All the sights, all the comfort
Great day out seeing many of the sights around Banff. Kieran was great, knowledgeable, helpful and generally a nice guy. All the sights were amazing, and it was a top notch way to see many sights quickly if time is short, or to give an introduction, so you can choose where to go back to

We had a fabulous time on...
We had a fabulous time on our tour! Our tour guide, Steve, was incredibly knowledgeable, punctual, and courteous. He shared so much interesting information about the area and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the day. Our driver, Fish, was also excellent. We always felt safe and comfortable, and he got us to each destination safely and on time. Will definitely recommend this tour to friends looking for a trip to Banff!

We saw bears!!!!
Lots of beautiful scenery! Although they can't guarantee that you will see wildlife, our tour guide, Charlie, was on it! He had a network of other guides that all share wildlife sightings and Charlie didn't hesitate to go where there was a report of bears! We were able to see a mama black bear and her 3 cubs!! It was awesome!!

Amazing day! Highly recommend🤩♥️
We had such a great day on this tour! The views at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were absolutely beautiful. Everything was well organized and we had enough time to enjoy the places and take lots of photos.
Our driver Emma was really nice, friendly and helpful. She drove very safely and made the whole trip feel comfortable and easy. She was also happy to help and answer our questions.
We really enjoyed the whole day and were very happy with the tour. Definitely recommend it if you’re visiting Calgary, Canmore or Banff. Would 100% do it again! ❤️

Our tour guide, Quaid,...
Our tour guide, Quaid, was absolutely awesome! Seeing all of the lakes was great, but spending time learning from him and interacting with the other guests just took it to another level.
We would happily book another tour with Beyond Banff! They know their stuff and we had an absolutely awesome day!

Fantastic
Apple was our driver/guide and she did an excellent job. We were coming from Canmore and it took us longer than expected bc we had to stop and get a park pass, so plan accordingly. We were the last to arrive, parking at a premium at the train station in Banff, but Apple waited for us. She added some humorous words along the way and pointed out things along the way. She was very mindful of the group she was transporting. Going up to Moraine Lake she was watching out for everyone. I’m 70 y/o so it takes me longer to climb the rocks but she was there waiting for my husband and I at the top. Very willing to take pictures of us. Water and snacks waiting for us. Kudos to Apple. For us…the amount of time at the two lakes were perfect.

Lake Louise and Moraine
Fred , our driver was great in providing interesting information and guidance including safety tips. He was also helpful in taking a few wonderful photos of us. That was one of the most scenic and enjoyable bus trip we’ve had to Lake Louise and Moraine

Amazing Experience
We were concerned if the hike was canceled due to weather. Tried but COULD NOT get any response from the booking agent. Glad though we made it to the gathering point and it was a go. Tour guides Aiden and Ella were exceptional, knowledgeable, caring. Especially on how they reacted when came across with elks along the no-light trail. They made the hike Very Enjoyable. Will definitely do it again, hopefully not in a cloudy night.

Cruise Banff area
The view/Scenery is just amazing, we went during the 1st cruise time (9am) We got to enjoy the quiet time and truly enjoyed the lake and mountains! Pat and Emma are both wonderful. Very knowledgeable and great Captain!! Thank you both! Highly recommended.

Great tour!
Garry was a great guide! On time and very knowledgeable about the lakes and sights. Even did more stops due to a mix up with the company and advertising the same trip on get your guide and viator, as some had lake Louise and some didn’t. But not his fault and it was all sorted out. That should be fixed moving forward tho. Recommend for sure!

Recommend this Tour
The tour surpassed our expectations. Having Garry as our tour driver and guide made all the difference. We did not have to worry about driving or finding a parking place. Plus, Garry provided valuable information about the places we visited which made the tour more enjoyable. I would recommend taking this tour.

Highly recommend!
What a great experience, to see so many places in one day and not have to worry about driving or parking. Our guide was very nice and a great driver. We had plenty of time at each spot. Traveled with a 4 year old and he did great!
Couple of things to note: get to your pickup spot early especially if you are driving yourself there as parking fills up fast. We did our pick up at Canmore Visitor Center and since there are a lot of tours happening at the same time it’s kind of a cluster with parking and trying to find the right bus. Also the lunch stop is pretty hectic too so if I were to do this again I would pack my own lunch.
Overall a great day, we really lucked out as it was the last nice day of our trip due to the wildfire smoke that came through for the rest of it.
Highly recommend! Thanks for everything!

Banff day trips take you to the glacier-fed Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake, and to see impressive waterfalls and wildlife-rich valleys. Most tours include local guides, national park admission fees, and some offer meals or hot drinks. A day trip from Banff frees you up to fully immerse yourself in your mountain experience, whether you ice-hike through Johnston Canyon in winter or admire national park scenery in summer.
