The tour was very well organized, and we were able to visit some of the most beautiful places in the region, including Banff Town, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, Natural Bridge, and Yoho National Park. A special thank you to our guide, CW, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the area. He shared interesting facts about the Rockies, local wildlife, and the history of the region while keeping the tour engaging and enjoyable throughout the day. He also made sure everyone had enough time at each stop for photos and sightseeing. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and having transportation and logistics taken care of allowed us to fully enjoy the experience without any stress. Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake were particular highlights for us. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Banff and looking to see some of the most iconic sights in the Canadian Rockies in a single day. Thank you, CW and Rockies Journey, for an unforgettable experience! 🏔️💙✨

Badlands Guided Small Group Tour: Calgary to Drumheller Dinosaurs

Regina_C, Jun 2026

Fun Drumheller Tour With Plenty of Flexibility

Raj was such an awesome tour guide. He was very informative about each sight, then dropped us off at each one and let us explore independently. I really appreciated the structure of the tour. There is a good amount of flexibility in choosing which sights to be visited so that every group member could be satisfied. Raj would drive back and forth to the minor sights and the museum so that everyone could choose what they wanted. The only critique I have is the stop at the World's Largest Dinosaur, which is purely tacky, but I guess it's popular enough for others to warrant a visit. We wanted to stay longer at the Royal Tyrell Museum, and we were able to choose the full 3 hour visit there instead of the other minor optional visits. Every other tour company offers you less time there, which is why I chose them in the first place. If you want to linger at the museum longer, book this tour!

Really enjoyed the tour,...

Really enjoyed the tour, bus driver Louis is very knowledgeable about the area. Bus was small 12 seater which is ok for fit people. Places we visited were excellent. BUT we were told by the bus driver that LAKE EMERALD was completely frozen so we were given a choice to go or see the natural ARCH. We found out the next 26/5/26 that the lake has been unfrozen since 11/5/26, so this was disappointing.

Explore Moraine Lake and Lake Louise — A Half Day Tour

Susan_B, Oct 2025

Transportation not Tour

This is transportation to Lake Louise with 1.5 hr drop off and then to Morraine Lake for 1.5 dropoff. Then back to pick up site. Our driver gave great info on the way as well as some information about the trails. He was very well spoken. This package was what we were looking for. If you want to stop at Lake Louise Village, choose a different one.
