Amazing tour- Michael F was super friendly and so knowledgable, he filled the journey to and from with loads of interesting facts and information, likewise throughout the tour of the canyon- not only was it full of amazing sights- we learned so much too! Thoroughly enjoyed this trip and would highly recommend to anyone! Thank you!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Janet, she was very knowledgeable and a very friendly guide. We visited Johnston Canyon first for a hike in kleats to the frozen waterfall. We only had time for the lower fall so didn't get to the upper falls. The hike itself was quite easy and didn't take very long, the scenery was breathtaking, the snow covered trees and icey river were so pretty. Next, we stopped at Lake Louise village for lunch (this was at our own expense so we ate at the bakery, it was delicious and perfect for an easy lunch). Next stop was Lake Louise, being Winter it was iced over and we had the choice of skating (extra expense) or walking to the other side of the lake. Walking was our choice, it was snowing but wasn't freezing and we chatted to Janet all the way, it was so nice being able to casually chat. We made snow angels, had a snow ball fight, and made a snowman...it was just a perfect afternoon for Aussies that don't ever see snow. Our last stop was a lookout to watch the sunset. A great day was had by everyone on the tour and Janet was the perfect guide. Highly recommend this company.

Nolan took us on the Johnston Canyon tour and it was incredible! He is extremely knowledgeable on the history of the area, local wildlife, he even had a ton of facts on the geology of the canyon. He was very attentive throughout the tour to ensure we were getting the most out of the experience. The pace was very easy. The views of the ice falls and frozen waterfalls was stunning and we were fortunate enough to see some ice climbers! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't mind a little hiking. PS we did the half day Johnston Canyon tour, but it was not an option for this review.

You really can't go to Banff without ticking Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon off your list. This tour is a great way to do both with a limited timeframe.This was our second tour with Radventures. We also did the Icefields Parkway with Abraham Lake. They were both quite different experiences. They are both great tours but this one is definitely the more "touristy" of the two that we did. Johnston Canyon was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed this part of the tour. The frozen waterfalls at the end were gorgeous and we loved watching the ice climbers at the end. Lake Louise was a bit of an odd experience. It's lovely but it was just a touch too touristy for us. We are glad we didn't skate as there were heaps of people and the ice quality wasn't great either. If the skating part appeals to you would highly recommend you also book the Icefields Parkway tour with this company with skates for Abraham Lakes (AMAZING experience). If the number of people milling around in front of the Fairmont is off putting to you I'd suggest you lace up your boots and hike to the end of the lake. This is what we ended up doing and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had Janet as our tour guide for this tour and she was fabulous. We all really enjoyed chatting to her throughout. Janet, I think you've inspired my daughter to move to Canada and take up ice climbing :)

Our Australian family of four spent a month in Canada and did all sorts of tours and experiences but skating on Abraham Lake was unanimously voted as one of the top three experiences for every single member of our family. It kind of sits in one of those "things to do before you die" lists (especially for those of us who live in places where this isn't something we could usually dream of doing). The methane lakes are absolutely stunning and we are so grateful that we booked this experience. Geo was our tour guide and he managed the tour well. Very helpful with making sure we had what we needed and ensuring that those of us who were unsteady on the ice were feeling confident. My husband actually said that skating on the lakes was one of the best things he's done in his life (this is high praise as we travel a LOT and he's had all manner of amazing experiences around the world). This is a wonderful tour to enjoy some of the unique experiences of the region. Make sure you dress warmly. Really warmly. This tour definitely required warmer clothing than the other tour we did with this company to Lake Louise and Johnston Canyon. It's a good idea to just purchase the lunch on this one too. The Johnston Canyon tour you could easily grab your own lunch if you didn't want to preorder but that is not the case with this one. It's more remote, there is a lot of driving and you won't be finding anywhere to grab a bite on the way. Both tours we did with Radventures were great. This is the one to choose if you want something a little bit different and off the beaten tourist path a smidge though.

