Tito ensured this was the best tour of my trip! He had amazing facts about the area as well as some cool movie/tv show trivia ( eg shows which were filmed in the area). He was extremely friendly and made the day very enjoyable. The tour itself is fantastic- a taster of the area so you come back for more! We had plenty of time in each spot for sightseeing plus some walking too which I loved. Car ride was extremely comfortable.
No negatives! I would highly recommend this tour to everyone- Tito really knows the area and spends heaps of time in it himself doing lots of activities, so he has tons of recommendations. His love of the area is contagious.
I went in spring- pleasant temps ( still cool, avg 8 degrees) but still had lots of snow around and some of the lakes were frozen. I loved being able to walk on the frozen lake Louise and see the frozen waterfall!

Tito was amazing. And so does our tour team. It was really nice to learn more about Rocky mountains. He knows a lot and good at storytelling.
Everything was excellent. This is a small group tour and luckily I met great team members.
As it was a small group, we took a wagon, which was way better than Van in many ways. My favourite part was windows. Even if I sat on the rear row, I could see the scenery through the big windows (it also has window on the top) if you prefer small group tour this would be a perfect option for you.

The tour started off with a quick pick up at Calgary Downtown. Afterwards we went on to the national park where we visited several excellent viewing points as well as the main attractions such as Lake Louise and Banff town. All in all it was a well thought out tour and to top it all of, our guide Tito was wonderful. He made sure all of us were comfortable and has a lot of knowledge about the area and its must views.

Tito was a fantastic tour guide. He had a large comfortable SUV with panoramic roof. His knowledge was fantastic and took us to fantastic locations. Our family of 3 had an amazing day seeing all the spectacular sights and would definitely recommend Tito’s hosting.

Tito, my family and I want to thank you for making of this tour an amazing experience for us.
He is so patient and a high-knowledge person. He knows the whole zone of Banff like the palm of his hand!
We never got bored when we were on our way there, he is always telling you facts and stories about the mountains and the places nearby.
I also want to mention that he takes you there in a very nice and fancy SUV with leather seats and USB ports everywhere.
