Lake Minnewanka Cruise

Kourtney_B, Aug 2026

Well worth the money!

The cruise was super cool. Learned lots about the area. The history of the lake was fascinating. Holly and Cpt. Madeline were amazing too! There was a scared little kid on our cruise and they took the time to calm him down and tried to ease his worries while we waited to depart. Holly also later took a moment to speak with each person on the boat which made it all that more special. Gorgeous views, fun boatride, and great staff!

Best Banff Lakes Tour!

They have the best guide (Josh) he personalized the experience with helpful communication before through WhatsApp and continued well after the tour sending pictures of the group taken together at each vista. The stops were unbelievable and the van got prime spots. He gave tons of information with humor mixed in. He made sure everyone got perfect photos by offering to take them for us. Incredible photographer too. Can't say enough positive. We even got tiny treats during the tour. Our choice to be picked up at the Banff Caribou Lodge was the best decision. Parking was easy and many quant places to kill time and eat prior to and after the tour.

Ahmad was our tour guide and he was amazing! Great knowledge about the area and did his best to keep to group on time for all stops, he would keep an eye on all his guest during stops to see if they needed helps, information or pictures taken! 10/10!

I enjoyed my day tour to Banff with Lisa and her team. They made sure we had ample time at every spot, provided instructions on best views and great stories about each location. Lisa even climbed the rock pile with group at Lake Morraine and took pictures. She is wonderful! I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a quick escape from Calgary.

Banff Gondola Ride Admission

Karen_K, Aug 2026

Stunning visit to Banff Gondola!

Prior to boarding, we were able to visit Starbucks and the lovely gift shop. The amenities included in the Banff Gondola FAR EXCEEDED our expectations. At the top of the gondola is a LARGE, GORGEOUS visitor center with a beautiful restaurant and a fun bar--both offering GREAT views! There are multiple viewing sites, seating, games, refreshments, binoculars, firepits, and maps detailing the surrounding mountains. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!!

Columbia Icefield Tour with Glacier Skywalk

Jody_G, Aug 2026

The Columbia Icefield ... A Definite Must See

It was a long day from Calgary but it was worth it! Our guide, Kamal, made sure we were able to see all the best sights on the trip, and he got us back in time for our dinner reservations. We ate at the Icefield fast food restaurant but the sit down restaurant looked very nice and other travelers in our group said the food was delicious. Our guide to the glacier was funny. Getting to walk on the ice and see it up close was so amazing! Overall a very good trip.

Calgary/Canmore/Banff: Moraine Lake & Lake Louise Return Shuttle

Louise_S, Aug 2026

Great service, would recommend.

The tour bus was great. On time and no problems. The bus played a guided tour while driving which told interesting facts while on the drive. Would definitely recommend if you don't want the wait for the Parks Canada buses. 1 and a half hours at each lake was good too, especially if you want to rent a canoe for an hour.

Perfect Half Day Tour

I’ve always had a great experience with Viator, and this tour was no exception. Since we didn’t have much time, we chose the half-day tour to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, which was a perfect way to see both highlights. Danish was a competent, careful, and professional driver, making the trip comfortable and enjoyable. We had a wonderful experience and would definitely book with Viator again.
