  • Anna D 1 contribution 0 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great day trip experience during April!! My family and I went on a day trip with Domini being our tour guide. He was very patient and shared with us all of the history behind every stop we made. We travelled on a group of 11 tourists, and Domini also gave us bottled waters and was prepared to listen to our bathroom stop requests. He also gave us plenty of time to get to know each stop and take photos. We were always in time for all of the scheduled stops and arrivals. Would definitely recommend this tour for families, solo travelers and just everyone in general!

PEOPLE LOVE US

I used this business on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 for a Seniors group to travel to the Grey Eagle Casino, Calgary from Strathmore. There were a total of 35 people in the group. We utilized the 56 passenger coach for our group so they could all be together in one Coach. We were delighted with the comfy seats, the excellent PA system, and the historical commentary provided by the Coach driver on our journey to and from the Casino; the added benefit of the large underbelly storage meant that the walkers didn't even need to be folded which was ideal for our group. The owner, Tony, was easy to deal with, very accommodating, and gifted our group with a bag of tasty Lindt chocolates which were a hit and disappeared quickly! I highly recommend this Shuttle service and would use it again for sure.

Iris Dunham (Event Coordinator for Ranch Estates)

This was the first tour I booked through TripAdvisor and was pleased with the whole process. Booking was simple and the tour was wonderful! Ian was our guide and he was very informative and friendly. We got on the tour at the Calgary Tower stop and we departed on time. We had a few issues finding one of the group members at another stop and got started on the tour a bit late. However, we didn't miss any stops and had plenty of time to take pictures and enjoy the views at each place. When we arrived in downtown Banff the driver gave us several recommendations for food. There was ample time for a sit down meal and some shopping. It was a really wonderful way to see the beauty of the area in a one day trip. Highly recommended!!!

(TripAdvisor Review)

Super happy with how the trip turned out, lots of good feedback about the new bus as well. Thank you for being flexible with the route change and many stops along the way out. It’s always a pleasure working with you on this trip!

Ian, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the area. This is a great way to get a taste of the National Park if you aren't hiring a car but bear in mind that they can't possibly show you as much as if you were driving yourself! It certainly made us keen to go back and spend more time in the areas we visited and more off the beaten track places in future. Don't forget that the altitude means that it can be a lot colder in the National Park than it is in Calgary, so take your gloves if going in autumn!

We loved the whole day! The tour of the Atlas Coal Mine was my favourite but my 15 year old daughter loved the Tyrell Museum. The whole day was very interactive and interesting. Norm was our guide for the entire day. He was friendly and full of knowledge. On the drive from Calgary to Drumheller, he gave us lots of facts of the city as well as the history of the area and the rock formations. My 13 year old son was able to get his energy out at our stops along the way and we were able to take a lot of great pictures. I would definitely recommend this company and tour. I am really glad we did it. We will be talking about it many years from now.

My friend and I had a wonderful and unforgettable experience at the Round the Block Tours. We did a tour around Calgary and in Drumheller so if you are a history buff this tour might be the one for you. Very friendly and accommodating hostesses, careful and kind bus drivers and especially Tony. Our favourite tour is the Drumheller tour, it’s a 3 hours drive with stops if you need a washroom and explore the near sites. We went to the Badlands (you’ll see Hoodoos which are really cool formed rocks so better have your camera with you), to the Drumheller Museum (approximately 2 hour tour in this; lots of dinosaur remains; will expand your knowledge about their history), to the underground coal mine (very cool tour; you get to wear helmets and go explore the underground coal mines and an excellent and very informative tour guide), you’ll go at the star mine suspension bridge too which was a little bit scary for us to cross but its worth it. It was a good day. We took a lot of good pictures. We made friends. We had fun and we’re up to do another tour from the Round the Block Tours in the future.

History of Calgary

Loved the tour. Very informative. Brian took the time to show us what made Calgary what it is today.

I have been living in Calgary for 14 years and accompanied a friend on the tour. What a pleasant experience! Our drivers on both tours were friendly and knowledgeable and full of interesting information about my home city that I never knew. I would highly recommend this city tour to visitors and locals

Even though it rained all day it was still an amazing trip. The Badlands and especially the Hoodoos are well worth seeing. The trip to the mine was very interesting. There were steps to climb but they were not that bad. Though due to the rain leaking through some of the gaps in the wall there were a few spots that needed a bit more care. The Tyrell Dinosaur museum was amazing and a great way to spend a rainy afternoon

A must to discover Calgary!

