Dominique and Tyler are warm and gracious hosts for your trip to Banff-- much more than tour guides-- they take time with each passenger to understand their itinerary and make helpful suggestions; where to go, what to see etc. Dominique provided great local insights that shaped not only my Hop On Tour, but my trip plan for the next 3 days in the park. Terrific travel professionals. Highly recommended!
Every stop was great...

Local, friendly and informed guides.
Shuttles run on time- don't be late.
All the chosen stops were beautiful, even in the rain! Don't miss Johnson Gorge's beautiful blue water.
Amazing

Despite having the trip disrupted by road works the guides sorted it so everyone saw what they wanted with the minimum delay. Very friendly and informative.
Response from Host , Sep 2019
The road works definitely caused us some consternation getting around Banff. It is really great to hear that our efforts to minimize the impact on you, our guest, was noticed is a fantastic reward!
Thank you for recognizing the efforts of our guides and drivers. And thank you for your recommendation to other travellers!
Great option

If you want to see the top attractions at the busy time of the year this is the thing to do; the bus gets you right to the front, you can adjust your schedule to fit what you want to see the most and the staff is knowledgeable and helpful we will definitely do this again.

My husband and I were in banff for our anniversary and booking the tour was one highlight of our trip. Stops at all the places we wanted to go to without all the hassle of trying to battle the crowds. Dom and Tyler were great. Dom was very informative and you learn a lot of interesting facts and Tyler’s stories of past tourists are really funny. We also saw two bears. At the end of the trip Dom asks everyone what else they have planned and I asked her for tips to go back to Moraine to canoe and she graciously allowed us to get back on the bus two days later so we don’t have to battle the crowds or have any trouble. It was soo nice of her to allow us to do that. We have already recommended this tour to three other groups of friends visiting Banff this year bc it was truly a great experience of kind people and hospitality.

Next best thing since sliced bread!

We scheduled the bus twice during our stay in Banff this past July. Dominique and Nick were super hosts, helped us plan our daily schedules, and gave us helpful tips to make the most out of our vacation. Seeing the closed parking lots, long lines in the overflow lots, and cars parked miles up the roads made us so glad we didn't drive ourselves. The bus drove us right up to our entrances and we started off our days stress free. Compliments to our hosts who made us feel so welcomed. We enjoyed visiting with them during our time on the bus. We will for sure utilize the Hop On and Hop Off bus next time in Banff and highly recommend it to others!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
