This was our second private day trip booked during our 7 day Calgary stay. I highly recommend ABest and our driver, Augusto. Despite our original vehicle having mechanical issues and requiring a switch-causing delay (which pushed everything later into the evening). Because of this, we decided to scrap getting out at Banff town, in favor of returning to Calgary. It takes an exceptional driver to smooth a rough start over & make it a great 5-star day.

I truly don’t know what to even say here. Augusto was our guide for my sister and myself. He is PHENOMENAL!!! We learned so much about the culture and climate of Canada in addition to our destinations he took us to. He took time and effort to get to know us and tell us all about each area we visited as well as everything along the way. We felt like we made a lifelong friend with Augusto. The sites we saw were epic and not having to be concerned about parking, traffic, missing a turn, or not knowing where to go without backtracking was so nice. We just rode along and took in the scenery. Moraine Lake is beautiful beyond words and we’re so glad Augusto recommended climbing the rockslide for the view. This tour is expensive and we have already said that when we return we will book it again and request Augusto if we can because we loved it that much.

We booked a private tour so we paid big bucks for a personalized experience. The company did not deliver. Though the guide was nice he was simply a driver. We felt the company failed in training him compared to other private tours we’ve taken (we do not blame him). He offered no background or history about what we saw. We even had to call the company at Johnston’s Canyon to find out what falls we had time to visit and how long we should spend because he was unsure. He just dropped us off and said he’d come back in 20 minutes to get us. Hard getting cell coverage in a forest! Turns out it took us an hour and a half to complete the hike. I booked this company because other reviews were glowing, but we definitely did not get our money’s worth on this one. Most of the drive was awkward silence. If you charge us top dollar for a private experience it should be stress free for us. Please don’t give us substitute drivers who are not familiar with the area. Your private tours should get the best guides in my opinion, not the alternate guides. Also, the front windshield in the van had a huge crack through it which made it hard to see out the front of the van.

We had such a wonderful day! Augusto was our driver/guide and he was amazing! He helped make this day so memorable for us and we are so grateful for that! Would highly recommend this private day tour! You see so much in one day and don’t have to stress about the parking in the high tourist areas. Thank you Augusto for such a beautiful experience for our family!

We took a private Banff, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine and Teekakaw Falls trip with Gabriel. It was a wonderful trip. Words cannot describe the beauty of this area. Gabriel was just a very caring and wonderful guide. He just knew where to take us and where to park! Without the assistance of this tour company and Gabriel, we could not have visited either Lake Louise or Lake Moraine since smaller cars are either not allowed or there will be no parking! We actually couldn’t visit emerald lake and natural bridge since parking was full. However, the other destinations made up for it! Being in a private tour gave us ample time to explore what we wanted! All in all this trip is worth the money!

On the plus side, we saw all the sights we expected to see and the tour was tailored for us. Manny knew all the great spots for photo ops. The vehicle was very comfortable. However, while Manny is a great driver he is not a tour guide. He occasionally played some pre-recorded descriptions of the area that were hard for all to hear. If and when he added his own knowledge (which was not often) only the 1 or 2 in the party standing right beside him could hear him. We have been on many tours and guides are usually a fountain of information and stories. Not so with Manny - very quiet and a man of few words. We did not feel we got our money's worth.

Definitely a five stars here! Arnel is a great, kind person, as I was the only one on the trip, he was my driver, guide and photographer! I really recommend!

Shuttle never showed up. Wasted a bunch of money on lyft to and from the crowfoot lrt station that I'll never see again. Currently contesting the ticket charge with my back as the company insists they showed up and even waited for me, so they won't refund me. This did not happen and I have the lyft receipts with time stamps to prove it. There are better options, STAY AWAY

Ali was our driver and he was knowledgeable and he made the trip so fun! He was very accommodating and he made sure we did everything we wanted to do! Beautiful day even with snow. Highly recommended!

We booked the private tour for our family of 7. We were able to create the itinerary ourselves. The bus was very comfortable and our driver Johnathon was so accommodating. We spotted bears crossing the road and moose 2 animals we were yet to spot all done on one of our last days. Totally recommend this company

Manny was an amazing tour guide and gave us some great tips and tricks on how to get some amazing photos and some local spots for food and drinks! Would definitely come again and ask for manny!

We really enjoyed this private tour on Sept 8, 2023. A bit about us: 2 couples about 60 years old on our first trip to Canadian Rockies. Booking was seamless through Trip Advisor, and we were happy to have the free cancellation up to 1 day in advance, since this tour is best with sunshine. Luckily we didn't need to cancel. I had a few questions ahead of time, for which I messaged the tour company (ABest Transport and Tour Services) directly. Responses were timely and clear. We wanted to ensure we could customize the proposed itinerary based on the weather, our needs, what we'd already seen, etc. The answer was Yes. Also, we clarified that we could stop for lunch at some point, which we didn't end up doing after all, but we took a small cooler of snacks, which was perfect to eat in the van between destinations. Jobo was a fantastic tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and informative about the area, and we had great conversation all day. He was flexible (thank you for taking us to clean rest areas for our bathroom breaks!) and customized the trip to our wishes. He used his knowledge to enhance our trip. For example, he walked us directly to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake viewpoints, anticipating what we would/would not want to do there. Prior to each stop, he explained the terrain, suggested walks/hikes, or simply told us that this location is just a 20 minute stop to view something. We liked the itinerary, and the order of the day (furthest destination first, working backward toward home base. The tour wasn't cheap, for sure, but well worth it. Parking at all of the popular sights is very difficult and crowded, even Sept 8; but having designated parking for private tours, which is closer than bus parking and car parking, saved us so much time and headache. Jobo even took photos of us at Moraine Lake and emailed them to us after the trip. Thank you Jobo for a very memorable day!!

Wonderful tour with top notch service. Arnel is awesome and showed us so many places and took tons of photographs for us as well. This is easily the best way to see multiple sites in one day, skipping the crowds and having a wonderful time!

We had the best experience with Jeff our tour guide. Jeff picked us up at 8AM and dropped us back at our timeshare at 7:30PM. We had been in Banff for two days and had seen some things already so he customized our tour to concentrate on the best things to see. Jeff took a lot of pictures of us at all our stops. My wife joked that we didn’t have that many pictures taken of us at our wedding! LOL Our kids gave us this tour as a Fathers and Mother’s Day present to have a special experience while on our bucket list trip to Banff, Jasper and the surrounding areas. This was a tour and a vacation I would highly recommend to anyone that wants to see God’s nature creation.

Our trip was amazing! We could never have seen all that we did without the meticulous planning of Aljay, our driver. He pointed out everything we needed to see and knew the history and reason for seeing it. He took fantastic pictures for us and helped us avoid long lines and parking issues. He also knew when we needed a rest and brought plenty of water for us. I highly recommend this company and Aljay to anyone looking for a private trip. The planning and experience they put in made our trip so special and we were able to do much more than we had anticipated because of that. We thank them.
