Meet Erin – Founder/ Tour Guide
Hometown : Canmore, AB
My name is Erin and I am the founder of Rocky Mountain Food and Walking Tours. I have lived most of my life in Alberta and I am excited to tour you around beautiful Banff and Canmore! I started working in the tourism industry 25 years ago, but over the years I’ve also worked in health care and at a university. In 2022, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and it changed my whole perspective on life! In 2023, I decided to live life to the fullest and I took my son on a year-long adventure around the world. We went on hundreds (yes, hundreds!) of guided tours and it made me realize just how much I love the tourism industry. And that’s how Rocky Mountain Food and Walking Tours was born! If you want to hear more about my story, please click on the link below. I’ve hired the most fun, informative and welcoming team of tour guides and we can’t wait to meet you!
