What are people saying about Banff

Banff: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle | Limited Time Offer!

Alyssa_H, Sep 2026

Easy way to see the lakes with 1.5 hours at each!

The explorer bus is a great convenient way to see the lakes without worrying about bus schedules and waiting in line to catch one. Our driver Red was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The one thing to remember is you get 1.5 hours at each lake: this is perfect for a short hike up to lookout points and lots of photo ops, but if you want to take an extended hike or simply more time to enjoy, this one is not for you.

5/5 - Amazing Day

Today’s tour to Peyto Lake and the Columbia Icefield was easily one of the highlights of my trip. The mountain views were stunning, and we even got fresh snow, which made the landscapes look unreal. A huge shoutout to Gary, our tour guide, who was top-notch—engaging, helpful, and full of great insights throughout the entire day. Don't hesitate to book this tour!

Great trip

Great last second booking. Booked the morning of. Driver (name started with an S) was really good. There was a couple that made us delayed 3 different times. Overall delay was an hour combined. They need to be more strict with people or be willing to leave them behind. Bring cash for tips too as driver didn’t have digital methods to tip.

8 iconic hours with Kieran at the 8 iconic Banff stops

Kieran was a fantastic guide. He gave a tremendous historical background of the area and its peoples. He knew what order of stops to take to avoid the crowds and waiting. He always had suggestions about where to go and what to look out for. We had wonderful time seeing the 8 different stops. Highly reccomend this trip since we could sit back in comfort and not hassle with parking and the Mercedes van was very comfortable and roomy. It was a top notch tour that worked well for all ages.

A wonderful day out exploring the most beautiful scenery

A full day of amazing sightseeing. 5 different lakes visited, all stunning and because we were a tour there were no delays with parking. Plenty of time allowed at each stop and our guide was very attentive explaining everything we needed to know. He also came with us to certain areas and was happy to take pics. Thoroughly recommended.

Fantastic trip

The Rocky Mountain tour with our guide, Steve, was fantastic! He pointed out beautiful viewpoints along the way and shared the interesting stories behind them in a really engaging way. The amount of time we spent at each stop was perfect. When my phone battery was running low, he kindly lent me a cable and even plugged it in for me, showing me where the hidden ports were on the bus. His consistently positive and friendly attitude made the whole experience so enjoyable, despite the unpredictable weather. Thank you so much, Steve!

Fantastic day out

We had a brilliant day. Aashish our driver was fun freindly and very knowledgeable. He got us joining in and laughing and there was a really good atmosphere within the group. The places we saw were breathtaking and it was such a comfortable and relaxed day knowing we were being taken care of. We got to see and do so much on this trip and would highly recommend it. A very special day.

Majestic!

This trip was perfect for getting to experience this area of the Rockies. The view is exactly as shown on the website. Scott our tour guide was very knowledgeable. I like the fact that he provided walkie talkies to stay in contact with him. Dressing in layers would be a good idea and comfortable walking shoes are essential. Getting to see Lake Moraine from the top is spectacular but somewhat challenging if someone has mobility issues. I definitely would recommend this tour.

Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Barbara_V, Sep 2026

Highly recommend!

Easy drive from Banff. Wonderful, spectacular views. Loved the Minnewanka moment of silence. Tho would have like a bit more. We were lucky enough to hear a loon! Saw an eagle bur no other wildlife. Stopped at Two Jack and Johnson lakes driving back to banff. Matt and Vik did a great job. Thanks to Vik for suggesting sunshine gondola! We loved it.
