Great tour - We took the tour with JJ and we had a splendid time. It was very infomative and he was entertaining. Love the new bus, (old look from the 1930) and old style music. We would definately recommend doing this tour with him. It is about 90 mins.

Open top bus tour, Banff - Excellent open top bus tour. Tour guid 'Connor' was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable pointing out some interesting and funny facts. We were provided a nice cup of warm non alcoholic apple cider. The music on tour was great too.

Great tour, even best driver - I did the tour last Saturday, and even if the weather wasn't the best, the driver, JJ made an amazing job and we had a great experience that day. I highly recommend doing this if you are around Banff.

Definitely a must do - Had a great day seeing the frozen lakes and visiting the centre at the top of the gondola. The buffet food was excellent ( the brisket was the best I’ve had). Our guides for the day were JJ and Flora. They were the cherry on the top. Loads of interesting information and made the day even more enjoyable. This is definitely on our list next time we go Banff. 10 out of 10 isn’t enough 👏👏

Irish Connor=the GOAT - This was a great experience on our first day in Banff. Our tour guide, Irish Connor, was very knowledgeable and had the same level of charm and charisma as the slightly more famous Irish Connor. We saw so many highlights and were able to get out and walk around many of these areas. The bus was very nice- italian leather and 7.6 L V8 engine, perfect for getting up the mountain. Overall would highly recommend, and would suggest requesting a tour with Irish Connor.
