Customer Reviews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Amazing Tour! We went on a tour of Johnston Canyon today with our guide, Austin, and it was absolutely breathtaking! Austin was the perfect tour guide—knowledgeable, fun, witty, and always up for anything. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the trip. He’s also a great driver and made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Our girl Sassy gave him a run for his money, and he played along perfectly! We highly recommend this tour and especially Austin—he truly made it unforgettable.
I did the Lake O’Hara guided hike with Austin, and it was incredible. Our group chose the trail for the day and decided to hike to Lake McArthur. It was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. The transport included was super helpful, as I didn’t have to worry about figuring out my own way there and back (which would’ve been nearly impossible). It allowed me to visit somewhere really special. Austin was an excellent guide. He was informative, engaging, and passionate about the area. I couldn’t recommend this more. :)
I two whole day tours with Explore Banff, one with Brooke and one with Alyssa. Both were amazing. Pickup from Banff was super convenient and we were taking to the most beautiful sites. Both tour guides were super knowledgeable and made the tour be catered towards the group they were with and always made sure to check in everyone throughout the entire day tours. Would 100% recommend Explore Banff Tours to anyone who is not renting a car but wants to explore the nearby Jasper, Kootenay, and Yoho National Park while learning about the wildlife and history of the area from knowledgeable tour guides!
