Our tour guide is a very passionate nice guy. However, this company is not a responsible one. They said they’d let us know about the ticket info to Columbia Icefield adventure TWO days before the trip, and they didn’t really until I asked one day before. I sent the group rate payment of $142 CAD per person immediately after I saw their payment request, but found out they FAILED to purchase the tickets after we arrived at Columbia Icefield. They promised to refund what I’ve paid and let me pay at the counter MYSELF at a rate of $168 CAD per person. It turned out the only refunded the fare difference of $26 CAD per person, NEVER refunded the initial payment of $142 CAD, and ignored all my messages during this past week. This sounds like a scam, right? So I had to file a dispute through my bank 🙄 They could’ve made both our life easier if they 1) send the tickets info earlier, 2) check who purchased the tickets as soon as we boarded, or 3) pay using their business card while we were at the counter. But they did none of these. Clearly not a well-organized touring company. Well, this was my second time touring with Banff Journey, which is probably the last. Thank you for taking us to the meeting point anyways.
If you include the snowcoach and skywalk at the icefields expect to be rushed through the entire tour. No time for lunch you must bring your own. Other than that it was a great experience.
Very good customer experience. Places we visit were magical. Amazing scenery. The driver was prompt, friendly, and absolute helpful.
Exciting trip offered thru Banff Journey. The tour driver was friendly and showed us best views. If you’re are planning to visit Glacier and Glass bridge/deck, i suggest pack some snacks ahead of time. Because you will not get enough time to grab food at the visitor center.
It was very bad organisation, very rude people who think only about money, and how to get more from tourists, when we had big problems they just took our money and told “thanks for understanding “
Tony was a friendly and kind tour guide. He gave us plenty of time to explore each stop and made sure we all got photos. Was a great day
Incredible experience to walk on the glacier and experience the skywalk. Definitely recommended. Great scenic drive from Canmore
The driver was entertaining and the trip ran smoothly. He brought good snacks and there were proper bathroom breaks.
We had an amazing experience, exploring the Columbia Icefields with our tour guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. He shared fascinating information about the history, wildlife scenery, and made sure everyone felt comfortable, included throughout the tour. The breathtaking views and memorable stops made this one of the highlights of our trip. We would absolutely recommend this tour and especially our guide, William, to anyone visiting the Rockies thank you for helping make our trip special.
William was our tour guide Full of personality and helpful information the whole trip Also helped with photos Ice field was a neat experience - the skywalk is one of those - nice to do, don’t have to do it twice things.
