Lake Louise really is a breathtaking sight, isn’t it? The color of the water is unreal—like something out of a dream. Have you had the chance to visit it, or is it still on your travel bucket list? I bet the Fairmont Chateau would make for an epic stay with that view right out the window!
The Banff Gondola offers a scenic 8-minute ride up Sulphur Mountain, providing panoramic views of Banff and the surrounding Rockies. At the summit, visitors can enjoy the Sky Bistro for dining, explore the Sulphur Mountain Boardwalk, and learn about the area's history at the Interpretive Centre. The gondola is wheelchair accessible, and strollers are permitted. Read more about - Banff Gondola
Banff Upper Hot Springs is a popular natural hot spring located near Banff town, offering warm, mineral-rich waters with stunning mountain views. It’s perfect for relaxing after outdoor activities. The facility includes change rooms, showers, and rentals for swimsuits and towels.
Bow Falls is a beautiful, wide waterfall located just 1 km from downtown Banff on the Bow River. It’s easy to reach by foot, car, or public transit. Visitors enjoy scenic views, photography, and walking trails nearby. The falls are especially impressive during spring runoff and offer peaceful surroundings year-round.
We had a lovely lunch break on Banff Avenue, with plenty of time to enjoy shopping and pick up some souvenirs. It was a wonderful way to experience the charm of the town.
Surprise Corner is a scenic lookout located at the junction of Buffalo Street and Tunnel Mountain Road in Banff. It’s renowned for its postcard-perfect view of the "Castle of the Rockies" (the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel) with the Bow River and Sulphur Mountain in the backdrop
Lake Minnewanka is a beautiful glacial lake located just 10 km from Banff in Banff National Park. It offers activities like boating (motorized boats allowed), hiking scenic trails, picnicking, and in winter, ice skating and snowshoeing. The lake has a rich history, including a submerged old settlement and hydroelectric developments. Visitors enjoy stunning mountain views, easy access to trails, and picnic spots. Parking can fill up quickly in summer, so plan accordingly.
Two Jack Lake, just 10 km from Banff, is a peaceful mountain lake known for beautiful views of Mount Rundle. It’s great for easy hikes, kayaking, swimming, and picnics.

Pickup was a nightmare. It would help if the tour name was displayed in the front window of the relevant bus. There were a lot of people and a lot of buses and no one knew which bus was which tour. Our tour was supposed to be gondola and hot springs but it wasn’t made clear that we had to book those things separately. We might as well have taken a bus from Banff in the first place. This ‘tour’ was just a bus ride. Guide was very helpful though.
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry for the confusion. We do clearly mention in the tour details that the gondola and hot springs tickets are separate, as the tour itself is $100, and the gondola is an additional $90. Unfortunately, there’s no way for us to bundle those into the same price. I also apologize for the pickup confusion; I’ll pass along your suggestion about displaying the tour name on the bus window so it’s clearer next time. We really appreciate your patience and your kind words about the guide.
It's a nice experience to go to this place, especially we have a nice and kind person like REM.thank you brother see you next time.

Good experience overall. The hot springs portion could have been shorter while lunch could have been longer. Too many people getting food in Banff town, lines are long or restaurants didn't have tables available. Ram the guide is very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.

We had an amazing experience exploring the Canadian Rockies! The gondola ride offered breathtaking panoramic views of the mountains and was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Relaxing in the hot springs afterward was the perfect way to end the day. We also visited three stunning lakes, each with its own unique beauty. The turquoise waters and incredible scenery were beyond anything we had imagined. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great experience throughout the tour. Everything was well organized, from pickup to drop-off, and we had enough time to enjoy each location. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Banff and looking to experience the best of the Rockies in a short amount of time.
