We hired 2 inflatable stand up paddle boards from Radventures on a busy hot summer day in Banff. It was easy to inflate and was really fun to paddle around on Johnson Lake. The price was the best we could find and booking was easy with great follow-up and instructions. Stoked!

We rented a "campervan" from Radventures and it was amazing! We were camping with friends who had a whole set up for one week in Banff and Jasper and then traveling around to Whistler, Victoria and Vancouver. The converted minivan camper was perfect. not only did we have a place to sleep - but we used the dishes and chairs often on our daily travels to have a picnic lunch where ever we were. The gas was more reasonable than a camper and the van was easy to drive around in the city and on the ferry. Super, super happy with the whole set up. And the bed (as promised by Harry) was super comfortable. We didn't believe him at first - but one night confirmed it (and we have old bodies!!).

Wow! I did the Best of Banff tour yesterday with 3 other friends and I truly could not recommend it enough!!! Tia was our guide and she was SO knowledgeable about the area. She took us to all of the hidden local spots with no crowds that we never would have found on our own! She was absolutely amazing and if you are going on a trip I highly recommend requesting Tia! I also love how the tour group was small, maxing out at 8 people. It made the day more personal as Tia gave us the option to choose where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see and explore! At each site we had plenty of time to explore and hike. Tia always gave us the intensity level of the hikes and helped each person on our bus find an activity at every place that was best suited for them. She was amazing, this tour was amazing, I HIGHLY recommend using this company if you’d like a tour around the Banff area!

This is a follow up of my previous posts and is a response to the replies from the lead guide.
They have written I refused an upgrade. The fact is that they never offered me an upgrade (I have the rebooking email which shows I have been booked for the same tour the next day), and in any case I would not have been able to accept it as I was leaving Banff the next day. They have accused me of hurling insults on the phone, where the truth is that I did not speak to them over phone about this tour and such a thing never happened. Are they confusing me with another guest? They justify that they cancelled as tour guide was unwell. What sort of company, that has no backup resources. Refund was not delayed by my bank as they have claimed. It was only done after 2 weeks after I wrote to them, and I have the transaction details to prove that it was done only on 18/7/22 @ 4.46pm.
Regarding my review of another tour, they claim tour was only few minutes late, but I can vouch that the tour started and ended 40 minutes late. They suggest that I should have told the guide. Please verify with your guide, I had indeed mentioned this to him. But what can he do, he has to complete the tour for the sake of others. Also, it was his first tour with the company.
Radventures has sunk even lower in my assessment (unfortunately cannot give a 0 star rating). Radventures, if someone points out your deficiencies, gracefully accept it and try to correct, instead of hurling out false allegations

We loved our sunrise shuttle experience with Tess! We were picked up at the banff train station where there is plenty of free parking and Tess was right on time! We quickly departed and were able to have plenty of time to see the sunrise at lake moraine and then enjoyed canoeing at lake Louise after with time to spare to hop back on the bus to return to the banff train station. Tess gave great recommendations and also pointed out things on the drive back to Banff!

We paddled for 4 hours on Two Jack Lake and the Johnson Lake with our guide Meghan. Meghan was super awesome and everything you’d want in a guide. She was personable, funny and made sure our paddle time was the absolute best. 10/10 I highly recommend.

Jacob was our driver and he took us (4 adult and 2, 10 year old twins) from Banff to Lake Louise and then up to Lake Moraine. He shared so many interesting facts and stories about the area and gave us plenty of time to explore on our own if we wanted. On the way back, as expected, he took us a different route to see if we could see any wildlife. We did stop a couple times and got a good view of a bear. Over all, he did an excellent job and the kids loved it as well!!

We had the BEST tour with Radventures to Moraine Lake & Lake Louise. Our tour guide, Taylor, was incredibly friendly & very knowledgeable! The hot drinks at the top of Lake Moraine was the cherry on the cake - it was a great tour & we could not recommend it enough. Thanks Taylor!

Booked this 4 hour tour online but was easily able to get ahold of Sue one of the owners who answered all our questions. We can no longer do these longer fairly strenuous hikes so this was perfect. Our guide Lauren exudes confidence, chatted us up the whole time and took very good care of us. The views are amazing. One of the photos is a view of Lake Louise from higher up. The horses are amazingly sure-footed and really take care of their riders. They are also extremely well-cared for which was important to me. I road Tattoo and my husband road Marquee. They were just great. There were five of us and the most they take is 6. The views are breathtaking. It was a gorgeous sunny day. Both my husband and I highly recommend this tour. Thank you Lauren, Sue, Tattoo and Marquee and all the staff that made this possible

We did the Icefields Parkway adventure with Taylor. He made the bus trip very entertaining, providing lots of info about the area, the bears, and Canada in general.
The places we visited were amazing! It was sad to see how much has the glaciar receded but we felt very lucky to still get to see it.
My favorite spot though was Peyto lake. Hard to believe how beautiful that place is!

Hi! I'm considering a tour of Abraham Lake in January. If I bring my skates, can I skate?
