What travellers are saying
- Traveler8216537 contributionsAmazing views! Buying the tickets on tripadvisor was worth it! There was no wait time. The only thing is the nightrise experience was missed. However the hike and food was perfect!Written March 15, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Hannah H1 contributionAn amazing tour with incredible views! Our guide Teddy was great, fully knowledgeable of banff and the surrounding areas & gave us great recommendations.

- Ankit12 contributionsIncredible, once in a lifetime experience. My wife and I did this experience together and it was the best part of our trip to Banff. Highly recommend!Written November 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Patricia T1 contributionMike, our tour guide, was informative, thoughtful and provided great details about the area, the culture, nature and
the formation of all the natural wonders we saw. He spoke clearly and with a depth of knowledge we so appreciated.
We did a tricky climb using clamp-ons at Marble Canyon. Mike made sure we were safe and not hurried. The views were worth the climb.Written February 19, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Prior to the trip we were informed on what to wear what to bring where to meet and what time. An itinerary was also given to us to know what to expect. Murray was very informative and entertaining, and it was nice to sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit the Banff National Park.Written February 27, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JerompaPerth, Australia1 contributionOur group had such a fantastic experience on this tour. Roger was our guide and he was so friendly, accomodating and knowledgable. We couldn’t recommend this tour more, and we met some great people in it as well! If you’re looking for a fun light-hearted tour with your friends or as a couple I’d recommend this one.Written March 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charles B2 contributionsRobbie (I believe was his name) was an incredible host; very polite and informative with good humour. His dog is also very cute and a nice companion for the trip. The tour bus collects you at your accommodation and is well-warmed throughout the journey, and each stop is planned well with a good amount of information. It’s very clear how good it is to be shown around someone who clearly enjoys the area and has good knowledge of it. There are plenty of opportunities for you to take photos of the area, with great time to soak in the scenery before moving onto the next spot.
The tour group I was with was only 4 people including myself, and it was still great. I was happy that the tour continued despite being a smaller group, and all people present were also nice and welcoming.
Presuming that all tour guides are like Robbie, this is definetly a tour worth booking and it’s completely understandable why it’s so positively reviewed. I did this tour during winter, and seeing the lakes frozen over and the snow on the mountains was incredible.Written February 26, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marcos N1 contributionMost likely one of the most beautiful places I had the opportunity to visit in my life. There is no downside and every day a new adventure with amazing views surprised me. If I had to choose a top place it would be Lake Moraine/Lake Louise. Importantly I would recommend to arrange transportation since parking in summer time is almost impossible there.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SophiaSaint Paul, MN21 contributions4 stars only for our female Tour guide this morning! She had long brown hair with a braid with a septum nose piercing. I didn’t catch her name. She was the ONLY friendly person that we came upon. She did a great job of explaining things as we went along the trail and pointed out certain fun facts along the way. She made many of us feel at ease and did well at her job as a tour guide because she was THE ONLY ONE THAT MADE EYE CONTACT AND SMILED AND SAID “HI”!. ( Hello owners- that gesture goes a long way and perhaps you can train your cow girls and cowboy to do that more often)
However aside from her - BEWARE!- the feeling is that the young bucks who work here are annoyed with their jobs. The young girls who does the explanation in the coral at the beginning are very unfriendly. I was skeptical after reading the bad reviews but they are actually accurate- and many of them point out the same girl who has mid length blonde hair. She had a light green cactus shirt on this morning for our session. She made some of our group members feel stupid, and was very unfriendly. I get that you repeat your same speech daily but get over your “young experienced horse rider self”. Your job might be better suited as the Bona fide “horse apple” cadet - away from the visitors. Learn to be nice- it goes a long way!Written August 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - KF K24 contributionsThe welfare of the horses is clearly very high on the company and staff’s agenda. A sensible (if still a little high!) weight limit reduces unbalanced riders causing issues for the horse. All the horse’s are a great weight (maybe a bit round!) and feet clearly well looked after.
It was wonderful slowly wandering around the park just outside Banff and seeing some beautiful scenery. Perfect for my very out of practice husband to get back on a horse.
My only reservation was around the group size. Realistically only the first three riders could hear the front rider properly and similar for the back. This means that for a “guided tour” I think a maximum of 6 guests - perhaps up to 8 is sensible. There’s no way 2 guides can communicate properly with 12+ guests. Whether this is issues communicating around how to ride the horses or talking about the environment we were in. A large amount of the 2h was spent waiting for the riders in front and behind to pull their horses up from snatching food - slightly frustrating! Neither myself nor my husband had any communication with either of the guides other than checking girths before the steep section.
I appreciate that a huge number of tourists/guests come through Banff and larger groups are a cost effective way of managing the numbers required. But a slightly reduced group size would improve visitor experience I think.
The horse I had “Brewster” was sound, beautifully behaved, respected when I said no to snacks and seemed to genuinely enjoy the job he was doing. Sure footed on the hills and rocky terrain.

- Anita WTaipei, Taiwan29 contributionsOur family recently had the most incredible 2-day private tour in Banff National Park and Yoho National Park, and we owe it all to our amazing guide, Naveen. If you are looking for a private tour that is both informative and genuinely fun, look no further!
From the very beginning, Naveen made us feel completely at ease. We were traveling with my mother and my 9-year-old niece, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best experience possible. His humor and attentiveness were unmatched, and he had endless creative ideas for videos and snow-play activities that made my niece’s first snow experience truly magical. She couldn’t stop talking about it afterward!
Beyond his kindness, what really set Naveen apart was his extensive knowledge. He provided fascinating insights into the history, wildlife, and ecosystems of the area. From the stunning frozen waters of Lake Minnewanka to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Louise and Emerald Lake, every stop became so much more meaningful thanks to his engaging storytelling. His knowledge of wildlife and plants was particularly impressive—we were completely captivated by his explanations, and we left the tour with a much deeper appreciation for the natural wonders around us.
Since we had mentioned our interest in spotting wildlife, Naveen did everything he could to make that happen. His keen eye and expertise in the area gave us the best possible chances, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more exciting. My mother was also deeply intrigued by life in Canada, and Naveen shared wonderful personal stories and insights about the country’s economy and daily life, making the tour feel even more personal and memorable.
And let’s talk about his photography skills—absolutely incredible! At times, we felt like we had hired a professional photographer alongside our guide. The photos he took were simply stunning, capturing both the grandeur of the landscapes and the warmth of our family moments.
The second day of our tour brought heavy snowfall, but thanks to Naveen’s expert navigation and adaptability, we still had an amazing time. He carefully adjusted the itinerary and used his deep knowledge of the parks to make sure we still got the most out of our experience. Since we weren’t very experienced with walking in snow and ice, he also provided thoughtful guidance and constant reassurance, making us feel safe every step of the way.
A huge shoutout to Reena as well, who corresponded with us frequently and promptly through emails to help plan this trip. Her excellent communication made the entire process seamless, and we truly appreciated her effort in ensuring everything was perfectly arranged.
By the end of our journey, we felt not just like we had an outstanding guide, but like we had made a friend. Thank you so much, Naveen, for making this trip so special! If you’re considering a private tour in Banff and Yoho National Park, don’t hesitate—book with Vista Chase and Naveen. You won’t regret it!Written February 21, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
