I am an accomplished outdoor enthusiast and world traveller who has explored much of Canada, Asia, South America, Central America and New Zealand. At 25ish countries and counting I am always looking for new adventures and new people to share adventures with, whether it be by road or on foot. With more than 20 years of experience here in the Canadian Rockies I have a passion for the mountains and like nothing more than sharing that passion with others. I practice Leave No Trace ethics and it is my goal to foster a better appreciation and understanding of our natural environment by connecting people to the history and the landscape. My good nature and sense of humour make me an easy travelling companion on long and short trips alike. I am certified by the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides, the Interpretive Guides Association and the Outdoor Council of Canada. I also have an Advanced Wilderness First Aid Certification. Business Licences and Proof of Commercial Liability Insurance for all advertised Activities and Tour areas are available. I am continuously adding to my skills, experience and knowledge. For any and all trips I put the safety and enjoyment of my guests first. Transportation is included and recommendations can be made about local dining, accommodations, other activities and facilities. Requests for larger groups can be accommodated. Please bear with me as I am often away from internet and cell reception. I look forward to connecting with you as soon as possible.

We loved our tour of Banff with Greg. We saw some beautiful scenic areas around Banff. Greg started by locating some beautiful elk for us up close then off to Minnewanka Loop with a beautiful hour cruise on the lake. It was the perfect setting and amount of time to be on the Lake. Greg took us to many more beautiful places to enjoy the outdoors and marvel at the beauty surrounding us. We had a great lunch in a local spot that was so interesting with great food and a beautiful view. He supplied us with great stories and history. We were never rushed but enjoyed so many sites and viewpoints. We highly recommend calling Greg when you are in the area and let him guide you and enhance your trip. Thank you Greg!

Our guide Greg was knowledgeable, friendly and considerate of the groups needs. The tour he provided was extensive and captured the culture and community of Banff along with the stunning scenery. We highly recommend using Greg if you are considering a local tour.

Greg was an exceptional tour guide. He was knowledgeable, provided many suggestions and options, and was a joy to travel with through and around Banff. I highly recommend Greg and would gladly hire him when we return to Banff and Calgary. And we plan to return soon.

Nice tour, pleasant guide, and the day went pretty well. We couldn’t stop at Johnston Canyon because too crowded but Marble Canyon was beautiful. Greg showed us some beautiful lakes, stops for pictures and such and shared his knowledge of hiking with us. Thank you for a nice day!

Greg was fantastic! He was able to rework his tour to accommodate my wife that has mobility issues. We had a wonderful tour with limited walking. We still saw all the wonders of Banff. Highly Recommend!

Your Banff tour itinerary

I will meet you at your hotel for a quick safety briefing and to review and sign waivers before departing. We will be visiting all of the scenic areas surrounding the town of Banff. This includes the Cave and Basin National Historic Site, the Lake Minnewanka loop including Two Jack Lake, the Green Spot viewpoint and the Vermillion Lakes. Hopefully some of the local wildlife will make an appearance for us. Along the way I will introduce you to the history, legends and lore of the area and help you take some great photos! At the end of the tour you will be returned to your hotel or other location of your choosing.
