First part of tour was great. Lunch in Banff was very expensive. Second half okay if you like to hike and are not elderly or have a disability. Bus was to drop off guests after tour at one hotel in Banff. Our tour dropped off at each hotel. Last hotel tour guide spent 30 minutes at hotel. For what reason? Returned to calgary late.

Considering I had to pay $280 as a solo traveller, I felt the experience was very lacking . I would not recommend to anyone.

If you are an old person and would like to keep the travel short and simple, this is for you. It was full of Chinese people and we felt like we were not the part of the group. They should have specifically mentioned that while booking so that I could have searched for some other tour. The tour guide, a Chinese guy, shouted at me because we were late from our only memorable event of gondola ride in the entire tour by 15 minutes. We felt like we were rushed in every place. $343 was too much given the experience. We had such a wonderful experience when we booked a tour in Seattle. But this experience changed my views.

A Perfect Tour of Banff
Douglas_W
, May 2022
This tour to Banff from Calgary was the best tour I have ever been on. The driver was very friendly and nice, the bus was clean and the trip itself was outstanding. We rode a gondola to the top of the mountain, saw elk and waterfalls, shopped in downtown Banff, and hiked the most beautiful trail along a river to a waterfall. The trip had a large variety of activities, gave us time to eat and bathroom breaks. The whole day was perfect!!!

Blew a tire, it was terrifying, no apology or compensation given, also caused 2h delay
Kayla_D
, Feb 2022
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!

Dear Value Customer,
We are sorry to learn that you did not have a good experience with us.
Although encountering the unexpected event, we still provided our tour service as described. It was a late start but our tour guide did make sure all the sightseeing spots were covered.
Additionally, at your refund request sent through via Viator, you mentioned that the tour guide was nice but you would like to ask for refund because this delay cost you extra for your next reservation. Despite the fact that this tour had been completed as the product description, we are willing to offer the requested refund as a good will, as long as you can provide the proof of your expense, simply because of the accounting record and the possible audit we could be facing in the coming year. We asked twice for your receipt before rejecting the refund but never receive one.
We are not sure if there are any reasons holding you back from providing the receipt, so please contact us if you would like to discuss this further. Thank you.
Best Regard,
Calgary Tours

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!

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.....
Amazing 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

Gondola superb experience
Jocelyn_G

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.

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.
