Breathtaking view
We had an incredible experience with Into the Wilds on their Sunrise Moraine Lake & Lake Louise tour. As first-time visitors to Banff, we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the Canadian Rockies.
A huge thank you to Francis, who went above and beyond to make our tour unforgettable. He was incredibly accommodating and made sure all of our needs were taken care of throughout the trip. Beyond being a great guide, he shared fascinating insights about Banff’s geology, wildlife, and history, which made us appreciate the landscapes even more.
Francis also knew all the best photo spots at Moraine Lake and gave us excellent tips on where to capture the most breathtaking views before the crowds arrived. Those recommendations made a huge difference, and we came home with amazing memories and photos.
If you’re visiting Banff for the first time, I highly recommend booking with Into the Wilds. Watching the sunrise over Moraine Lake and experiencing the beauty of Lake Louise was truly breathtaking, and having such a knowledgeable and friendly guide made the experience even more special. Thank you, Francis, for an unforgettable morning!

Banff July 2026 Fantastic
This is an absolute great trip to see all of the major sightseeing places around Banff.
Gary was great at getting us to main entrances all of the time...which was good as we had some ailing walkers.
I was thinking of driving to these sites in a car...there is no way we'd get parking close to where the tour busses drop us off. In some cases the parking for cars is 2km away.
You will also need to know that while the walks are not overly stressful, if you are not used to longer walks or have ok cardio then this may be a bit much to see the best parts of the sites. Some places are an easy walk, while others like the canyon walk are about 1.5 kms going up and down hilly areas.
Overall amazing day that I'm sure all would enjoy.

Beautiful Lakes
The four lakes of Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Peyto Lake are amazingly beautiful! I and my two companions enjoyed this whole day excursion and do recommend it to others. Ray, our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the surrounding areas. Ray is just excellent!

Perfect night
This was a great experience! Our guide Toby was super nice and knowledgeable! Pick up was easy at the Banff train station. It was about a 90 min drive up to the lake via Bow valley parkway (the old highway up) where we stopped at a beautiful curve with a train and mountains in the background. We saw two black bears and an Elk on the road! Once we got to the lake we walked around the lake a bit. It was so serene and quiet. We then made our way up the huge rock pile by the lake to stare gaze, there are stairs so it was easy to get up. We had time to explore the area a bit before we settled in. We were provided chairs, blankets and a hot drink! It was overcast so not much of a sunset and saw few stars but it was still phenomenal. It did get pretty cold but not unmanageable. Wear layers!! Hat/gloves etc. We brought an extra blanket and they do provide hand warmers. We got back to the train station at 1:50 am so it was a long night. But it was such a great way to experience Moraine Lake

A great day!
Money well spent. Our guide for the day, “Mr. G”, was great. Very polite and attentive to our comfort in the vehicle and very informative on all of our stops. We saw way more than we would’ve been able to driving on our own and for the price, this service is well worth it. Only small downsides was the van we were in wasn’t the cleanest (had some “leftover” trash from previous guests) and the music he played while we traveled wasn’t exactly a fit for the demographic of the van but those were small inconveniences.

Exceptional tour
We had an amazing experience with Rockies Journey, guided by Boyd. This tour exceeded all expectations and left me with memories I’ll treasure for a lifetime. Boyd went above and beyond to ensure we felt relaxed, welcome, and at ease throughout the day. His warmth and attentiveness made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable, from start to finish. He shared practical tips that enhanced our experience, helping us navigate viewpoints and photo spots.. Boyd also shared fascinating insights about the areas we visited, enriching our understanding of the landscapes.
Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, and Lake Emerald are truly spectacular. Each stop offered its own unique beauty, and Boyd’s guidance helped us appreciate them more deeply. It felt like a dream come true to witness these iconic sights up close. The itinerary was well-balanced, with enough time at each lake to soak it all in without feeling rushed. The transportation, pacing, and safety considerations were top-notch.
If you’re planning a trip to the Rockies, book with Rockies Journey and ask for Boyd. You’ll be in capable hands and come away with not just beautiful photos, but cherished memories and a sense of real wonder. Highly recommend—five stars! ~Elise R

Amazing Tour of Jasper with an amazing driver & guide Ray
My recent tour through the Canadian Rockies was truly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From the stunning turquoise waters of Peyto Lake and Bow Lake to the powerful beauty of Athabasca Falls, Sunwapta Falls, and the magnificent Athabasca Glacier, every stop was absolutely breathtaking.
What made this journey even more special was our driver and tour guide, Ray. He was not only an excellent driver who made us feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire trip, but he was also incredibly knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and accommodating. Ray went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a fantastic experience, sharing interesting facts about the Rockies, recommending the best photo spots, and making sure we had enough time to fully enjoy each destination.
His passion for showcasing the beauty of the Canadian Rockies was evident in every part of the tour. Whether navigating the scenic mountain roads or helping us capture unforgettable memories, Ray's dedication and enthusiasm made a significant difference in our overall experience.
The landscapes of the Canadian Rockies are world-class, but having a guide like Ray elevated the trip from amazing to exceptional. If you're planning a Rockies tour, I highly recommend choosing one with Ray as your driver and guide. You will not only see some of the most beautiful places on Earth but also enjoy the journey with someone who genuinely cares about providing an outstanding experience.
Thank you, Ray, for making our Rockies adventure unforgettable. Your professionalism, kindness, and expertise truly made this trip one for the books!

We had an unforgettable...
We had an unforgettable trip with Ram. The whole tour was about 14 hours long, so it was definitely tiring, but it was absolutely worth it. The scenery was stunning, and it felt like a once-in-a-lifetime family experience. Ram was very friendly, patient, and thoughtful throughout the day. We were very happy with his service and really appreciated everything he did for us.

It was a wonderful...
It was a wonderful experience beyond our imagination as our guide Naveen took us through the mountains to explore various sights. He was very detailed with the stories surrounding the natural marvels and even though he was driving, kept pointing out the lovely creatures we could have missed. He ensured we were comfortable all through the journey. We look forward to another experience as this.

Tour to Lakes with unknown weather
Ken was a great guide and took care of us. We had a full van and picked us up at the scheduled time and place. We could have never anticipated the weather would turn cold and snowy overnight but it did make for a beautiful landscape with the fresh snow. It took about 45 minutes to arrive at Lake Louise and it was crowded but the Lake and the snowy conditions made for a beautiful vision. Ken gave us about 75 minutes to tour the area. When we got ready to leave and head to Lake Louise. Unfortunately when we got to the road we were told it was closed due to the weather and a trapped bus up the road. With a quick call to dispatch, we were told the tour had to be canceled and they would refund half the cost. While we were disappointed we have to commend Ken and the company for making Lemonade out of lemons. Overall good tour and fair consideration.

Breath taking Views
It was amazing, from the beginning Jumper Tours has been really accommodating. They even switched our tour dates due to a cloudy day. And the tour itself was great, breath taking views and not to mention Ozzy our great and friendly driver. I would definitely do it again!! Five stars easy!
