Banff Area 1-Day Tour from Calgary or Banff

Sulphur Mountain boardwalk on the peak was fantastic, also enjoyed the Johnston Canyon hike and opportunities for photos along the way.

Tour operator pulled us over 5mins into the drive saying he wanted to check the vehicle as it seemed unsafe. He called the company after to report this and no action was taken post call. We then got on highway 1 and 15mins in smelled burning rubber. The tour operator could clearly smell this and was sniffing around and for 30mins we could smell it until the tire finally blew. We then had to sit for 2h waiting for a replacement bus on the side of the highway being blown around by trucks who didn't always get into the far lane of trafic. Luckily no one was hurt just a lot of scared people on a bus. This also caused us a 2h delay so dont plan anything for after this like dinner reservations as if you also experience vehicle troubles the tour is not shortened to compensate. If you are booking during peak travel times you will definietlty need some reservations. It was hard to comment or apreciate the quality of the tour guide with it starting like this so for that I have no comment. I then expressed my concerns asking for only a percent of the tour money compensated and they said if I didn't have a receipt proving this costed me money they wouldn't refund anything. They lack concern for personal safety and I wouldn't advise using this company. Better to take a 45$ shuttle to Banff and book another company. We especially liked Radvendures if your looking for fun tours in Banff!

The trip was really memorable and had amazing experience. Our tour guide Allen was supper helpful and provided all information related to the places we visited. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. Highly recommended and definitely worth it!

Amazing tour ! Allen (the touristic guide) was amazing ! Patient, kind and very professional ! I want to come back during summer and I'm planning to book again with your company. It's a must ! Happy holidays, Stephanie.

This tour is worth the value. You get to see the best of Banff in 1 day! The pace is great and there is time to explore at own's pace.

Beautiful and perfect 1-day tour! Guide is very knowledgeable and courteous, Bus was a small 24-seater, perfect size. Sulphur Mountain Gondola Ride is a must-see, breathtaking 360 views of surrounding mountains: scenery is amazing. Banff downtown is great, and just enough time to walk around and visit. Loved the day!

The views on this excursion are breathtaking, definitely take advantage of the Gondola ride to the top of Sulphur Mountain the views are spectacular and worth every moment. Definitely will be recommending to this all! Allan was very knowledgeable and helpful and every stop was timed out and organized great! Thank you! Until next time.....

This trip was amazing but I wish there was more time. We got picked up and had to go to another hotel across town to transfer buses before we could go on our way. Alan was thankfully our guide. He is very knowledgeable and is always willing to point out the best spot for a picture and he will take it of yourself group so all are in the pictures. When we first arrived we had to go to a few hotels to pickup more people. This took up lots of time and cut into our time at the destinations. Because we didn’t know what time we would be arriving at destinations, we were not able to prebook a ticket for the gondola. When we arrived, we were given an hour and a half. When asking if we could go up the gondola, the only time slots would have given us only 10-15 minutes at the top when people usually spend an hour. We didn’t feel it was worth it so we went to the hot springs. Bring your bathing suit if you go but if you forget, you can rent one for only $2. Surprise corner was a bit of a let down. You just look at the fairmont hotel. That took about 15 minutes to get to and another 15 minutes for pictures then time heading back. Time I would have rather spent being able to do the gondola. Then when we finally got into town, we had about 75 minutes, including lunch. We’ll staff at restaurants there are in no rush so our lunch took up almost the whole time slot. We had just enough time to grab a quick souvenir from a shop and make it back to the bus. This was a great tour and the guide was amazing. I just wish the time spent was better allocated. If the people being picked up in Banff could have all met at one location like we did in Calgary, we could have had more time to spend at the actual attractions

Mountain top views that are breathtaking and spectacular Banff Park experiences all day long! David our guide and Barry our driver were tremendous! Highly recommend!

Jesse, the driver and guide does not speak clearly to be understood what he was saying, plus saying it in Cantonese and Mandarin didn't help at all, for all of us in the bus only speak English. He should have asked first if we are comfortable in 3 different languages. It was hot that day and bringing us all inside the bus without turning on the aircon was terrible. Somebody complained about it but Jesse ingored it. The views in Banff was amazing. Gondola experience was superb.
