Amazing and memorable experience!

Jenny_J, Okt. 2023

My family did the tour with Jacob last night and it was an amazing and a memorable experience! My 9-year old son even said it was the best part of our trip (and I 100% agree with him). We experienced something not a lot of people get to experience which is to hike and gaze at the stars at Banff Nat’l Park in the evening. Aside from being funny and very knowledgeable, Jacob is an amazing tour- you would really see how passionate he is about what he does. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend it for anyone who is looking to do something out of their comfort zone!

Thank you! This feedback means a lot to us. All the best in 2024 - Jacob

Excellent tour, excellent guide!

Catherine_M, Okt. 2023

This was a fantastic tour. Our guide, Jacob, was funny and extremely knowledgeable. He had the walk timed perfectly so that we see the sunset in a specific place at a specific time. It was not a difficult walk, and the guide made stops along the way and told lots of stories. The stars were amazing, pictures do not do the landscape and sky justice.

Antwort des Veranstalters, Okt. 2023

Thank you!

A very magical and memorable experience

Wendy_S, Okt. 2023

This was such a unique walking tour. Jacob was so knowledgeable and made it really fun. We were extremely lucky as the sky was so clear. I have never seen a sky like it. We even saw a shooting star and then to top it all, as we walked back we saw the aurora lights. Jacob even went out of his way to drop us back into town. Would highly recommend, a very magical and memorable experience .

Unpleasant Tour Guide Experience: A Professional Review

Nicole_H, Okt. 2023

The encounter was truly exceptional. The tour guide exhibited a high level of expertise and effectively engaged the group. Regrettably, our interaction with the tour guide took an unpleasant turn when he seemingly singled out my friends and me due to a perceived lateness on our part and a misunderstanding of our actions from afar. Instead of addressing this matter discreetly, he opted to display disrespect towards us in front of the entire group. Prior to the tour, we received a notification specifying a departure time of 7:50 p.m., without an explicit mention of an earlier arrival requirement. Consequently, we arrived at the designated location approximately half an hour ahead of schedule. It was only when a friend alerted us to the gathering of the group that we joined them. At this juncture, the tour guide erroneously accused us of having observed the group from a distance while sitting in our vehicle, an assertion that was unfounded. He also accused us of causing an unnecessary delay and wasting everyone's time. Despite our intention to maintain a respectful demeanor, the tour guide persisted in his unwarranted confrontation, suggesting that he could exclude us from the tour. We refrained from responding to this provocation, as we wished to avoid any scene or disruption. As the tour commenced, we harbored hope for a positive experience; however, the guide continued to target us. He inquired about our occupations, and when I could not provide details about my friend's job, as it differed from my own, I chose not to respond and instead attended to a message from my mother, who had recently undergone surgery. It appeared that the guide was dissatisfied with our lack of engagement and remarked, "Are you enjoying yourselves?" I replied affirmatively, but he persisted, stating, "Well, it doesn't appear that way." I chose to disregard this statement in order to prevent any power struggle or further conflict. Nevertheless, he persisted, asserting, "Because if you're not, I have no issue offering you a refund," within earshot of the entire group. In an attempt to distance ourselves from this intimidation, my friends and I moved to the rear of the group, hoping that the situation would eventually improve. Unfortunately, this was not the case. After some time, the guide slowed his pace, turned around, and posed the question once more, "Have you decided to continue or would you prefer a refund? I want you to be here, but if you don't wish to stay, you don't have to." Once more, we chose to disregard these attempts at intimidation, primarily to ensure that one of our friends, who was genuinely enthusiastic about the tour, could continue to enjoy the experience. Thankfully, the tour guide eventually refocused on the tour itself, ceasing his unwarranted harassment. This behavior was both disappointing and inappropriate. Had the guide felt the need to address our situation, we would have been more than willing to engage in a private and discreet conversation, ensuring a more positive experience for both him and our group. In the future, we hope that he can express any frustrations or grievances in a manner that is respectful and appropriate, rather than resorting to intimidation or personal attacks. It is imperative to recognize that individuals may have personal circumstances unrelated to the tour's proceedings. As we understand the significance of punctuality for such events, we diligently adhered to the instructions provided to us and arrived promptly.

Please note, we honor all guests that communicate with us appropriately and arrive on time. They are our priority. Late comers will be turned away if they effect the tour schedule. It is a timed event. The Real Situation: The guest and her group arrived early but sat in their car watching all the other guests get ready for the tour. They did not get out of their car until the other guests were fully setup and ready to go. They then started to slowly get ready well the rest of the group watched them. The group was visibly annoyed. The guide had to step in because of this. The group was intentionally making the tour late to see the sunset. The guide had to offer them a refund if they were not able to setup on time. The tour has clear directions to arrive 10mins prior to depature. Being intentionally late well watching the rest of the group setting up is disrespectful to the group. They did not just show up a bit late in a rush. They watched all the other group members setup and than came over and started to slowly get items from their car. The other guests were visibly annoyed. The guide stepped in and made everyone happy and was able to allow the group to join. The guest could have made the choice not to go and get a refund. Instead they came on the tour and Nicole_H acted offended that she offered a refund for being late. Her group was happy and enjoyed the tour, they even came to the guide after asking for local tips and information. We were happy to share with them! Read the tour description about season sunset depature times. Communicate appropriately. Arrive on time. Enjoy a fun, safe, and unique experience with our small family company!

