Awesome tour to some of the most beautiful areas in Alberta. Was advertised as a 9 hour tour but was closer to 12 hours but worth it for the sites visited and cost.

This was a great experience. 10/10 recommend our driver Asheesh. He was very helpful, considerate, and funny. He was sure to take pictures of our group, give helpful and interesting information about the places we visited, and even took the time to stop the van so that our tour group could see a bear that was on the side of the road. Asheesh is by far the best tour driver that I have ever experienced!

Great day visiting 3 lakes, natural bridge and Johnson Canyon. Picked up in Banff at 9:50 and dropped back to hotel at 7:30pm. Really helpful friendly driver Naveen gave lots of info on the drive.
We had a great time and Navdeep was our host who was very knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and very welcoming to us. We were total of 11 including 4 little kids. The ride was safe and fun the whole time. We highly recommend Matrix travel and tour and Navdeep as the best host.

Another family member booked the tour through TripAdvisor, but I thought I needed to write a review as well. TripAdvisor has the tour as 9 hours and the company’s website has it as 10 hours. That is correct as long as you are getting picked up and dropped off in Banff. If you are being picked up in Calgary, you need to add another 3 hours of time. The total time was 13 hours from pick up to drop off. The pick up site was a a little chaotic with various drivers from different companies standing by their vans. We had to approach various drivers to find the right tour. No one was making any effort to greet and find their passengers. We found the correct driver and got on board. There was one seat without a functioning seat belt which wasn’t an issue until we picked up another passenger in Banff and she had to sit in that seat. The driver never introduced himself, inquired about any of our names, and/ or gave an overview of tour/stops. It was a pretty much a silent ride until the first restroom stop. There was very little information given throughout the tour itself. It was the quietest tour I have ever been on. At one of the stops, the driver told us that we would have 40 minutes at the location, but a few minutes later told us to back in a hour. Apparently after the majority of the passengers had gotten out, he told the remaining few to be back in 40 minutes. About 5 members of the group returned in 50-60 minutes. They were scolded by the driver about being late. They did explain that they did hear him say to return in an hour. At the next stop, he did clarify the time we should be back, but then said he had the right to leave without us if we were late. I understand the importance of keeping the tour on time, but that seemed a bit excessive. The lunch stop at Lake Louise village is a bit of a joke. No information was given by the driver on anything in the village. There are not very many places to eat there and most of them had a line out the door with a 40-45 minutes wait to get your food. There is a small market there that does sell sandwiches and other small items. Forty five minutes in not enough time to get any food besides going to the market. Also, there is no other real opportunity for a meal after that point other than Johnson canyon if you forgo the hike. There are places to buy snack items at some of the stops. In the summer, the tour does not stop in Banff other than to pick up or drop off passengers. I did not see that information until I went on the company’s web page. The tour did allow for a brief overview of the sites, but I think it would be best to not try and do all them in one day. It felt pretty rushed. The hike in Johnson canyon to the upper falls is difficult to complete in the 90 minutes allowed unless you are a reasonably fast hiker. It is a 3 mile hike. The driver drove safely which was good. I enjoyed seeing the sites, but I can’t unfortunately say the same about the tour itself.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and appreciated our driver's safe driving. We serve guests from many countries, so we use WhatsApp to send pickup information and driver details, and we apologize if you didn't receive those. Our tours are shared with a fixed schedule so everyone can see the advertised sites in one day. Guides announce the return time at each stop and remind guests to be on time, which is never intended to make anyone uncomfortable, only to keep the tour on schedule. Regarding lunch, Lake Louise Village has limited restaurants, and wait times can be long. We recommend grabbing food quickly or choosing takeaway, so you can enjoy it later if you prefer. We truly value your feedback and will keep working to improve communication. Thank you for choosing Matrix Tours & Travel. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
I went on this tour with my son and we both loved this adventure. Our tour guide, Ashish, was very knowledgeable about the different places that we saw. We took a lot of photos and videos and explored various lakes. I wished that I had a walking stick with me on this trip but it’s definitely a tour to get if you are coming here to Banff.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son had such a memorable adventure with us. It's great to know that Aashish's knowledge and passion for the area made your visit even more enjoyable, and that you were able to capture so many beautiful photos and videos along the way. Thank you as well for your helpful suggestion about bringing a walking stick. It can definitely make some of the short walks more comfortable for certain guests. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you both back for another amazing adventure with Matrix Tours & Travel!
An excellent tpur for the day— our tour guide was very nice—and majestic views—only negative to this is a very short lunch break— it was a stressful 40 min break where you fall in line for food and wasted 30 min— just to order quick lunch—it was so crowded and the place was packed— suggesting longer perhaps 60 min,? Otherwise an excellent tour!! So only reason I'm giving a 4 star
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour, the majestic views, and that your guide helped make your day a great experience. We appreciate your honest comments about the lunch break at Lake Louise Village. During peak season, the village can become very busy, and we understand that waiting in line for food can take away from your time to relax and enjoy the stop. We will continue reviewing our timing and recommendations to help improve the overall experience for our guests. Thank you again for choosing Matrix Tours & Travel and for your valuable suggestion. We hope to welcome you back for another beautiful adventure in the Canadian Rockies!
