Anchit was exceptional

Anchit was beyond fabulous. He shared his knowledge and experiences and was ready to lend a hand. My wife and I have mobility issues, but Anchit made sure that we made it in and out of the van safely and advised us about which paths would be easier for us to take. He was professional, respectful, and extremely friendly. We loved being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Banff area.

Explore Moraine Lake and Lake Louise — A Half Day Tour

Half Day Lake Louise and Marble Canyon Tour - Five Stars :)

Excellent and well-paced half-day tour to Lake Louise and Marble Canyon (Moraine Lake closes from Oct 12–June 1st). Our guide, Frank, was awesome — very thorough and gave us lots of great information about Banff and surrounding areas — we learned a lot! Plenty of time to see Lake Louise. We did the short but steep hike up to the lookout — amazing views but honestly our guide, Frank, was right about the lower trail to the left being better and more scenic for the time you have to explore. The trail along the lake offers more lake and dramatic mountain views whereas the hike up keeps you in the forest and then when you arrive at the lookout there's a very small platform with everyone wanting to get their perfect photo. Worth it but only if you have more time. The drive to Marble Canyon was also very scenic and it was a very easy trail to explore the beauty and dramatic rock of the canyon. We really enjoyed it! We'd definitely recommend this and decided to take this tour based on: it includes the park pass and parking fees which can be expensive and it allows you to look around at the beautiful landscape and scenery rather than driving! And you get to ask a local guide all the questions you have. Definitely recommended and thank you again for a great tour, Frank!

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Michele_K, Oct 2026

Beautiful Snowy Climb

The Banff Shuttle included with our tour vouchers was very easy to take from the Banff Train Station. We arrived early and we ended up being the only ones on it in early October. The Gondola area was not crowded and everyone working there were very helpful. The day was a little snowy but that added to the beauty of the mountains. Even though our views were a little compromised, we enjoyed some hot chocolate at the top and the firepits were a welcome touch. All in all, a great experience!

What an amazing experience! 🥰 Our tour was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to the Canadian Rockies! 🏔️ The views were absolutely spectacular, almost unreal! Pictures simply don’t do them justice!!! A special shoutout to our wonderful driver and tour guide,*Red! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring! He made the entire journey fun, comfortable, and memorable. What impressed me most was when another bus nearly sideswiped me in the parking lot. Red immediately stepped in and reminded the other driver to be more careful. That really showed how much he cares about his passengers’ safety, even outside his bus! 👍 Thank you, Red, for going above and beyond! Banff Explorer is lucky to have you! Thank you for being part of our wonderful Canadian Rockies adventure! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Highly recommended!
