This is the very best way to enjoy the spectacular mountains between Jasper and Banff. Ben is a fantastic guide as he anticipated our every need. I've cycled in a lot of places - Cabot Trail, Laurentians, Croatia, Argentina - and this trip was one of the most memorable. Thank you so much Ben!

David & I were a little terrified of riding on a main highway, but Ben's "story" and map each day a long with options gave us the confidence that we could handle it...and we did!!! Each nightly hotel had it's charm and we loved the after dinner hikes to local waterfalls & sights. We especially enjoyed Morraine Lake at sunset--spectacular!! Ben's expertise and all the "extras" that he provided helped make this trip a 10!!!! Pam & David

The Jasper to Banff cycle tour is a perfect way to experience the awe-inspiring Canadian Rockies! Ben is truly the best guide. He answered all our questions/concerns prior to the trip and during the tour made the entire experience flawless. The bikes were in great condition; any adjustments we needed to make on the road, he was there to help. Ben was always there along the route for support and delicious snacks, which our teenage kids (and their parents) appreciated. The lunches on the road were hearty and drinks cold. The accommodations were comfortable and evening meals filling. We especially enjoyed the side trips to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise - the views were breathtaking. Everyone in our group was able to go at their own pace, so no one felt rushed. We met lovely people in our group as well. This was a bonding experience for our family and one that we will cherish. Thank you for being such a professional, positive, and knowledgeable guide, Ben. We cannot say enough about Mountain Madness and recommend it highly.