Price-quality ratio excellent! Well presented and organised! Brian, our guide, was a great and passionated speaker.

What a great day out - packed with lots of different activities and our tour guide and driver, Rose, was informative, helpful and made every effort to ensure we got the best out of the tour. It included stops at a number of scenic vantage points looking out on to various stunning landscapes or interesting geological or historical places, and a shoogly pedestrian suspension bridge for fun. A stop at a coal mine was fascinating and the conducted tour inside (by a specialist guide) a tremendous experience. The Royal Tyrrell museum is superb and well worth the two hours or so we were there. We even managed a short ferry ride. Whilst it was a long day for us - 7:15 am pick up and back around 6:30 or so - it was an even longer day for Rose but she was cheerful and informative to the end! Admissiions to the mine and the museum are included and its a small group tour so I thiught it excellent value. Lunch was extra and pruchased at a small school museum between the mine and the museum and was a good soup and sandwich, with pie to follow if desired - we tried one we hadn't come across before and it was home made and delicious.

Our firm booked RTB to take a group of 12 ladies to the mountains for a business networking hiking adventure. I received a call from Tony the day before to confirm details, our driver Rose called me when she arrived (half an hour early!!) and everything went great the whole day. Rose was super easy going, and made sure we were well taken care of. I will use RTB again next year for our 2nd annual hiking adventure!

(Karen K. TripAdvisor Review)

I had an extra day in Calgary, was looking for doing something and then I found this day trip. The booking was super easy and so was the day itself. The driver was waiting in front of the Calgary Tower and greeting me right away. We were 9 people on the tour from all over the world. It was the perfect size! The tour started at 7:30am and we had a little washroom break in Canmore. Our first stop was at Lake Louise where we had about 90mins so spend our time walking around and checking out the scenery. After that we headed to Moraine Lake where we had about 30mins -- a bit short for my liking but it was okay. We had to wait for a group member for about 15mins and because of the tight schedule our driver had to shorten our time in Banff down to about 1h15mins which I really disliked but she immediately offered to stay a little bit longer in the Rocky Mountains after checking with the group if that's okay. I really liked this kind of service, offering extra spare time! After Banff we went and had a look at Bow Falls, Surprise Corner and had 30mins at the Tunnel Mountains Hoodoos Trail to enjoy this beautiful view after heading back to Calgary where we arrived at around 7pm.

It was the perfect tour for getting a little insight in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Everything went really well, the driver was super nice and offered us free water during the trip. On the entire trip she told us a lot about the area, culture, history, etc. A lot of information, a lot of amazing nature, a great trip!

I would probably do it again!

  • Anna D 1 contribution 0 5.0 of 5 bubbles Great day trip experience during April!! My family and I went on a day trip with Domini being our tour guide. He was very patient and shared with us all of the history behind every stop we made. We travelled on a group of 11 tourists, and Domini also gave us bottled waters and was prepared to listen to our bathroom stop requests. He also gave us plenty of time to get to know each stop and take photos. We were always in time for all of the scheduled stops and arrivals. Would definitely recommend this tour for families, solo travelers and just everyone in general!

The Canada Bus Calgary Banff recent customer reviews

It was a lovely route however the buss was 30 min late and it was a mini van with no Wi-Fi or toilets. But doesn’t really matter. Just would be god to know

The bus was good and the seats were nice. However, the bus was late in arriving at pick up by approx 30 mins. Need to improve this.

Worst experience ever . Bus was 45 mins late and on calling customer service they said we have no idea where bus is. Ruined my whole trip and I cancelled. Lost my money

Rider Express

According to customer reviews, Rider Express provides great service with friendly and helpful drivers. The buses are clean and comfortable, although there have been some delays due to a busy season. Overall, customers had fun and safe trips with this affordable bus company. Additionally, the booking process is easy and convenient, with clear pick-up and drop-off points. However, it was suggested that improving the proximity of the coach to Westbrook Mall train station would enhance the journey experience from Calgary city.

Rider Express Calgary Banff recent customer reviews

Easy to find and book the right bus service. The pick up and drop off point was clear and fairly easy to get to: Although the pick up point at Westbrook Mall could be vastly improved if the coach was closer to (adjacent) to the train station ~ it just makes for an easier, more seamless journey from Calgary city. Coach trip itself was very good: pleasant and clear coach driver (Simon); timing was as advertised /perfect.

