Would definitely recommend. - We had a great tour - even if most of the wildlife took a raincheck!
Ollie was a perfect host, and an engaging and knowledgeable guide. He made a point of knowing all our names when he picked us up - so different to some, larger-group experiences - and took time to learn more about us and what we were looking for from the trip.
A great Ambassador for your business.

Sunset tour was a winner! - Our Radventures Sunset tour was a winner! Lake Moraine was stunning in the fading sunlight and we sat in silence at the lookout enjoying the serenity and the fresh sandwich and fruit provided by Radventures. Lake Louise was breathtaking without the usual crowds and our guide, Ollie, continued his excellent photography skills providing us with treasured memories. His jovial nature brought the small group together, entertaining us and providing much knowledge on the wildlife, geographical wonders and history of the region. When planning our trip from Australia, I wanted a small, local company and Radventures have been fantastic! Their communication is excellent, the buses comfortable and we particularly enjoyed our guide, Ollie. Can highly recommend!

- Our tour guide Bec was amazing. She knows the places, history, and geography very well and uses that to keep us informed, engaged. She took time to make sure our group absorb all the sites and important places. It was like traveling with a friend who is very knowledgeable than a tour guide.
Thank you Bec!!

Ollie was a great guide - Ollie was a great host and kept the trip buoyant despite the damp weather. He kindly provided warm drinks to compensate a little for the drizzle. Lots of useful information about the area and some fascinating animal insights. Great trip, thoroughly recommend.

Engaging lake tour at dusk - A very pleasant drive from Banff to Lakes Louse and Moraine and back via circular route. Our guide Ollie was knowledgeable and engaging and well versed with his facts and figures. He accompanied us throughout and provided water and bug spray! Not a lot of wildlife in all honesty. Saw one grazing elk in the early dark plus Ollie's various bear videos.
Only downside was being asked to sign a totally one-sided legal waiver against any and all liability for the tour company. They need to review this.
Finally, the main failure was Ollie's support for West Ham ...

Loved the sunset tour! - We booked the sunset tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake for the final evening of our vacation. What a perfect experience! The scenery was breathtaking. I’m so glad we booked an evening tour because there were no crowds and we could truly enjoy the tranquility at both locations. Our guide, B, was personable, engaging, informative and fun! She went out of her way to make everyone in our group feel comfortable. She shared tons of interesting information about the area and everyone appreciated her genuine warmth, easy going nature and sense of humor. I especially appreciated how much she engaged my children (ages 10 and 12). They were thrilled to see wildlife on the Bow Valley Parkway, especially a bear! Highly recommend this tour.

Sunset at the lakes - Had a good time going up to see Moraine Lake and Lake Louise with our guide and driver Gini. The lakes were beautiful, although the cloud cover probably was a little bit of a hindrance to the color. Not exactly sure that sunset is the best time to see the lakes. We were able to see a grizzly bear and cubs on the way up, and a black bear on the way back.
Overall though had a really nice time and thanks again to Gini for her friendly conversation and knowledge of the area.
