Don’t miss this tour!
It was great! You travel to Lake Louise, Lake Morraine and Peyto Lake—all three were beautiful beyond words. The other stops were also spectacular! Kieran coordinated for pickup at our residence the night before and was there in the morning right on time. He explained our itinerary for the day and answered all questions we asked him. He was very informative throughout the day and provided us with details about every stop. His driving was excellent—very safe and conscientious.
Kieran made a great trip even more enjoyable and was very interactive with all the passengers. He is a super tour guide and exhibits a lot of professionalism. I highly recommend this tour!

Jackie was fantastic!
We booked with Viator and Rockies Journey for the Lake Louise and Moraine Lake Tour. Our guide was Jackie and he was fantastic! He made sure we were all safe, knew where we were going, and had very interesting information. Would highly recommend this tour company and this tour guide!

Perfect Ending
What a tour! I didn't know what to expect going in, but I can confidently say I would do it again in a heartbeat. Aidan was an incredible guide, knowledgeable, funny, and patient throughout the entire experience. He took the time to teach us how to take better photos with our phones at night, explained everything we were seeing, and made the tour both informative and entertaining.
We were fortunate to have a beautifully clear night, which made the experience even more memorable. I truly couldn't have asked for a better way to end my trip. Highly recommend this tour, and if you get Aidan as your guide, you're in for a fantastic experience!

Lake Louise Moraine, Johnston Canyon
Asheesh was an excellent driver and host. He was very personable and took pictures for people. He kept us on schedule perfectly. One suggestion would be to inform patrons to go to Binto box at Lake Louise. They are much faster than a sit down restaurant and would alleviate feeling rushed to eat lunch.

Great day in Banff and Yoho National Parks
This tour was definitely worth it. Convenence of a comfortable bus ride from Canmore directly to the main sights and back. No driving, no hassles with parking--especially as crowds at Moraine and Louise were huge. Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, Lakes Moraine and Louise plus a stop for lunch. Altogether 8 hours. Our guide, Martin, was excellent.

Easy trip no parking...
Easy trip no parking hassle. Allowed plenty of time to see the two beautiful lakes. Would need more time to explore area throughly but this is a great first glance orientation. Both lakes are worth visiting. The bus commentary was just enough information and made the ride go quicker. Our driver Dennis was great!

Absolutely worth it!
Great tour! Many stops, got all the big must haves covered, we didn’t have to think of anything.
Our tour guide Ahmed was one of a kind! So nice and funny - he made sure the trip and drive in between stops didn’t get boring! Great guy! Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!

Good tour
Good experience. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky with an early sighting of a bear. Lots of long-horn sheep. And towards the end some elf from a distance and deer. The stopping spots and views were good regardless of whether we saw animals in all locations or not. I'd recommend taking the tour.

Views that you will not want to miss!
A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of the crowds.
