Banff July 2026 It’s been two weeks since we returned home from our tour of Banff and the Canadian Rockies. I waited to write a review to see if any of the astonishment of the trip would wear off; it didn’t every time I show friends the pictures of the Banff Gondola to Lake Louise and everything in-between it brings back an immediate smile and lasting memories. Banff was not on our radar however when talking to friends it always came up as a bucket list destination. Our close friends Bob and Sue suggested the trip to us so we checked out the itinerary on Wes’s site. The initial impression was a lot of hiking with folks much younger than my wife, 69 and me 71. We decided to call and speak directly with Wes about our main concern of not enjoying the trip because we couldn’t keep up with the others and would miss out on seeing the beauty of the area. This was not the case at all, I was able to complete all the hikes and for the folks who were hesitant Wes had arranged much shorter hikes. Every part of Wes’s itinerary worked out smoothly from the airport shuttle to and from Banff to the daily planned bus excursions. We had the same bus driver each day in Banff who was extremely knowledgeable about the National Parks, wildlife and winter life in the area. Chloe, our bus driver, and one of the many Aussie in Banff complimented Wes’s knowledge of the area. On the trip Wes had a new employee in training for future Banff trips, Luke. Luke is great addition to team Wes as he helped with the photo taking and overall success. Plus those peanut butter and banana sandwiches were the bomb. Overall this adventure exceeded our expectations and is highly recommended as the most inclusive tour of the Banff Canadian Rockies. We’ll be looking to join Wes on future trips! Ed & Melissa

The first thing that comes to mind after our amazing trip with Wes is just how easy he made the entire planning process! The only thing we had to do was purchase our airline tickets; Wes handled everything else. After researching Banff, we realized that visiting all the spots on our list typically requires juggling shuttle reservations or navigating difficult parking. Wes took care of every logistical detail. The number of sites we saw in just one week was incredible. If we had tried to do this on our own, we would have been lucky to experience even half of what we did. The cost of the trip is a great value for everything you get. Wes does a great job at keeping costs down while maintaining a 5-star experience. If you planned this on your own, your expenses would definitely be higher. Key highlights of the experience included: - Expert Planning: Every day was perfectly mapped out. - Private Transport: Our small group had a private tour bus and driver, avoiding the larger commercial buses. - Thoughtful Details: On our longer days, delicious lunches were packed and ready for us. - Daily Tips: He knew exactly when to hike or canoe to avoid crowds and gave great dinner recommendations. - Professional Photography: Wes is so skilled! He was always there to get the perfect shot, and you will love the photos he sends. You’ll likely end up with a new profile picture! - Group Dynamics: We loved meeting new people. The relationships we developed made the trip so much fun! Saying every little detail was covered is an understatement; it was truly a world-class experience. We were 100% satisfied and credit Wes entirely for making the trip so memorable. We recommend booking with him without any hesitation—you will not regret it! Dawn & Erik

We had a wonderful experience traveling with Wes and I would highly recommend the Banff trip. Perfect itinerary, wonderful accomodations, stunning scenery, a fabulous group of people and best of all I did not have to plan anything except getting to Canada.
