Private VIP Luxury Banff / Lake Louise Day Tour from Calgary
Overview
This isn't a shuttle with a driver. It's a private day in the Rockies with a local host who plans it around you.
Your guide, Asad, founder of Calgary Premier Transport, personally drives and hosts every tour in a black Mercedes E-Class with leather seats and all-wheel drive. It seats up to four, and is most comfortable for two or three.
Before your trip, Asad sets up a video call to build your itinerary together: scenic viewpoints, easy strolls, a real hike, the gondola, a boat cruise, or lunch in Banff. Your day is shaped around you, not a fixed checklist.
We book your gondola tickets, boat cruise, and restaurant reservations ahead of time, pick you up from your door anywhere in Calgary, and bring snacks, coffee, and tea for your group. Child seats available.
Asad is happy to walk the trails with you and take photos so everyone is in the picture. No rushing from stop to stop, just a calm, well-planned day at your own pace.
