Be certain to get separate tickets for the glacier tour! Although the glacier tour/skywalk is NOT included and you have to buy it separately, it’s still cheaper than any day trip that includes it. Bring good shoes for Colombia icefield because it is slippery. Our guide was nice and even contacted me on the phone, when he did not see me at the pickup location.

This was a great trip. Lots to see and the scenery was spectacular. Our driver and guide Kamal was amazing. He had a wealth of knowledge about the area and ensured we were taken care of with curtesy and politeness.
It’s our first time in Alberta and we really enjoyed our trip! The icefields activities were amazing and so as the beautiful lakes we went to.
This was a wonderful day full of amazing stops. We even had snow to make it more magical. Kamal was an excellent guide and driver
It's a very long day with lots and lots of driving. I understand. You have to go where the attractions/lakes are.
This was such a great experience! Our driver, Daman, was so kind and professional. He was so helpful and provided great advice and photo taking skills! It was so nice to have someone drive us from Calgary to Jasper. We originally were going to drive ourselves, but then we realized that there was no cell phone service anywhere on the freeway and as two millennials that rely on our phones for everything, that made us very nervous.
Long drive up to the Ice Field and know if you go, plan on spending extra money to actually go on to the ice. Otherwise you’ll sit in the chalet for 3 hours. We were not told that and by the time we got there the trip was already booked.
I enjoyed this tour very much. It was 13 hours long but the surrounding natural beauty made the time pass fast. Our tour guide Kamal was organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend this tour.
It was a very wonderful experience we had today! and aside from the beautiful scene, our driver Kamal was so good, so knowledgeable and so pleasing. Is it possible to request him to be our driver for tomorrow, for the Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary, etc… Ref. # 1351911135. Hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you.
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide-Gaurav (Mr.G)! He was incredibly patient, friendly, and maintained such a positive attitude throughout the entire tour. He made sure everyone was comfortable, answered all our questions, and created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. His knowledge, professionalism, and positive energy truly made the tour special. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great tour experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An absolute 10/10 experience! Our tour guide, Kamal, was top-notch—incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and well-versed in every location we visited. The drive was smooth and comfortable from start to finish. Thank you
Kamal was an excellent tour guide and driver. He shared interesting snippets of information throughout the tour and kept us entertained with his witty humor. We really enjoyed the entire experience and would definitely book with this company again when we return to Banff!
Our guide driver was very helpful and knowledgeable of the area. Beautiful scenery and easy access with the tour van so we didn't have any parking hassles. The tour of the glacier, lunch and skywalk are not included and have to be purchased separately. Pack a lunch if you can because options at the Icefields Discovery Center are extremely limited and expensive. The separate glacier walk was interesting but overpriced and the skywalk was underwhelming and overrated, but this tour was excellent and a great introduction to the area.
Great trip saw all the must see locations on the Icelandic Prkwy. Our driver was personable and knowledgeable.
One of the best experience one can have. Extremely polite guide and very relaxed trip. Loved every bit of it!
Loved it and everything was on time! The ride was comfortable and made new friends :) The Colombia icefield tour was worth it and overall I would recommend this tour group.
Excellent experience even though it was long drive. Our tour guide Karol was very nice and accommodating our late 3:30pm Columbia glacier activity. I will recommend this tour.
Our experience was smooth and Kamal was great! He was accommodating and really well versed, highly recommend
Great adventure and definitely worth it! Book your tickets ahead of time and confirm the timing with your tour guide before booking. Be prepared for a long day, but it’s an experience you won’t forget!
Wonderful day and our guide Sam was the best. Sam was very informative and he made sure everyone had a great time. Lake Peyto was exceptional, a huge Wow moment. Bow lake was also beautiful.
Excellent tour guide and we saw many wonderful sights in the limited time period of the tour. Great value.
The trip was absolutely wonderful - everything was perfectly organized from pickup to return. There was plenty of free time to enjoy all the beauty! Special thanks to our guide Kamal, who provided all the necessary information without overwhelming us.
Very very long day from Calgary, but many beautiful places. Bow Lake was surprisingly beautiful even with the smokey skies. The reflections were awesome. The walk on the glacier and sky walk were fine, but lots of people.
We had an amazing trip to the Columbia Icefields and thoroughly enjoyed every part of the experience. The stops at Crowfoot Glacier, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake were absolutely breathtaking and made the journey even more memorable. A special thanks to our tour guide, Sameer Mohammed, who was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient throughout the trip. He shared interesting facts and insights about each destination, answered all our questions, and ensured everyone had a great experience. His professionalism and enthusiasm made the tour both enjoyable and informative. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the stunning beauty of the Canadian Rockies!
Nice tour, visiting the icefiled in the giant artict veicles was worth the experience by itself!
Nice guide-we had plenty of time at each site. Double check time for pick-up and return. Buy tickets for icefields parkway ahead of time.
It was a great experience. Very relaxed itinerary and covered all major attractions on the route. The driver, Kamal, is very knowledgeable and accommodating.
The itinerary was very well-planned and the scenery along the way was beautiful. The operator was very helpful and patient. A very worthwhile trip.
The ride was very comfortable and there was no hurry made by the guide at visiting spots. Guide gave us details about each spot perfectly.
We had a really great experience with Majestic tours. They came in early, picked us at the right spot. And our guide was really great. He had all the local insights and covered all the key areas.
Very good and relaxing trip, the tour guide did not rush us and the views were extraordinary as long as you're willing to hike a bit.
Route is scheduled very well. The guide is very nice and friendly. Weather great. Very fantastic tour. Highly recommend Majestic Banff Experiences
Very well organised trip.Driver was friendly and informed very well about the every locatio we visited
Had a beautiful trip to the lake with beautiful views and a calm, relaxing vibe. Big thanks to our driver for the safe, smooth journey and friendly attitude, really added to the experience. Pick up and drop off was convenient and on time.
Trip was fantastic and driverwas super friendly and helpful. Covered all as mentioned with proper time. Well managed, appreciate the service.
I had a fabulous experience! I thoroughly enjoyed all the activities - everything was well-organized and definitely worth the money. Our tour guide, Sharry, was amazing - very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He made the trip even more enjoyable with his insights and helpful attitude.
Sharry was the best host ever! He was very accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, the sights were incredible, everything was magical! I'm not super fit but managed the walks to see the sights.All up it was one of the best days I've ever had, highly highly recommend.
Amazing day, wonderful tour, Super guide Sharan .Enjoyed the trip, worth to come again in different seasons, 100% recommend
Good experience with this jasper trip.Didnt get chance to visit columbia icefields but peyto lake and other stops were amazing.Overall good experience. Driver was on time and informative
A breathtaking journey through the Rockies. Castle viewpoint, peyto lake and bow lake were stunning. Missed the Columbia icefields but for sure will be saving it into my bucket list.
The trip is long and tiring and there may be delays at the glacier activities location, but it's worth it. The landscapes are wonderful. Maybe if you do this tour leaving from Canmore or Banff it will be less tiring than leaving from Calgary, but it was great to have the option to go and return from Calgary. Our guide was super kind and helpful, especially with the delays that occurred because the glacier had to close for over an hour due to local conditions. He drove very well, attentively and safely. At the lake stops, he was present, attentive to the group and helpful, helping people enjoy the place.
Starting to get to know the Rocky Mountains region with this tour was full of expectations. What an incredible place, what a view and experience, walking on the glacier, wonderful. Gaurav, our guide and driver, was a kind and attentive person the whole time, keeping everyone comfortable and informed about the time at each visited spot. Also shared knowledge and stories from the region. It's one of those trips you shouldn't and can't miss.
