I wanted to understand the nature of this tour. I'm travelling with my parents and none of us have a Canadian license and we need help getting around Banff. 1.is this tour a group tour or can we get a private tour for 3 or us? 2. Are hotels and flights also booked for us or do we book them separately? 3. The price mentioned in the page- is it per person?

Yes this is a group tour on a tour bus with a set itinerary. Flights are booked separately. Tour Radar may be able to help offer deals but we are a tour operator only. The tour has hostel included in shared dormitory style rooms. We do offer non accommodated versions of the tour as well which allow for guests to book their own accommodation on the route. The price is per person yes.

How should I reach the pickup point from Edmonton?

You'd likely have to take a bus or train to Calgary then another bus from Calgary to Banff.

which date is available in november

unfortunately we are not running any tours in November as the season will have ended. Our last tour will depart on Wednesday, October 2nd

Could you please provide us with the name of the hotel that will be used during the trip?

Could you provide us with the exact meeting point (the exact address) and meeting time on the first day of the trip?

This is the third time I've been asked to write a review, but it is a pleasure to re-write it once again, because our tour guide, Kiera, was wonderful. Her driving skills in the Rocky Mountains - a skill involving all manner of care and practice - are excellent. Her care for the specific wishes of those in her care was superb. Katrina spared no effort to make our trip a special memory, including taking excellent photos, showing us spots we'd never have seen otherwise, sharing all manner of history and data about the environment, and enquiring often about our lives and interests. Thank you, Kiera, for an excellent tour! Eleanor Cowan, Calgary, AlbertaShow more

I booked this tour last minute, as I had some time to spare after a work trip in Edmonton. The tour was everything I would imagine and more. Gabriel genuinely was the key to making this tour amazing, he is energetic, cares about all the travellers, and passionate about what he does. He definitely went out of his way to ensure everyone was happy and felt safe during the tour itself. It was great to be able to go to all the beautiful locations in Alberta any traveller would want to see, but not have to be surrounded by big tour buses. The bus is comfortable, the hostels were great, the company even better. Definitely, recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get the most out of a short time in Banff. I wish I had more information earlier, in which I would know there was an option for a hop-on/hop-off, to extend the stay and go towards BC. Regardless, hands down one of the best decisions to book!Show more
