A Tour to Remember – Thanks to Jake, the “Most Handsome” Guide! - If you’re lucky enough to end up on a tour with Jake, you’re in for a treat — and not just because he proudly declares himself the “most handsome tour guide in the company” (a claim he repeats often and with a wink). Jake brought our entire experience to life with his energy, humor, and genuinely impressive knowledge. He managed to strike the perfect balance between informative and entertaining, sprinkling fascinating facts with just the right amount of cheeky charm. His stories were vivid, his timing impeccable, and yes — his confidence? Unshakable. While the sights were stunning on their own, it was Jake’s larger-than-life personality that made the day unforgettable. Whether or not he is the most handsome is still up for debate… but he’s definitely one of the best guides we’ve ever had and very passionate about the area. Highly recommend booking with this company – and if you get Jake, just tell him his reputation precedes him. He’ll love that!

Despite the weather an excellent trip - Fantastic scenery with on the drive up and at Bow River, Lake Louise and a few other stops. Although rain and low clouds obscured some of the beauty of the lake, Heidi our guide was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made trip. The bus was very clean and comfortable too

Loved this tour which was booked through our hotel concierge at Rimrock. Got some fabulous pics and super memories! As made afew other stops on route. The hot chocolate and cookie was a nice touch too. Comfy small seater coach for that more personable touch. Can't recommend highly enough! Thank you.

Terrific tour guides - This trip was brilliant. I booked it because it includes seeing alot of sights in one day. The best part of this amazing tour, by far , were our tour guides Molly and Amy. I learnt so much from them, that I otherwise would have never known. I hope to come back to Banff and book more tours.
