7-Day Canadian Rockies Sightseeing Tour
A small-group sightseeing tour for 2 to 6 guests through Banff, Lake Louise, Yoho, Kootenay and the Icefields Parkway. Short walks, three group dinners, and a private pickup and drop-off at Calgary Airport.
- 7 days, 6 nights
- 2 to 6 guests
- Easy: short walks only
- Breakfast and lunch every day
The best-known Rockies, at an easy pace
This is a sightseeing tour, not a hiking tour. Your guide drives and hosts the group, and every stop is a viewpoint, a lakeshore or a short walk on a maintained path.
You stay four nights at Everwild in Canmore, then two nights in a log cabin at Baker Creek, where your guide joins the group for campfire evenings. Breakfast and lunch are included each day, plus three group dinners in Canmore and Lake Louise.
If you can walk 3 to 5 km on a maintained path with some stairs, you will be comfortable. Looking for longer days on the trail? See our 8-Day Premium Hiking Tour.
The neighbours you might meet
The Rockies are home to far more than mountains. Your guide knows where to slow down and how to look, and always keeps a respectful distance.
Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. We follow Parks Canada's guidelines and guests stay in the vehicle when animals are near the road.
Turquoise lakes, snow-capped peaks and the quiet in between
