Great guided hike!
Erin_M
, Jul 2021
There were only 2 of us on our hike so it turned out to be a private tour. Our guide suggested a hike up Stanley Glacier in Kootney Park just inside the BC border. It was a good hike for those that can manage and took about 2 hrs to reach the end of the path. We had a fantastic lunch on the mountainside (provided by our guide) and learned quite a bit about the local geology as well as the flora and fauna. We enjoyed ourselves and were absolutely beat after but in a good way! Highly recommended!
A great hiking experience.

This was an amazing experience. Rob was a great and fun company. He was very knowledgeable and lots of energy. It was during a hot day so early morning Stanley glacier hike was definitely a good choice. Due to recently partially lifted pandemic restrictions, most places were not that busy - which was a great thing. We finished our hike quick, being a small group, and Rob was kind enough and took us on another short but beautiful hike nearby to Marble Canyon. Overall great experience and highly recommended.

We had a fantastic day! Our guide Matt was friendly and knowledgeable! The weather went from hot and muggy to rainy and cold so be prepared. Lol I grew up here and I had forgotten how quickly things can change in the mountains! We definitely will go on another adventure. Breath taking beauty. Home:) ❤️

Awesome guided tour from Pete through Lake Louise and Plain of Six Glaciers! Definitely provided so much knowledge about Canadian history / landscape evolution, as well as personal stories and recommendations for our trip. Great overall tour group, and he did a good job of getting the group chatting and getting to know one another. One of the highlights of our trip! The recs he provided also allowed my friend and I to enjoy other restaurants, and day time hiking activities that we may not have otherwise tried. 10/10 recommend!!

The hike was great but the forest was ordinary. A regular forest juts like we know them. Don't expect to see blue water or amazing rivers. It was a normal forest with great trees and vegetation. The guide a girl for once XD was really nice and informative. It wasn't what i expected but still, it was nice.

Lake Louise is spectacular, but it can be really busy so getting there without driving is one of the big advantages of a tour traffic and parking can be a hassle. I appreciated that I was able to book this guided hike less than 24 hours in advance even though they ask for more notice on their website. Our guide, Edward, was patient, encouraging it's just around the corner...you are doing great, and knowledgeable. On the drive out to Lake Louise from Banff, he told us a lot about the area which was really interesting. We had different levels of experience within our group a total of 7 - many of us did not know each other, but that was never a problem. Even though this hike is very popular and can get really busy, especially in the summer, I still highly recommend it.
Excellent tour. Our guide Brittany was...
