We had such a lovely time on the Townie Tour with Nova as our guide. Would definitely recommend for a relaxing trip down the river.

Did a multi day trip with Canmore raft tours and a big group of guys. We were all blown away by the value for the cost. The guides are all great, easy going and super knowledgeable. But the true highlight of the trip was the food! Every meal was so thought out and delicious, I am amazed that food like this could be prepped and cooked at a river camp.
Everyone in the company is so accommodating and they are a true pleasure to deal with.
Thanks Chris, Erin, Gregg & Riley!

Thanks to Ben, Nova and the rest of the team for making our day relaxing and enjoyable. If you're looking to spend about 1 hour just chilling and casually floating down the river whilst being provided information about the area, I highly recommend this tour for you.
Don't worry no white water rapids.
Definitely going to do it again.

Fantastic tour - really great way to get a different perspective of the area and the mountains from the Bow River! Reese was a great guide, giving us tons of information and providing a very smooth ride down the river.
