Incredibly helpful guide to Banff and surrounding area! I recommend this guide to anybody planning a trip to Banff and surrounding area. It's jam-packed with literally 100s of great ideas for things to do in the Rockies, and keep you busy on your trip. We found lots of ideas and inspiration in here that I didn't find anywhere else online.

We are going over to Canada September 2027, so i got the guide to help with the organising of our dream holiday. It is great and is proving to be so useful with my planning.

A really helpful resource when we were in Canada to plan our day. Loved being able to wake up in a new place and quickly look for recommended places nearby.

The guide was incredibly useful! We used it everyday to help plan our day. It was very user friendly and worked in many areas with no cell service. All of the recommendations were spot on, especially for restaurants and coffee shops. We basically followed the itineraries and it was like having a personal guide with us. Highly recommend to get the most out of this beautiful area.

All of the information was well organized, easy to understand and gave me the confidence to try some find some new hidden gems. Highly recommended and I’m so glad I found this. Five stars all around!
