Highlights

  • Lake Louise - Your first stop will be at Lake Louise. Because that is the last point in Banff National Park and from there we come back to see other beautiful viewpoints

  • Moraine Lake - Moraine Lake, nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies near Banff, Alberta, is a breathtaking alpine gem renowned for its vivid turquoise waters and stunning mountain backdrop. Fed by glacier meltwater, the lake’s color varies throughout the day, ranging from a brilliant azure to an ethereal turquoise. Surrounding the lake are towering peaks, including the iconic Valley of the Ten Peaks, which provide a dramatic and awe-inspiring setting for outdoor enthusiasts and photographers alike. Visitors can explore the shoreline on leisurely walks or hike along nearby trails, immersing themselves in the pristine wilderness of Banff National Park. Whether marveling at the reflections in the crystal-clear water, canoeing on its serene surface, or simply taking in the majestic beauty of the landscape, Moraine Lake offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.

  • Mount Norquay Lookout - You will experience the Banff viewpoint, where you’ll discover one of the most awe-inspiring panoramas the Canadian Rockies have to offer. This viewpoint is perched at a vantage point that offers an unobstructed, jaw-dropping vista of the surrounding natural beauty.

  • Bow Valley Parkway - On the way to Lake Louise , we will stop to see the beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the Bow River.

  • Banff Avenue - You will see the Town of Banff and see the downtown and get your food and make the necessary purchases.

  • Hoodoos Trail - The Hoodoo Trail in Banff National Park offers a mesmerizing journey through a unique geological landscape characterized by towering hoodoos, fascinating rock formations sculpted by centuries of erosion. As you pass the trail, you’ll be captivated by the otherworldly shapes of these limestone pillars, which stand as ancient sentinels against the backdrop of the Canadian Rockies. And you will get a lot of nice pictures.

  • Bow Falls - Prepare to be captivated by the natural wonder of Bow Falls. Our tour offers you the chance to witness the awe-inspiring power and beauty of this cascading masterpiece in Banff National Park.

The perfect tour - It was the perfect tour. I highly recommend it. I had chosen that tour because it stopped at fewer places, given us more time at each stop. At Johnston Falls, we divided the group in two, so that the fast walkers could see the higher falls. Just like I had hoped to do. Was travelling alone. So it was nice to have someone else do the driving, explaining and pointing out what to see and being accompanied on our short hike. Had a wonderful day!

Amazing day in Banff - I was short on time and only had a day to see as much as I could on the end of a work trip and boy this did not disappoint! I had a fantastic time and saw everything I wanted to; the guide was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating and made the visit extra special. I would absolutely book another trip with them when visiting Banff or making my way to Jasper in the future, 10/10

Excellent tour and tour guide - I'm so glad I booked this tour. Habib was a great tour guide that tailored the day to me and the other person on the tour. The tour had about 6 different stops including Johnston Canyon (we hiked to the upper falls), Lake Louise (Lake Moraine was closed), Banff town for lunch, Bow River falls, Tunnel Mountain Hoo Doo look out point, and one other look out I can't remember the name. Every view was stunning and the information Habib provided (either himself or via a very handy tour app he played in the car that gave info based on GPS) enhanced enjoyment of the views. We were lucky enough to see a black bear, elk, deer, mountain goats, and Canadian geese. There wasn't much time to shop in Banff since we sat down for lunch at the Grizzly House, so if you are wanting to shop longer, ask Habib and he can plan accordingly if possible. But this tour give's you a big bang for your buck, an overview of the highlights of Banff National Park, so next time you come you'll know where you want to spend more time or further explore. Since there were just two of us (due to a cancellation of another family), Habib came in his personal car which was very clean and comfortable and on time. Habib is a very nice, friendly, calm person who reminds you why to travel - see great sights and meet people from all over the world. He's also a great photographer as a bonus. Thanks Habib for a wonderful day!

Memorable trip with amazing guides - I was skeptical of having to travel alone, but the guides made it very interactive and fun! Garth and Denis were very welcoming people who gave very insightful information about the area and were in general just fun to talk to! Definitely recommend them for any of your future plans.

Habib was our guide for... - Habib was our guide for this trip. He is an extremely good person who ensured we are taken care of at each step. He is very timely and gave a good description of the areas we have visited. He also took us around Norway Point and Secret Point. Each part of this trip was amazing starting with Lake Louise, Norway Point, Lake Minnewanka, Banff Village View, Banff Avenue and also Waterfalls. He also took pictures with breathtaking views in the background.

Beautiful Banff - Loved the comfort and well guided trip. I am glad we booked this trip and managed to see these beautiful landscapes hassle free. One recommendation is that since Moraine lake was still not open, it should be mentioned upfront in to tour information. We did not realize it until we met our tour guide. Having said that, overall we had an amazing experience.

Amazing day with unforgettable experiences - We had an amazing tour through Banff today with 1000HOST and would definitely recommend. Love the small group setting, the fun conversations and ofcourse, the gorgeous scenery. They take you to beautiful viewpoints and great little hikes to make the most of Banff in a single day. Thank you for today and we'll definitely book again if we come back for the 2 or 3 day through Jasper!

Knowledgeable guide, incredible experience - Our host, Habib, truly made this trip incredibly special. He had a deep love for this part of the world and it showed in how he described the features of the area and his explanations down to the First Nation names for places. We were able to stop at hot springs instead of more hiking, which was a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

Horrible - Not enough time in Banff village. Missed all the deer on the sides of the road, he drove right passed them and didn't stop he said he's watch8ng the road not the deer He took us to see the ski hill when neither of us tour people ski or cared to see it. He was upset and felt I was in a rush to leave when in fact I was going by the amount of time the tour was supposed to take, I had other obligations for the day. He kept my shoe spikes they were no longer in the backseat where I left them and most concerning was he was on the phone driving from Banff to Calgary city. He asked me if I was ok with it...it's illegal you don't need to ask me. Wish I didn't spend my money on this tour.