The driver was very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way guiding us through. Great service.

Rider Express is actually good and very affordable. The bus is clean and comfortable. It’s just late because of a busy season but overall, it was a fun and safe trip.

Canada\'s Rockies (Base, 8 Days) Tour

  • In-depth Cultural

Canada's Rockies (Base, 8 Days)

Let me state from the outset that our Journey through the Clouds on board of Rocky Mountaineer was a very pleasant experience. We would definitely recommend it to a friend. (And we already have!). However, this review is focused on the areas that need improvement. It starts with a mess. The train terminal in Vancouver is obviously not equipped for the number of passengers waiting to board the train. There is a severe shortage of chairs. The chairs or sofas that are there are more suited for a large dentist office, not for the train terminal. The poor passengers, most of them in their 50’s and 60’s are searching helplessly around for something to sit on. In the meantime all the management has to do is visit any airport boarding gate. The solution there is vivid and simple. Our departure was festive and joyous. The entire staff of Rocky Mountaineer lined up to wave us goodbye. But then, I discovered myself sitting at the very end of the car next to a big man. I couldn’t see my wife and daughter sitting in the row in front of me on those bulky but not very comfortable chairs. My neighbor and I found ourselves embarrassingly jostling for the elbow space. As I said, the seats are massive but are not as comfortable as those designed for the long-haul airline flights. While transcontinental flights take 12-14 hours, here, passengers will sit in their seats for 2 – 3 days. I complained and they moved us to another car where we were sitting much closer upfront and I was seated in the same raw as my family. We have made this reservation a year in advance. One would think that having made it so early we should have had better seating arrangements. A little more consideration for the family members, a little extra consideration for those who signed up first and finally a better software allowing people to change their seats (just like the airlines) would go a long way. Finally, let me address the major problem: inadequate dining room and kitchen facilities. Because there is a severe shortage of restaurant tables combined with an acute shortage of kitchen facilities we, the passengers are divided into two groups. Half of the car has breakfast at 9, the second – at 11. Likewise lunch: one group eats at 12, the other at 2 PM. The shortage of dining cars aside, the kitchen is very small and can’t keep up with the dining room demand. So, by the time I get my breakfast I am on the fourth cup of coffee and even that is already cold. This presents a particularly big problem with lunch. Usually, I go to bed early and get up early (4 AM). So, if I finish my lunch at 4 PM, I will not be ready to eat dinner at 7. Because I refuse to go to bed with a full stomach, if I don’t start dinner by 6:30 – 7, I will not eat dinner that day at all. That said the quality of food aboard the train was excellent. My compliments to the Chef and his team! Coming from me it’s a big compliment. I am a foodie and would routinely travel anywhere for good food, be it Lion or Bologna. To summarize, Rocky Mountaineer is worth the money. It’s a great way to spend a vacation. Even your teenagers would like it. Yet, there is a lot to improve. Being from the US, I hope that soon someone would take this idea to the US Rockies and make a fortune.

The guide was very thoughtful knowledgeable and attentive. I loved what I saw. only complaints would be with some of the accommodations. Im very glad we had someone to handle our bags. the best one was Royal Scot. the one in Banff was too remote and didn’t include decent dining options. the same iin Lake Jasper, although they overcharged for a simple breakfast because there were few options. 18 Cad for breakfast and they wouldn’t spring for real Maple syrup? anyway the tour was awesome. many thx to our guide and driver

The scenery in the Rockies is breathtaking, the towns of Banff, Jasper and Whistler a delight and Victoria is charming with lots to see. Our shared house experience at Blue River with the barbecue cooked by Joanne was also something to remember.

Western Journey Tour

Western Journey

The views on this tour are spectacular and make it worthwhile. The distances travelled by bus are in hundreds of kilometres and long duration. There were more than enough stops. Plenty of memorable photos taken. The additional tours to lake Louise the glacier and Vancouver Island are worthwhile but tours in Canada are not inexpensive. The hotels are more than adequate though the hotel in Kamloops is a little dated. Please be aware that you will in the main be living out of a suitcase. Our driver was doing this trip for the first time and took all the necessary steps to ensure that we arrived safely. More interaction from the guide would have been appreciated.
