Absolutely splendid tour! Bram, our guide, was simply delightful! He was so kind, brilliant, well-informed, and humorous. The 1930s theme was fantastic - it truly felt like we had stepped back in time with the vintage bus, period music, and the guide's attire. The tour was filled with fascinating facts and captivating stories. We couldn't stop smiling throughout the whole experience! The whole family absolutely adored it!

Oh, dear Kyle!
This British bloke really spiced up our trip with his witty humor. Although his British accent was a tad bit tricky to grasp at times, his explanations were top-notch. I wholeheartedly suggest giving it a go!
Cheers, Kyle!

I was a bit unsure about booking another activity during my vacation. But let me tell you, I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED that we decided to go on this tour. It all began with the delightful lady at check-in who greeted us, addressed our inquiries, and guided us to the bus. Our driver was Conner and our tour guide was Patrick. Conner was a fantastic host and guide. Patrick was an outstanding storyteller, providing us with plenty of fascinating details while allowing us time to soak in the stunning views. There were delightful surprises that enhanced the experience even more. The scenery is truly breathtaking, and the history is captivating. The 30s theme added a fun touch! I also admired their respect for the indigenous people and acknowledgment of the land we were exploring. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour.

I must say, I had a splendid time on this tour last Thursday! The guides were absolutely captivating, the bus exuded a brand-new charm with nostalgic vibes, the 1930s music playing in the background enhanced the vintage atmosphere, and to top it off, we unexpectedly encountered a group of majestic elk! A heartfelt thank you for the wonderful experience.

We absolutely loved the sightseeing tour with JJ in Banff. His knowledge about the area is incredible, and he even pointed out some special sights like the friendly raven. JJ shared fascinating stories about the local bear celebrity known as "Boss" and so much more. We learned about the Royal wave and had a blast when he honked the horn. Such a memorable experience!
Emma Reyes (2025-08-01, 11:34 a.m.):
We 'ad the most splendid time on the tour today with Daniel! He was a right knowledgeable bloke, quite the joker, and 'e kept everyone involved throughout. The vehicle was dead cozy, and the open roof was ace for takin' snaps. We learned loads about Banff's history, caught sight of some jaw-droppin' views, and even spotted two bears on our adventure. I'd highly recommend this Banff tour, top-notch experience!

What a fantastic deal and adventure on the Open Roof Car tour! Our party of 9, including kids, adults, and seniors, had an absolute blast on this open-top limo ride. The panoramic views and the nostalgic feel of the vintage vehicle really transported us back to the glamour of the 1930s. Our tour guide Camille was a wealth of knowledge about Banff and its fascinating history - we were truly impressed!

What an incredible experience, I must say! Natalie and her partner were absolutely fantastic as our tour guides. We gained so much knowledge from them as they led us through the town and showcased some truly breathtaking sights. Their insights into the indigenous peoples of the region and their detailed descriptions of sacred locations were truly enlightening. The tour bus itself was luxurious and incredibly comfortable. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough!

What a cracking experience! Had a top-notch, cozy, and enlightening journey on the going to the sun road. Steve, our driver and guide, was absolutely brilliant. He's a real pro, sharp as a tack, and always looking out for his passengers. Took it easy for photo ops, drove carefully, and was an all-around delight. Can't recommend this tour enough, especially with Steve at the wheel.

Open top touring was an absolute blast for exploring the Banff area. The open top bus they offer is a truly unique experience as you can either sit back comfortably with great views, or stand up and take in the sights around you. The location is super convenient, right near the train station with free parking, and there's also free parking available on the street next door. Our tour guide, Madi, was an absolute delight - so lively and welcoming. She made sure we had a brilliant time exploring the town. The entire family joined in on the adventure, and we were all mesmerized by the breathtaking views from the mountain park. As an added bonus, we even got to spot some local wildlife, including elk and deer. A truly unforgettable experience!
Nathan Kim (2025-07-16, 6:46 a.m.):
I must say, I had a jolly good time on the tour with Kyle! His British accent was quite posh and took me a moment to get used to, being unfamiliar with it and all. But despite that, his expertise and cheeky sense of humor really won me over. I had an absolute blast on the tour!
Amy Reyes (2025-07-16, 5:42 a.m.):
I must say, it was a jolly good tour, mate! Got to see heaps of lovely places around Banff. Simon is a proper expert on the history of the area. Would definitely recommend giving it a go! Cheers!
Denise Stewart (2025-07-15, 8:39 a.m.):
I 'ad a splendid day with Connor explorin' Lake Minniwanka and Banff. It was a jolly good time, with top-notch music and extensive knowledge about the region. Cheers!
Juan Allen (2025-07-14, 8:51 a.m.):
Our tour guide was fantastic, I must say. We opted for the classic sightseeing tour, if memory serves me right. The amount of historical information shared about the town was quite overwhelming for my taste. I found certain details somewhat extraneous and found myself losing interest. Perhaps a shorter history session would be more engaging, with a greater focus on the picturesque route instead.
The 1930s theme was a delightful touch to our experience. We even caught glimpses of some wildlife during the journey. Riding in that vintage vehicle was truly a remarkable experience, adding an extra layer of charm to our adventure.
