Itinerary

Pickup in Calgary
6:00 AM
Your driver-guide will collect you from your selected pickup location in Calgary. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery as the city skyline fades behind you and the Rocky Mountains begin to fill the horizon on the drive west along the Trans-Canada Highway.

Lake Louise
~2 hour
Arrive at one of Canada's most celebrated natural wonders. The impossibly turquoise water of Lake Louise — fed by glacial melt and framed by towering mountain peaks — is a sight that genuinely takes your breath away. Stroll the shoreline, take in the views of the Victoria Glacier, and capture photographs that will make everyone back home envious. Your guide will share the history and geology of this remarkable place.

The Grizzly Paw Brewery — Tour & Lunch (Canmore)
~1.5–2 hours
Head to Canmore for the heart of today's experience: a guided behind-the-scenes tour of The Grizzly Paw, one of Alberta's most acclaimed craft breweries. Learn the fascinating story behind each batch, discover the local ingredients that give these beers their distinctive character, and enjoy tasting flights of some of their finest brews. A light lunch is included in the tour price — and non-alcoholic options are always available for those who prefer them.

Banff Townsite
~2 hours
Choose your own Banff afternoon. Explore the bustling streets of Banff Avenue, browse boutique shops, pop into a local café, or simply soak in the mountain-town atmosphere.

Surprise Corner
~20 minutes
One of Banff's most iconic viewpoints, Surprise Corner offers a postcard-perfect framing of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel rising majestically above the Bow River valley. The name says it all — prepare to be genuinely surprised by the drama and beauty of this classic Rocky Mountain scene.

Bow Falls
~20 minutes
Located just minutes from Banff Avenue, Bow Falls is a picturesque waterfall set against a backdrop of pine forests and rugged mountain terrain. It's a peaceful and beautiful way to wind down before heading home — and a final chance to capture the essence of Banff at its most photogenic.
