Awesome trip with an super awesome guide
We had an amazing experience with Banff Everyday Tour. From pickup to drop-off, everything was on schedule and our guide Roger made sure there was not a single moment when the trip became boring. I met all the co-passengers the same day and till today I remember all of them properly, all thanks to the awesome experience. They made sure we saw each location and enjoyed to the fullest (except time at Banff town could be a little more). The whole trip was a memorable one and would definitely recommend it to everyone even with your friends, family and even in couples. Banff Everyday & Roger make a great team...!

Columbia icefield and Skywalk Tour
This experience was amazing! The staff from our shuttle bus drivers to the guide/driver taking us on the Columbia Icefield - this tour surpassed our expectations. The skywalk was also amazing as it gave you an insights on the various animals/creatures of the area and geology along with amazing views.

Maligne Lake Cruise
323chantellev, Sep 2026
A great introduction to Jasper
Trevor was our guide for the day and was friendly, polite and answered all the questions people had. We learnt so much about the town of Jasper, the animals and plant life of the area. It was an interesting day. The boat cruise was very special and the guides Mitchell & Bea were fun and then insightful. The boat cruise was around 1.5 hours in total with a stop at Spirit Island for about 20 mins to take photos.On the way to the lake and on the return to Jasper we were taken to spots to look for animals and saw an elk a two moose on our trip-no bears sadly this time but Trevor explained about all sorts of wildlife living in the national park.The Lake Maligne lakeside area was very pretty with a waffle hut, gift shop, toilets and a good restaurant to get lunch or coffee.

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Rockies trip 2026
Loading onto Gondola was fast and efficient. Plenty to see at top. Restaurant, viewing decks, and nice walk to observatory. Clouds started coming in (we had a 9:50am boarding) so views of town, river, and mountains became very limited. We parked in Train station parking lot and took Gondola shuttle to loading area-good idea since it was free parking and when we came back to town we could still walk town without worrying about car or moving it.

Wonderful,informative tour. Our guide was full of interesting information. One suggestion, take water and sit down breaks- 3 hours of walking is a long time without a break.

Columbia Icefield Tour with Glacier Skywalk
BGMNJ, Sep 2026
Glad we did it!
I was concerned it might be a bit hokey, but friends who have done the tour enjoyed it. So we booked it. The excursion did not disappoint. Standing on a glacier is a unique experience. And learning more about use fields and glaciers was very educational. The tour gives you 20-30 minutes on the glacier which is sufficient. Plus, it is an experience just getting there on these special vehicles. All in all, a special and unique experience with an excellent guide.

Helpful Guides
Our guides, Diane & Margaret were very informative, helpful & friendly. We were lucky enough to experience a combination of both routes as it was a quiet Sunday. The only improvement would be the cushions on some of the seats as the ride can be quite ‘harsh’ on the back. Also we would suggest seat belts for one of the rows as it is above the one in front with nothing to stop you falling forward if the driver has to brake suddenly. However none of it spoilt our trip 😊

Wear comfy clothes & shoes! The trail at Moraine Lake was steep at times & rugged (but breathtaking). My husband had to stop halfway, his back & knees were complaining! Our guide, Apple (?) was very entertaining, answered all our questions and was looked out for our safety. Highly recommend.
