Top Banff Day Trips - page 14

The tour to the lakes was a great tour and lasted just the right amount of time. Our tour guide, Red, was awesome. He was very knowledgeable, and if he didn't know an answer, was willing to find out. He was humorous and made the trip very fun. Plus, he knows everyone! I would recommend this tour to other Banff visitors.

We had a great tour guide/driver, Mark. Very accommodating, great person. We had a small van, full, held 14 people which makes for a very personable tour - you get to know other people, or at least familiar faces and good guide interactions then as well. It becomes more personable and also accommodating. We saw alot of places. The thing with a tour is, everything is fast paced. Even if you stop at a spot for 50 minutes, you have to account for washroom breaks/line ups and times to get to attractions like walking to lodges or lake views and then getting back to the vehicle ON TIME, respecting the tour itinerary and everyone else on the tour, so the day goes by so quickly. It's like a whirlwind. Our tour said 8-11 hours long and it went from 7:30am until 6pm. So quickly though. Many times not enough time to see everything or take everything in because of much needed washroom breaks but still, a great tour. Recommend for sure. Please don't forget to tip your driver/guide as so many do not and they deserve it for all that they do, maneuvering through tricky, full, parking lots, and lots of safe driving etc. Especially for the long days.

This is an easy and convenient way to hit the most scenic lakes in Banff. The bus is comfortable and our guide, Lisa, was delightful. She was organized and knowledgable and switched easily between English and Chinese. Lisa pointed out the best views for photos and gave us plenty time at each stop. This is a must for your visit to Banff.
