Hey Wanderers,
If you've ever wanted to explore the Rockies but don’t want the hassle of driving (or don't), let us introduce you to Rocky Mountain Trips. With over 200 five-star reviews, this family-run company truly knows how to create a memorable experience in the Rockies. We recently joined them for the Banff Adventure to Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise & Bow Falls, and it was one of the best day trips we’ve done.
A Tour That Feels Like Family
Rocky Mountain Trips isn’t just a tour company—it’s a passion project started by Tito, someone who grew up falling in love with Banff and wanted to share that experience with others. The best part? It’s a family business, and that warmth comes through in every interaction.
Our guide, Teddy, was fantastic. Even though we’ve been to Banff many times, he managed to show us places we’d never seen before. His energy, knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm made the day even more special. It didn’t feel like a standard guided tour—it felt like we were exploring with a friend who knew all the best spots.

See the Best of Banff in One Day – This tour covers some of the most stunning locations, including Johnston Canyon (Lower Falls), Lake Louise, Bow Falls, Banff Avenue, and the iconic “Castle on the Mountain.”
