasons are quieter and better for a slower pace. Decide whether you want lively summer energy or a calmer off-season rhythm: pick the season that matches your pace.
Best months to visit Banff
August is the clear high point for visitor numbers, while December is the quietest month, according to Klook booking data. Prices move across the year too: median paid prices peak in September and drift down to their low in June, so the busiest months and the priciest month don't align perfectly. If you want lower prices and fewer crowds, aim for June or the winter months; for peak-season atmosphere and the fullest range of tours, visit in August or September. Choose between lower cost and smaller crowds or full summer activity.
| Month | Demand Level | Typical Price |
|---|---|---|
| January | Very quiet | USD 51 |
| February | Very quiet | USD 57 |
| March | Very quiet | USD 77 |
| April | Very quiet | USD 73 |
| May | Very quiet | USD 57 |
| June | Busier than usual | USD 48 |
| July | Busier than usual | USD 78 |
| August | Peak demand | USD 73 |
| September | Peak demand | USD 82 |
| October | Peak demand | USD 70 |
| November | Quieter than usual | USD 71 |
| December | Very quiet | USD 51 |
Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.
Tips for travellers from the United States
Most travellers lock things in about four weeks ahead, with the earliest planners booking roughly nine weeks out, based on Klook booking data. That means you can often book within a few weeks and still find options, but during August and September — the busiest months — booking earlier pays off. If your dates are flexible, target June or winter months for lower median prices; if you want the full summer program, secure popular tours sooner. Use Klook to compare time slots and cancellation-friendly options and confirm bookings when your plans are set.
