Private and Customizable Transport Airport Pickups and Drop Offs

Traveling through the Canadian Rockies can be an adventure in itself—stunning scenery, wildlife, and mountain vistas await around every bend. If you’re arriving or departing from Banff and want a hassle-free, private way to get where you’re going, Sheridan’s Travel and Tour offers a private, customizable transport service that might be just what you need. While I haven’t personally taken this ride, I’ve gathered plenty of details to help you decide if it fits your needs.

What immediately stands out about this experience is the brand-new 2025 Toyota Sienna with room for up to seven passengers. The flexibility it offers—such as choosing stops for sightseeing, bathroom breaks, or quick shopping—means you get a tailored journey, not just a generic ride. Plus, the private nature means you’ll avoid crowded shuttles or buses, making it ideal for families or small groups seeking comfort and control.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that pricing, at just under $300 for a group of up to seven, offers good value for the privacy and convenience, but it’s a flat rate that might seem steep for solo travelers or very short trips. This service is perfect for those who value comfort, flexibility, and a personalized touch, especially if you’re arriving into Banff or heading out towards Calgary.

An In-Depth Look at the Experience

The Ride: Comfort and Flexibility

The Toyota Sienna used for this service is a significant highlight. As a brand-new vehicle, it promises a smooth, quiet ride—an important factor when traveling through scenic but sometimes bumpy mountain roads. With up to 8 seats, it comfortably accommodates families, small groups, or couples traveling together, providing ample space for luggage or gear.

What makes this service stand out is its customizability. Instead of a fixed schedule or route, the driver (or guide) works with you to determine stops. Whether you want to break for a quick shopping trip, find a restroom, or pause at a particularly stunning vista, this flexibility can turn a simple transfer into a memorable part of your trip.

Meeting Points and Convenience

Your journey begins at the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff, a well-known central location perfect for travelers staying nearby. If you’re arriving into Calgary, the drop-off point is at 15 Aberdare Way NE, making it convenient for those heading to the city or airport.

The service’s proximity to public transportation also adds to its appeal—if you arrive by bus or train, this private transfer can be easily coordinated, reducing stress and travel time. Since it’s only you and your group, you won’t have to worry about sharing space or timing with strangers.

Price and Value

At $295.72 for up to 7 people, this transport service offers a fair price considering the privacy and customization. When you divide the cost among a small group, it becomes quite economical compared to individual taxis or ride-shares, especially in a remote and scenic area like Banff.

Travelers might find that the ability to stop along the route—perhaps to take photos of Lake Louise or Moraine Lake—is worth paying a little extra, as it allows you to tailor the experience. The flat rate also simplifies planning—no surprises or meter ticking up during your journey.

Who Will Love This Service?

If you’re traveling with family, a small group of friends, or a romantic getaway, this private transfer offers comfort, flexibility, and a personal touch. It’s especially suited for those who appreciate a scenic, stress-free start or end to their day in the Rockies.

Why This Transport Works for You

First, the private nature of the service ensures you’re not crammed into a bus with strangers, which can be particularly appealing after a long flight or a busy day. It’s also perfect for those with specific schedules or plans—say, catching an early flight or arriving late at night.

Second, the ability to request stops transforms a simple transfer into an experience. Instead of just getting from point A to B, you can pause at a lookout, visit a quick shop, or enjoy a scenic moment, making your journey more memorable.

Third, the modern, well-maintained 2025 Toyota Sienna provides peace of mind. You’ll travel comfortably and safely, with reliable transportation that’s new and equipped with modern amenities.

However, the main consideration is the cost—while it offers excellent value for groups, solo travelers or those on tight budgets might find it a bit pricier than other options. Still, what you gain—privacy, flexibility, and comfort—can easily outweigh the extra expense.

Final Thoughts

This private, customizable transfer service from Sheridan’s Travel and Tour is well-suited for travelers who want a seamless, private ride with the added bonus of flexible stops. It’s particularly appealing if you value comfort and control over your journey and are traveling with a small group seeking a stress-free experience.

The ability to tailor your trip, combined with a brand-new vehicle and convenient meeting points, makes this a solid choice for those arriving or leaving Banff, especially if scenic stops or quick errands are on your wish list. It’s not the cheapest option out there, but when you factor in the comfort, privacy, and personalized service, it delivers good value.

For anyone who appreciates a hassle-free, scenic, and flexible transfer through the Rockies, this service is worth considering—especially if you’re traveling as a small group who wants to make the most of every moment.
