Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies, the town of Banff is located within the Banff National Park. Once “Siding 29” on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the town of Banff was intended to be a tourist town from its very inception. The park’s first superintendent, George Stewart, even oriented the town’s first street so that it offered the best possible view of Cascade Mountain. With easy access to pristine wilderness, outdoor adventures, jaw-dropping landscape, and a vibrant history, there are many places to visit in Banff and Lake Louise. Join a small group tour and visit Banff’s landmarks and historic places. The afternoon is free to explore Banff at your leisure; admission to the Banff Gondola is included - sore to the top of Sulphur Mountain for birds-eye-views of Banff and the surroundings.
