A great day out in winter. It was a great day out for us to see the Rockies and Lake Louise in the snow.We especially loved seeing Marble Canyon in its winter glory. Thanks to Joshua and his boss!!It was a memorable and happy experience, for us, visiting from England. Seeing the winter scenery after having been here several times in the summer.We had a super guide, Joshua, for the day, who was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We would definitely recommend this company and the tour.

Skip the rest and go with the best!! Our family tends to do organized tours when we travel because we appreciate the local guide expertise of the particular tour we select. This tour, led by the legendary Joshua, was extraordinary and significantly more than we ever expected or imagined was possible. WOW!! What a difference a passionate, intelligent and enthusiastic individual can make!! Joshua was very attentive to all his guests and went above and beyond what average Tour Guides do. I read a ton of reviews before selecting this tour and am thrilled we went with this one and fortunate to have had Joshua as our guide. The itinerary description is thorough and seasonal alternative options are identified upfront, so if you’re surprised it’s because you didn’t read to the end. The tour is great value for money, it’s no wonder it’s a sell out.

Must Book Tour! Best in Banff! Ask for Joshua 💜 Joshua at Banff Everyday Tours was absolutely incredible. He was our tour guide for the full-day tour, and from start to finish he was knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and had the most effortless, beautiful sense of humor. By the end of the day, it truly felt like we were all friends.Since Moraine Lake was closed, we went to Marble Canyon instead and wow… it ended up being the highlight of the entire trip. The waterfalls, snow, and views were breathtaking. Photos don’t even begin to do it justice.Joshua was also an expert driver, navigating snowy conditions so smoothly that everyone felt completely safe and relaxed. In fact, most of the group ended up falling asleep in the van 😄 That’s how comfortable the ride was.My favorite part of the entire experience, though, was how Joshua treated my son. He made him his “co-pilot” for the day, let him sit up front, patiently answered every question, and made him feel completely included as the only child on the tour. Joshua didn’t just give us a tour, he created a core memory for my son and an unforgettable experience for me as a parent.I’m so glad we booked this trip. The cost of the tour was an incredible value! I actually had booked with a different company first, but the trip was cancelled, so I booked this tour at half the price. I’m SO glad I did. If you’re considering Banff Everyday Tours, do it and ask for Joshua. The GOAT. You will not regret it. 🏔️✨

A wonderful Banff–Lake Louise tour with Joshua Had a great day tour from Banff to Lake Louise and the surrounding areas. Our guide, Joshua, was passionate, friendly, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire trip.It was a very cold day, but he made sure everyone was comfortable and well taken care of. After the hike at Marble Canyon, he even prepared hot coffee and small snacks for us, which was a really thoughtful touch.He was also happy to help with photos, shared interesting information along the way, and kept the atmosphere warm and enjoyable despite the weather.Overall, a very well-organized tour, and Joshua truly made the experience special. Highly recommend!
