Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours — Local services in Alberta

Last week a group of my friends and I took a bike trip with Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours (RMCT)- "The Best of the West" tour was the one we chose. I knew very little about this company prior to going on this trip and have been on multiple previous trips including with Trek Travel. Although I've always enjoyed the Trek trips, I'd rate the RMCT as superior. Etienne, the young owner, was with us the whole time and switched off between guiding us and driving the support van with a young woman guide, Michaela. They were both professional yet fun and organized an unforgetable trip through British Columbia. I am sure that the trip quality was enhanced by the presence of the owner for the entire trip!

The hotel choices were perfect for our group and the restaurants were chosen with the care of someone who really knew the area.

The individual rides were also well chosen and all of us (in our mid 60's) felt that we successfully participated in the rides.

The two staff members were very helpful throughout the trip, including helping one of us who broke their wrist, and made good decisions when the unexpected arose, such as the fracture and two smoke-filled days when we couldn't ride.

We hope to return soon for one of their...

We just returned from an incredible private multisport trip with Rocky Mountain Tours, guided by the fantastic duo, Etienne and Marek. As a family of five, we were excited about this adventure, and it definitely exceeded our expectations.

Etienne and Marek are true experts. They knew the area inside and out and shared some really interesting insights while also making sure everyone felt safe and engaged. They went out of their way to be accommodating, adjusting the itinerary to fit our interests and skill levels with ease. This thoughtful approach made it feel uniquely ours.

We spent our days hiking, cycling, and rafting, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains. Every moment outdoors was special, creating lasting memories for our family. It’s clear that Rocky Mountain Tours is committed to providing a top-notch experience. We enjoyed this trip so much that we're already planning our next adventure with them! If you’re looking to explore the outdoors, we can't recommend them highly enough. Big thanks to Etienne and Marek for making this experience truly unforgettable!

I absolutely loved my biking trip from Jasper to Banff. This is my very first 150+ miles ride over 5 days. I was the slowest cyclist in the group and guides were very patient and accommodating. Micheala and Emilie are fantastic guides.

My suggestion for those who want are going to try this tour: Make sure to stop at beautiful views, take a deep breath and take it all in. You are in the rockies not tour de france.

I cannot wait to go back for hiking and experience rockies even closer.

Here are my highlights: Mama bear with 2 cubs. I will never forget this. Medicine lake view with the valley. Peyto lake (dog/wolf shaped) (it's history) Athabasca Glacier. Ten peaks will take your breath away. Lunch by the bow lake while it was raining. It felt like a nice picnic. Ride back from Maligne lake to Jasper Inn. Mt Amery is my absolute favorite so far.

What a blessing to bike among giants (both mountains and...
