This was highly anticipated activity for our group and it didn’t disappoint. Really enjoyed the overall activity but loved taking our bikes through some snow. Michael was very personable and knowledgeable. He was a nice, relaxed guide.

Michael was an absolutely incredible guide. He always made sure to check on us and make sure we were comfortable the entire time! Easily our favorite thing so far on our Canada trip!

We were so glad we did this. They had nice, new bikes that were easy to ride, even in fresh snow. It got us out and into areas around Banff we wouldn’t otherwise have seen, and Michael, our guide, gave us plenty of historical and geological context to make the ride more interesting. Bring your snow helmet and goggles, and dress for the wind that you’ll be making while you ride.

The views were incredible! Our guide, Simon, was fantastic and so much fun! He gave us plenty of time for photos and taking in the views. He even took some family pictures for us. The tour ended with some delicious hot chocolate. 10/10 would do this again!
