Who We Are?
Explore Banff Tours & Transfers was founded in early 2023 by Australian expat Josh Smith, following the birth of his "Can-stralian" son. Josh had long thought about starting a tour company, but with travel in his veins, it took years of travelling the world to find his 'forever home' in the Rocky Mountains to establish a tour business.
As a team of avid outdoor adventurers, we are always more than happy to share our extensive local knowledge, any recent recommendations and insider tips to ensure you make the most out of your time in the beautiful Canadian Rockies!