Tyler was excellent with his driving and guiding skills. He was quiet at the start during the drive but soon as we arrived, we found common ground and the stories kept coming. He was great with the kids too and was patient with our slow walking LOL. He was also our barista making us mocha, hot chocolate or coffee. And he helped fit us all with the ice cleats and poles for some of us. Definitely recommend wearing them during winter as some parts of the walk could be wet. We ended up just doing the Lower Falls esp with the long line to the cave. But also bec our capabilities to hike up to the upper falls in a limited time was restrictive. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the whole tour. I know that we could have done this DIY but given our unfamiliarity with the winter conditions, we'd rather have a guide. We also did not have a rental car with a group of 13 people. Definitely did not regret going with Radventures. I actually found them via Viator, but since the shared public tours do not allow kids and did not include our hotel as a stop, I emailed Radventures directly as per Viators note, to check if our group could possibly all join since I know that young kids are allowed in the canyon itself. Radventures gave me an option to go on a private tour, and their van fit us perfectly. The best thing is that it's not a lot more expensive than going on the shared public tour like most providers would do with private tour options. We just managed to fill their van easily in one go. It made our whole experience memorable given that we all could join as a group. Customer service was also great, we communicated via email and everything went smoothly and clearly. They are a pretty new operator, but feels like they've been doing this for years. I would highly recommend them.

Did the Johnston Canyon Hike with Radventures and had a blast! Granted, we didn't have time to go up the Upper Falls because the group had both seniors and kids who weren't used to many hikes, but the trail to the Lower Falls were easy and beautiful. Kudos to Radventures for guiding us safely through it and also had piping hot drinks for us after the trip :) Our guide, Tyler, was the best! He catered to everyone in the group and provided tidbits of information about the area along the way! Will definitely look at Radventures again for other activities should I be back in the area!

Winter Wonderland tour was incredible! Leah was an incredible guide. Highly recommend to families, couples, individuals, or groups

**Winter Wonderland Tour to Johnston Canyon and Ice Skating at Lake Louise** If you're looking for a magical winter adventure, I highly recommend the Winter Wonderland tour to Johnston Canyon and skating on Lake Louise! This experience was beyond expectations, with stunning views, unforgettable moments, and excellent service. Our tour guide, Janet, was the highlight of the trip. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area, but also a true expert on local wildlife and nature. Her fascinating bear stories and impressive animal sound imitations kept us entertained and engaged throughout the journey. Janet’s passion for the environment truly brought the tour to life. From the moment we started the tour, Janet made sure we were well taken care of. She helped with our crampons, ensuring we felt safe and comfortable while walking along the snowy paths of Johnston Canyon. She was also very thoughtful when it came to taking photos, capturing some beautiful moments we will cherish forever. Plus, she made sure we had a delicious lunch and kept the day running smoothly without a hitch. The experience itself was breathtaking. The frozen waterfalls at Johnston Canyon were stunning, and the hike felt like stepping into a true winter wonderland. Afterward, we skated on the pristine ice at Lake Louise, right in front of the iconic Fairmont Hotel. The scenery was surreal, with snow-capped mountains surrounding the lake and the historic hotel providing a gorgeous backdrop. Overall, this tour was a perfect combination of adventure, nature, and relaxation, and Janet made it all the more memorable. Her attention to detail and genuine care for the group made the experience one we will never forget. Don't miss out on this amazing winter experience!

Leah our guide was fantastic so knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to great photo stops as an extra. Views and sites amazing.

Amazing scenery and fantastic tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We had an amazing day and saw some beautiful scenery.

We had a great day with Rae on the private SUV tour. Rae was very knowledgeable and helpful. I enjoyed the hiking in the canyon even though I had reservations when I was booking about hiking in winter. We had a clear day so it was great conditions for hiking. Enjoyed seeing the iconic Lake Louise and the sinking castle.

We had a wonderful time. Our guide Simon was informative, friendly and especially helpful. Abraham lake, with the ice bubbles, is very special and a must to see. If you are up for it, the ice skating takes everything to the next level. A long day, but an experience not to be missed.

Trip was great, some good hiking options with beautiful views and scenery and Janet, our guide was super lovely and helpful theoughout the day.

We used RADVENTURES for a tour of Johnston canyon and Lake Louise and it was fantastic! Our guide was Michael Frymus and he was very knowledgeable about the area. He made several pit stops there and back to take our family to great lookout points. He was is also a photographer which was an added bonus! Overall, we were very pleased with our experience with this company and Michael.