Fun and unique experience

Michelle_H, Okt. 2023

This was one of the main highlights of two weeks in Canada. I absolutely recommend doing this if you are looking for something exciting and unique. Jacob was so informative and he made us feel safe despite the potential for all sorts of wildlife! We had a perfectly clear sky to see shooting stars, the Milky Way and got some great photos. I feel so lucky to have had this experience :) Make sure to take note of the clear communication on timings from Jacob and do not listen to Viator's persistent notifications that it starts at 9pm, it did not and we were lucky not to miss the tour!

great first impression to Banff

J_E, Sept. 2023

This was an awesome experience! Our guide contacted us beforehand and amended the time and path to give us the best experience. Very knowledgeable and kept cracking dad.. ahem "guide" jokes. Very funny, very fun time. Highly recommend!

Banff trek to the stars

Rhonda_G, Sept. 2023

Jacob was incredibly insightful and provided a funny, interesting, and educational experience. We were extremely lucky to have a perfect evening to enjoy the sunset, the views within the valleys and the mountains, and then a breathtaking array of stars across the night sky.

Guide was very...

Stephanie_T, Juli 2023

Guide was very knowledgable of the area and how to stay safe if we encountered wildlife. Very cool experience to be out in the mountains after dark.

Amazing

Julie_F, Juni 2023

Jacob was funny, friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was unique and beautiful. The skies were gorgeous. Highly recommend

Antwort des Veranstalters, Juli 2023

Thank you!

An amazing start to our honeymoon!

Nicole_F, Mai 2023

This walking tour was absolutely amazing. It was the first night of our honeymoon and it was a great way to start off our trip. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was cool to hear that this is a small family business. We got super lucky with the weather and had clear skies. It was a very manageable group size and we felt safe, even out in the darkness. Hiking boots are ideal as some of the path is uneven ground, but nothing crazy. I highly recommend this tour!

Antwort des Veranstalters, Mai 2023

We wish you both all the best!

Awesome Guide

Thank you! Jacob really appreciates these reviews! It was a pleasure to meet you.

Wow! Beautiful nature with a touch of exciting adventure!

Taylor_E, Feb. 2023

AMAZING!!! The perfect blend of adventure and just absolute beauty! The walk is not difficult, the views are amazing, and it’s an incredible 2 hours spent in nature at a time you’ve never been able to see it at before safely! Jacob was an amazing guide, made us feel very safe, and his passion really added to the experience! 10/10 would recommend!!

This hike was amazing!...

Emma_G, Jan. 2023

This hike was amazing! Great guide with fun stories! I would 100% do this hike again! We were able to see so many beautiful angles of the Aurora and the mountains at night are so incredible!

Star gazing doesn't sum it up!

Cheri_D, Okt. 2022

The amount of stars you can see here was amazing. Being from the city you just never fully realize how many there actually are. We were thrilled to see the Milky Way and a shooting star. Our guide, Jacob, was very knowledgeable and entertaining with his funny stories and lots of jokes. It was nice to hear all the laughter through the stillness of the dark. This is a tour very much worth taking.

Amazing experience

Teresa_B, Okt. 2022

Jacob made our tour amazing . I would highly recommend! We even saw two moose ! Thank you thank you!!!! When we visit again I would do this again! Teresa Banares

Amazing

Claudia_B, Sept. 2022

Pros: 1. Uh the fact that your stargazing in Canada should be enough of a pro to book 2. The stars are you are absolutely insane, if you want to remember how big our galaxy is please book this now. 3. Jacob our tour guide was an amazing man. He made my family and I feel safe. He knew what he was talking about and is extremely experienced. He was the master of ‘dad jokes’ (this should be a con but some of them were funny). Hopefully you get him as your guide! 4. It was extremely beautiful Con: 1. The dad jokes (jk) Tips: be prepared to take a 1 hour ish walk. If you are going in late September take some warm clothing. Have fun!

Great fun experience

Jane_D, Aug. 2022

Great fun night activity. Nice watching the sunset and the mountains and trees silhouetted against the deep blue/black sky. Continued our walk until it was completely dark and our eyes had adjusted, then started stargazing- so many stars! We saw several shooting stars and finally the Milky Way, which was stunning. We had plenty of time to watch the stars. Guide was fun and told spooky campfire stories, which made our group very close when walking! Exhilarating feeling being out on a trail in the Rockies in the pitch dark. Yes there were bugs, but no problem, just wear long sleeves and long trousers. We were given a lift back to our hotel at midnight, which was really appreciated. All in all a great experience to remember.

Must try tour

Evelyn_E, Aug. 2022

Jacob our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He was very good and made sure that the whole group was satisfied. Answered all questions and made sure we understood the information.

Sadly no stars for us but an informative tour

Ann_T, Aug. 2022

We went in July and were warned about the bugs beforehand. There were lots of bugs but we were given handheld devices to help warn them off. Even though the weather wasn't better I wouldn't want to cancel as we had a schedule and had planned the day/ evening around this tour. Sadly we didn't see any stars nor really the sunset as it was cloudy. Obviously this can't be helped but I did think the guide could have perhaps mentioned this and what we would do instead...or maybe the tour should be renamed 'night hike with head lamps' - then it's nice and general. It was quite a long walk - 2 hours but fun in the dark and we explored the same area another day on a horse ride.

Great experience!

Meaghan_L, Aug. 2022

The weather was perfect. The tour guide was entertaining and informative. There were mosquitoes but bug spray took care of that. And some handheld devices were provided to help keep them away. I was able to get some amazing photos. Particularly silhouettes of the trees on the water. I really enjoyed the night hike.
