All Canmore Tours & Excursions in 2026

We booked the tour at a discount and it was great for the value even mandatory tips, $10/person, to our driver. Our driver, Young, picked us up on time and his driving was smooth and safe. His communication was clear on trip duration and return location and time. He gave us good tips on various viewpoints for Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. He was also informative about the lakes. We enjoyed our tour.

This was such a great experience! Our driver, Daman, was so kind and professional. He was so helpful and provided great advice and photo taking skills! It was so nice to have someone drive us from Calgary to Jasper. We originally were going to drive ourselves, but then we realized that there was no cell phone service anywhere on the freeway and as two millennials that rely on our phones for everything, that made us very nervous.

What a fantastic tour!! Our tour guide, Kenneth, made the whole experience so much fun. Thanks, Kenneth, for being so informative, outgoing, and gracious. We will always remember our girls trip to Banff as so special and wonderful because of you and everything we got to see and experience!!

Viator is an easy and reliable tour company. This tour we took was very comprehensive and gave us an excellent overview of the Banff area. Our tour guide, Ben, was pleasant and knowledgeable. We would be happy to tour with him again. The only negative to our day was the weather. Clearly not Viator’s fault !

We had a tour guide named Sammy who was very humorous. On the day, he held a very visible neon green sign with the name of the person who booked the tour (our pickup was Downtown Calgary, if you have different pickups then they will pick you up along the way). I suggest you buy some food you like before going onto the tour, they do have lunch break for us (start time was at 7:30am, lunch break near 11 or 12?) I found myself snacking on stuff I brought before lunch break so I suggest you either eat something beforehand or bring some food. For 2 people, we brought 2 subs and a few cans of soda. At the lunch break area, there is a few stores to buy food at - Look up Trailhead Coffee at Lake Louise Dr, that's where our group had lunch break at. The tour itself was nice, the pros are that you get access to areas that are generally no-car entry allowed, so one of the areas (forgot which one) had an 11km walk or bike only to the lake(?) Cons were, you do things at the tour schedule, so there's that. I wanted to rent a canoe but there wasn't enough time to do so. The tour is nice if you only have like a day off due to work or just checking out a few places while you're in Banff/Calgary. My partner and I liked the tour and felt it was worth the tour fare to see the lakes. As we have seen the lakes already, the next time if we decide to go back will be on our own time, not with a tour as we want the freedom of time to do what we want without being bound to the tour schedule.

On a recent vacation to Calgary we took the Banff Gondola Hot Springs Bow Falls and Three Lakes Tour. From beginning to end, we had a very enjoyable day. The pick-up location was easy to find and very walkable from our downtown hotel. Our guide, Naveen, did an excellent job. He was cordial and professional, a perfect combination. Our favorite parts of the tour were Bow Falls, Lake Louise, and the Banff Gondola. If you take this tour and you happen to love mint chocolate chip ice cream, you're in luck! It was available at the snack stand at Lake Minnewanka and was delicious!

We had an amazing experience with Fairy Bus Tours, and a lot of the credit goes to our guide, Raj S. Raj was on time, very organized, and shared a lot of interesting information throughout the day without making it feel like a lecture. He also knew exactly where to position us to make the most of our time at both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. Now for the fun part… 😄 Raj kept telling us that he’d been incredibly lucky with wildlife sightings over the past couple of weeks—everything from black bears to Banff’s famous grizzly, “The Boss.” We gave him a hard time and joked that we’d believe it only if he could deliver for our tour too. Well… on our way back from Lake Louise, we came around a bend and there was a beautiful black bear cub right by the roadside! The entire bus erupted with excitement. It couldn’t have been a more perfect ending to an already incredible day. Whether it was luck or Raj’s instincts, we’ll happily give him the credit! 😄 If you’re visiting Banff and trying to decide how to get to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Fairy Bus Tours. Professional, well organized, informative, and a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. 10/10. Thanks again, Raj!

The trip was fantastic and the saleprice made it worth it. Our driver Youn was amazing. Knowledgable and to the point. Highly reccomend the Banff2Go company. Finding the vehicle was all but a text to them to ask when it would be arriving and I had a super quick response.
