Terrific tours of Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and surrounding areas - A terrific experience with our guide Duncan Rodway. Duncan had an amazing breadth of knowledge about the geology, wildlife and plants of all the areas we saw. He had good insights about Canada’s history and its peoples, including the First Nations, as well. Duncan had an intuitive feel for what my wife and I needed and he took good care of us. Plus he was excellent company. Duncan was with us for two days - a tour from Banff to Lake Louise and surrounding areas, and then a tour from Lake Louis to Jasper, including parts of the Jasper National Park. High points included the incredible beauty of the wild areas north of Lake Louise, the Athabasca Glacier in the Columbia Icefields, and the Athabasca Falls. We were very happy with the entire experience. Highly recommended.

Awesome views seen with great guidance! - Our trip to the Canadian Rockies via the Rocky Mountaineer was fabulous. What made this trip even better was Alberta blue sky tours. They were great guides (Del and Jake) and had lots of knowledge about the area and history. Very personable and extremely courteous. I would highly recommned them for your next adventure through the Rockies! Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Amazing and informative - Duncan was knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him. He is a great person for the job. Our group asked many questions and he was able to answer them all. He even made it snow which was incredible! I high suggest these tours.

Lake Louise and Moraine Lake day tour - Jake was very knowledgeable and made the trip very interesting. It was great to go to some of these spots on the van as we had seen them from the train. The museum was particularly interesting. So glad we did this!

Wonderful visit - Very happy with the tour. Informative and just right physically. Was able to see grizzly mum & cubs by the road, plus fabulous views helped by superb weather (a bit hazy due to forest fire smoke, but almost perfect!) Duncan was great and helped our group experience the best views and was very knowledgeable and helpful herding us all along.

Amazing Beauty of Canada - Our Lake Louise and Moraine Lake Full day tour with Duncan was absolutely amazing! Duncan was a super tour guide and explained the details of each of the locations that we stopped at. At Moraine Lake he offered to take us through the trail to the rockpile to overlook the lake or take the flat path. Some took the flat path, but the majority of us took the trail with Duncan. The panoramic views of the lake were breathtaking and its iconic ten peak mountain backdrop. We also stopped at the beautiful Takakkaw Falls and the amazing Emerald Lake. You have to see these to believe the beauty of them all. This tour did not disappoint! I would highly recommend Alberta Blue Sky Tours and if you get Duncan as your tour guide, you're getting an exceptional bonus.

Spectacular tour - Informative tour of Banff and Lake Louise. Learned so much about the area and the science that created such spectacular views. Delano was a perfect guide, responding to our requests. We never felt rushed. And his knowledge added so much to our experience.
