★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 203 reviews · 11 hours · from $70

Join a small group of up to 13 people for an 11-hour Banff National Park day trip from Calgary or Canmore. Guides such as Murray, Patrick, Dan, Gordon, and Sergiy combine mountain facts, jokes, photo help, and flexible seasonal stops, with time in Banff, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake when open.

“What a great trip! Every review we read was spot on about Murray! He was super entertaining and incredibly informed about the land, history, and science. We loved the geeky stuff, random facts and silly jokes. We learned so much and loved it all. The sights were incredible and we appreciated the timeliness of both the group and the guide. This would be a great trip for a solo traveler, couple or group of adults but felt a little pricey for a family with kiddos. Highly recommended for the scenic drive, the sights and the entertainment though!”
