⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Lisa
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide, Lisa! She was incredibly jolly, friendly, and knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. She shared so many interesting facts and stories, making every stop more meaningful and enjoyable. Her positive energy and enthusiasm made everyone feel welcome and engaged. Lisa truly went above and beyond to make our tour extra special. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend touring with her! Thank you, Lisa, for such a memorable experience! 😊

We had an incredible experience visiting Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and a huge part of that was our guide, Jesse.
From the moment we met him, Jesse was friendly, personable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. His knowledge of the area, its history, and the best viewpoints made the trip so much more than just a shuttle ride. He knew exactly where to take us for the most stunning photos while helping us avoid as much of the crowds as possible, which made a huge difference.
The day was exceptionally well organized. We arrived early, stayed on a well-managed schedule without ever feeling rushed, and had plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy each stop. It was clear that Jesse knows these locations inside and out and takes pride in giving his guests the best possible experience.
If you're planning a trip to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, we highly recommend booking this tour - and if you have the opportunity to request Jesse as your guide, do it. He made an already spectacular destination even more memorable.

The area was easy to find and but parking was a little different to find.
The driver was great and very professional and helpful and we are looking forward to using the company again when we have visitors coming to Canada and going to namff again
Thank you and looking forward to seeing you again

Stunning Lakes and Nature
This is an iconic 11.5 hour day seeing the most beautiful lakes in Banff National Park! We also hiked to waterfalls and to see glaciers. Our Indian guide was great (I forgot his name-sorry)and gave us a wonderful experience throughout the day. It was much better to leave the driving to him and have no worries about parking! We had a great group of 12 from the UK, Filippines, Australia and the USA.

Hot spots in Banff
We just spent the most perfect day with our tour guide Mark in Banff. Mark took us to all the hotspots and best picture places in the park. He even took all the photos for us. He was a patient, knowledgeable and energetic tour guide and we just had the most perfect day. Don’t hesitate to book this tour and definitely ask for Mark as your tour guide!

Moraine Lake
If you really want to go to Moraine and see that breathtaking view, this is an easy way ( it is pretty much impossibleto get the cheaperoptions now). Easy to book, and the driver was very kind and nice. You will pay more money, but it's worth it; there won't be any regrets when you see the beauty of the lake.

Really enjoyed the boat ride, especially since we were on a smaller boat, not a large tourist boat. Our naturalist was very dynamic and a wealth of information. Since it was clam waters, they turned off the engines when we got to the back country and had us all be still for a minute just to hear the stillness.

Great tour! The time at...
Great tour! The time at each stop was short but totally understandable due to the driving distance between stops and the distance from the pickup spot. Such a great way to see the major Banff tourist spots like Lake Louise and Emerald Lake without having to worry about waking up at the crack of dawn to get parking!! Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and was happy to answer questions.

Our family had a wonderful time touring the lakes and Banff! We were in a van with 14 people, and our tour guide, Tammy, did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable about the lakes and the surrounding area, and she also helped take photos of our group, which we really appreciated. It was a fun and memorable experience for everyone.

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.
