This trip was for our 25th wedding anniversary and we've never been to Canada before. What an awesome way to see and learn about a country!!! If you like awesome scenery, getting out and experiencing nature, and learning about history and c..ulture this company is for you!
Our tour guide Meghan was organized, professional, friendly, and fun! She is an excellent driver and makes the traveling very fun. We were given a Bingo sheet of things to be on the lookout for which made it very fun. We had a small, friendly group of 10 travelers which also made it very fun! Our bus was very comfortable and Meghan kept it very clean. We got out to do short hikes and see beautiful waterfalls, so we got to stretch our legs. You are given choices of activities to do which are "a la carte." We did the gondola ride in Banff, the boat ride to Spirit Island on Maligne Lake, kayaking on the Campbell River, and Buchart Gardens for our extras. Even riding the huge ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy was an amazing experience through the Interior Passages. We saw Bald Eagles in the trees along the way and everything was just so scenic!
We had heard about the passing of Queen Elizabeth at the beginning of our trip and when we were toward the end of our trip in Victoria we came into town at the very moment they had the bells tolling 96 times for her 96 years. We were able to pull over and participate in the solemn moment of silence with those gathered there at the Parliament building with the flags at half mast to honor the Queen. That was a moment in history that will never be repeated and that was very special. My husband and I toured the Royal B.C. Museum and loved it. The Natural History exhibit and the Climate Change exhibit were great. We loved the Train Time IMAX movie, as well. It was all about the train history in the US, and had wonderful music, scenery, and graphics. It made me appreciate trains in our world,
This was, by far, the best vacation I have ever experienced and am so thankful for the memories. At times the scenery is so breathtaking you can't take it all in. Canada is so beautiful and it is overwhelmingly beautiful. The people are so nice, and it is very clean. I am so thankful to Meghan and Discover Canada Tours for such an amazing, fun, and memorable journey! It was a trip of a lifetime!!! Look out for the Goats on a Roof!!!!Read full review
Tour is nice the driver/tour guide very nice.My only complained was the time allocated in banff gondola 1 hour is not enough we were not able to reach the top of sulfur mountain.But over all experience is amazing.Thank you
I could not go to Calgary due to the flu which I had no control over I called to explain and got a rude quick answer of no refund I felt awful and definitely would not recommend your agency to anyone if you cannot understand that people get.. sickRead full review
Tour was really good! we visited very nice spots. We would’ve wanted to spend more time in Banff town than just an hour for lunch though. Mike, the driver and Carmen, our guide were super friendly and kind, although it was sometimes hard.. to understand Carmen when she speaks in EnglishRead full review
Great trip and the Rockies/Banff are amazing. We were explicitly and unnecessarily told to print the eticket which wasn't possible while travelling and although I was told on query just to have it on my phone no one ever asked as they had a.. list of attendees! The gondola was 'optional' and I elected not to do it due to the weather - being told there was a hot spring next door so I could bring a swimsuit would have been useful!Read full review
The tour guide, bus driver were personable and courteous. The tour guide did an outstanding job providing information on the way to Banff, and while in the park. We were provided time lines for visiting various sites. All was excellent.

Very well organized trip!! There was a lot packed into one day which made the trip worthwhile for the cost. The weather was great and the sights were amazing!! The group was small which was also a plus.
We just finished a one-day trip to Banff Day Trip from Calgary. Well organized, enough time at every sight, such as Bow Falls and Johnston Canyon. And our tour guide alex is passionate and informative, and help us take pics. Will definitely.. do another trip!Read full review
The tour was interesting, busy and well managed. Our tour guide Yale introduced us a lot of culture of these attractions to us and leave enough time to do our own things. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in the tour.
My family and I love this tour very much. From start to finish, every attraction in this tour was memorable for us. And the tour is incredibly well organized.
It was my first Banff trip with my friend. In the short one day, I feel like we saw everything. From Johnston Canyon to Bow Falls, Surprise Corner and Hoodoos, the tour was visually stunning. My friends and I can’t wait to take another tr..ip in the future.Read full review
