Bill KovacsMy trip to canada was full of hardships -BUT Grizzly Tours featuring Brooke (the tour guide) was AMAZING! Grizzly tours was: flexible Good at communication ahead of the trip Convenient Fairly priced Brooke was friendly and knowledgeable Everything was on time and we'll planned The mini bus was comfortable The ride went by quickly (even though we got pick up in calgary, 2 hours from the park).

YEJIN KANGIt was perfect weather to enjoy the lakes of Banff. Thanks to our kind and witty guide, Mark, the drive time was really enjoyable as well. I loved the viewpoints he recommended. With a short hike at Lake Louise, I was able to enjoy an amazing view, and I also loved the beautiful color of Moraine Lake. If I get the chance, I’d love to join another tour with Mark!Posted on Google

Myla HartIf you’re heading out with Grizzly Banff Tours, definitely ask for Mark! He’s awesome and honestly made our whole day. Mark is super down-to-earth and knows Banff inside out. He dropped so many cool facts about the area and the wildlife! He was super thoughtful, too. It was freezing on our tour, and right when we needed it most, he surprised us all with hot chocolate! He was constantly making sure we were good and helping us get the best photos. Mark, thank you so much for such an amazing day! You took care of every little thing so we could just chill, stay warm, and take in the crazy views. 10/10, request Mark if you can!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
