A well-spent two-hour walking tour around town - We had an amazing time during the walking tour. Our tour guide Jess gave us an overview of the history of Banff, and walked through the town at the perfect pace and pointed out interesting spots along with way. We got the lay of the land after the tour, and got some nice photos as well. Another benefit is we learned where all the washrooms are after the tour, which comes handy when we were exploring the town in the next few days . Overall we highly recommend this tour and would suggest adding it to your itinerary!

Thank you, Jess! - Jess was a delight! Very informative & not boring! It was a great way to get a glimpse of what to do & see and where to eat. She happened to point out Block Kitchen + Bar. We had lunch there & loved it! Grateful for the suggestion.

Great insights to a beautiful town - Lovely experience discovering some of the hidden gems of Banff, alongside the history and cultural insights with our great guide Jess. We try and do a tour like this in all the places we are fortunate to visit and sometimes have modest expectations regarding how much there will actually be to discover. On this tour, those expectations were definitely exceeded. We explored the history of the railroad and its pivotal role in the development of the Town, experienced beautiful nature walks, heard about the early pioneers, the indigenous culture and the tourism boom with lots of great tips on coffee shops, bars and restaurants for the remainder of our short trip. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Banff who enjoys getting under the skin of the place where they are staying
