Ebike crossing from Jonhstone Canyon to Banff via scenic route and by a vehicle-free ride. - We used our last day in Canada to take a bike tour of Johnston Canyon. First we went to the Canyon by van and then we picked up the e-bikes to return to Banff through a spectacular scenic route Everything perfect, spectacular views and Dylan, our guide, was professional, friendly and very helpful and Bill was at all times attentive to the van in case logistical support was needed. Almost new bikes.

Great Guide, Fun Experience. - Michael was a great guide! He was knowledgeable about all things nature (plants, fungi, animals) and we really got to geek out the whole trip. This was our first time on an E Bike and it was easy to learn. The hike (although crowded due it being peak season) was easy and beautiful. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone coming to Banff.

A Wonderful Trip - Thoroughly Recommended! - We had an awesome day! Because the weather in the afternoon looked a bit threatening, the plan was to drive up to the Canyon first and then cycle back.
The trip up in the minibus with Bill and Dylan (spelling?) passed quickly as we chatted away, sharing experiences from all over the world.
We hiked up the Canyon to the Twin Falls with our guides giving us interesting context all the way and would gladly have continued up higher had time permitted.
The cycle back on the eBikes had me slightly worried but I needn't have been concerned: Dylan imbued confidence and was a great host, stopping for the occasional photo opportunity and before we knew it, the 25km were done and we were back in Banff.
The only downside was the fact that our wildlife experience amounted to a duck, a magpie and a seagull... maybe we'll have better luck next time!

Fun ride and beautiful waterfalls - We had a pleasant ride up to the canyon and we saw some big horned sheep by the road. Our guide, Megs, was very informative and fun.

Great way to spend several hours on a gorgeous day! - The ride was long but broken up into several stops for pictures and educational purposes. We chose to bike in the first group and then ride back on the bus after the bike/hike. Megs, our tour guide was awesome and so sweet and talkative! The e-bikes were easy to use and quite powerful. I think taking this tour was a great way to see a lot of territory in a short amount of time. We packed snacks but didn’t eat anything u til on the van riding back so don’t stress about bro going enough food/snacks.

Over all good. bike ride was also good - overall experience was good. I just wished they had spent more time on the going up the canyon vs. biking back to the starting point.
The canyon can be done independent of any tours and and is free of charge.
