Best Day Out ~ Loved every minute
LaurenJ1323,Jul 6, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Absolutely Top Class Day Out! I’m honest, & if it’s not right I’ll say so, but there really isn’t anything I didn’t like about todays tour. It’s a long day, I’d have had half hr at Lake Louise as it’s so touristy, & gone to Moraine Lake, but that’s my preference as I’m tight for time. Angel our tour guide was extremely polite, courteous, thoughtful & worked very hard to look after & include everyone. I really cannot recommend him or the company enough. Book now (if there’s space, you won’t regret it).
Great time visiting 3 national parks

5.00This was an amazing experience seeing the beauty of the 3 National Parks in a day. Our tour guide Mario (or Super Mario haha) was exceptional, always ensuring we were comfortable and well taken care of. He had good conversations with us, brought us to all the best spots and also catered experiences for both the young and energetic folk while also having something for the less young folk:) Mario really made the experience special and I am really grateful to have been with him on this tour. The places visited too are stunning and chosen well.
Family and kid approved - highly recommend

Fun family time in the mountains

5.00We had the pleasure of having Super Mario as our guide. The day could not have better. Mario was very interactive, engaging and shared a wealth of interesting information along the way. Unlike other tours that might just drop you off in the parking lot, he joined is for hikes , took photos when needed. We shared lots of laughter and stories along the way. There were six of us as a family with 2 visiting from eastern Canada. As it is so hard to visit the mountains in prime time this was the perfect way to visit the mountains in a carefree and fun way. Thank you Super Mario and Rocky Mountain Trips for a first class experience. You rock!
Fantastic
