All-encompassing experience thru the icefields - Alysa is super knowledgeable about all aspects of the park, including the local ecology, geology, history, all which encompassed a thorough view of the wonders that are the icefields! A very thoughtfully laid out itinerary for all groups, with plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. The weather also turned out beautifully for us adding so much to the experience. Thanks again for your hard work and appreciation of nature :)

Ice Parkway Tour - We had booked our trip for 8:00 am, but somehow recorded it as 8:30 in our trip planner. We didn’t realize our error until 8 o’clock. Explore Banff was able to get us on the 8:30 tour. Our guide was terrific. Neither one of us can remember her name, but she was really good and a wealth of information. She went over beyond to provide as much information as we needed.

An experience not to be missed - An amazing adventure. Increasing our appreciation of nature and the variety of it. The Athabasca glacier is awe inspiring and makes one even more aware of human's impact on this world. A huge thanks to our guides Brooke and Zack. Knowledgeable and personable. A great combination. Small group tours are a must.

Flexible and prompt service - This is a fabulous company to deal with. They were prompt answering all questions and flexible when we wanted to change our tour dates. We did two tours and both times the guides were helpful, knowledgeable and really nice people. Thanks Jamie and Andy! Highly recommend.

What an amazing experience! - First time in Alberta. We went as a family of 5. We took the Lake Louise/Moraine Lake adventure and the Icefields Parkway tour. Both were amazing. The 2 Lake tours were led by Brook and the Icefields was led be Cam. Both were amazing. The tour guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. They provided a history lesson along the way. Plenty of time to stop and see other lookout views. We were very impressed with this company. When tring to get information, the manager Josh contacted us and answered all of our questions without any pressure to book. I will recommend this tour company to all my friends and family.

Great tour, thanks to guide. - Excellent tour saw all sights listed. Tour guide Cam did a good job timing things to miss the biggest crowds. Thanks to Cam for advice to drive thru Banff golf course in evening.

Incredible day on the Icefields Parkway - I had the most incredible day with Anikah from Explore Banff on our trip through the Icefields parkway! We had all four seasons in one day. We started off in rain which turned to a snowstorm but by the time we got to the Columbia Icefield it was the most glorious sun and blue sky. We saw 3 black bears and endless wildflowers. Anikah was so much fun to talk to all day and her passion for her job was apparent. Her excitement made me even more excited. I took another tour with Explore Banff and both times were incredible. I will definitely book with Explore Banff when I come back!!

Tour Provider Cancelled Day Of Tour - As we were waiting for the tour guide to arrive, we received a text message and a phone call that the tour operator could not do the tour and had to cancel. We did receive a refund but this was devastating as much of our vacation was planned around this and we had no contingency. Rental car places are all closed on Sunday. We did receive a refund but this was a nightmare level experience.
