Just arrived in Banff at 9.15 pm, I called and Lucy answered to me explaining that they are closed from 9 but still organized our stay. For the day after, everything has been done for 2 activities, Horseriding and rafting for the family. In the morning, all were aware of our coming and was under control! Super Bravo Lucy! more

The Glacier Trail wasn't high on my list of things to do. I've spent some time in snow so didn't think the experience of walking on a real glacier would be that exciting. Turns out I was wrong! The tour started in Banff, we had a great stop at Lake Louise where I got to take photos of the picture... more

Did the Johnston Canyon tour, paid $60CDN per person. I had my own car and really did not need to use Discover Banff to take the tour. Would have cost me $10 in gas as opposed to the $120 in their costs. If you have y our own transport, drive yourself there, do the walk, read the posted signs all... more

I visited Banff with my ski club. For a rest day activity, I booked the Discover Banff Tours' Grotto Canyon Ice Walk for our group. Our guides Kevin and Ben promptly showed up at our appointed time to pick us up at the Banff Springs Hotel. The drive from Banff to Grotto Canyon was quite a treat for us since... more

Discover Banff Tours is by far the best tour company I have used in the Candian Rockies (and I used to live and work in Jasper and have met many tour guides and their companies). Hugh, our leader, was funny, knowledgeable, personable and extremely experienced. The bus ride to the natural attractions of Banff was fun because he gave us... more

We went on the Johnston Canyon Icewalk in the afternoon and it was wonderfull. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. She provided a lot of interesting info on the mountains and their formation on our way to the canyon. It took about 30mins to drive to the canyon from Banff. Upon arrival we were all given ice cleats... more

We went on two tours with Discover Banff Tours and enjoyed both of them. My husband and I went on the "Discover Banff" 3 hour tour when we first arrived in town. This takes you to the major attractions in and around Banff, including the Fairmont Hotel (an impressive site), the hoodoos, the abandoned mining town, and other locations. It... more

Think locals don't take guided tours in Banff? Not so...I decided to take a guided hike to Stanley Glacier with Discover Banff Tours to see what the blue busses were all about. After a quick pick up in Banff and a scenic drive through the Bow Valley, we arrived at the trailhead of our hike. Our group of four (small... more

Having seen previous reviews of this company I felt safe to book a day tour with them well in advance. The tour included a visit to see Boo the grizzly bear in a wild life refuge, a meal in a top mountain restaurant and a visit to Lake Lousie. The day began less than stellarly when we had to wait... more
