Why Guide Me Banff?

Customized Tour to Fit You

From the moment you get in touch, you’ll be working with one of our trip leaders who live in Banff.  When you arrive, you won’t be a part of a larger tour group but will have a detailed itinerary laid out just for you with our friendly staff available for the duration of your trip to give you extra insight, answer your questions, and respond to your calls whenever needed.  Think of it like a rep from a larger tour company, but they’re dedicated to you throughout your trip.

Small Local Team

You'll already have spoken to the people who will be guiding you during your trip before you even get here. They will know you and what you are looking for.

Year - round adventures

Our tours run throughout the year, bringing you to the most memorable places in Banff. Each day gives you a balance of guided touring and opportunities to explore on you own. Let us know what piques your interest!
