Delicious food tour

This tour was wonderful from start to finish! Barbara was a delightful guide with lots of local history knowledge as well as food knowledge. Gorgeous views both inside and outside the hotel. Every food course was DELISH! I would book this tour time and time again without hesitation.

amazing food in a historic building
Trena_R
, Dec 2021
You may think, how can you do a food tour in one building? Well, it is possible and the food is amazing. The Fairmont Banff Springs is a huge property with a fantastic culinary program where ingredients are grown on site or sourced locally. There are multiple eateries each with their own specialties. Each stop includes a specialty from the specific eatery paired with drink. The food is set, but you are given a choice between a couple of drinks that will pair nicely with the food at most of the stops. As you move from location to location, you also get a tour of the hotel and hear the history of the building and how it was built facing the wrong direction much to the ire of the original founder.
Response from Host , Dec 2021
Dear Trena,
Thank you for taking the time to give our Eat the Castle Canadian Signature Experience this lovely review. I will share your comments with our team and the hotel's fantastic culinary team as well.
We sure appreciate you including our tour in your vacation. Please come back and try our Alberta Food Finder game in Canmore and Calgary next time!
With gratitude,

Great Food and Hotel History

Kerry was an excellent tour host, she knew the property well and was able to entertain us with stories along the tour. We visited four restaurants and a chef from each came out to talk to us. This was the highlight for me, to hear their passion and love of their establishments. They explained the uniqueness of their place and about our food sample. What impressed me most was the challenge Fairmont has given for a zero waste operation. Each chef spoke to eat with eagerness and delight at their creativity to accomplish this. The food was amazing at each different stop. The drinks were also very good, but could have been better if they included alcohol.
Response from Host , Oct 2019
Dear 189deb,
Thank you so much for your kind words about the tour, the Fairmont Banff Springs, the amazing chefs we get to work with and our guide Kerry. I will be sharing this with all concerned.
It's illegal in Alberta for us to sell alcohol that someone else is licensed for. That is why we provide amazing culinary craft spirit-free beverages on all our tours and negotiate a special price for the alcohol drinks guests can buy on their own. I am currently working on an innovation with government to get around this but it is a long road. Thanks for your encouragement. I'll stick with it!
With gratitude,

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
