Really enjoyed the boat...
Really enjoyed the boat ride, especially since we were on a smaller boat, not a large tourist boat. Our naturalist was very dynamic and a wealth of information. Since it was clam waters, they turned off the engines when we got to the back country and had us all be still for a minute just to hear the stillness.

We had a great experience...
We had a great experience with our tour guide, Lisa! She was entertaining, enthusiastic and incredibly bilingual in English and Chinese! We had a major traffic delay but Lisa was able to pivot and think quickly on her feet and was still able to get in all the events that were planned for our excursion. We had an amazing experience it was well worth our time and money!

Great tour! The time at...
Great tour! The time at each stop was short but totally understandable due to the driving distance between stops and the distance from the pickup spot. Such a great way to see the major Banff tourist spots like Lake Louise and Emerald Lake without having to worry about waking up at the crack of dawn to get parking!! Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and was happy to answer questions.

Unforgetful experience with the mama bear and her four little cubs.
We had a great time joining the tour. Anjit who is our tour leader as well as the Van's driver is very friendly, helpful and accomodating to all the tour members. He let us have enough time of taking pictures and videos at the look out points and stops. He stopped for us to take pictures and videos of the mama bear and the little four cubs in the wilderness from the side of the road. Everyone has a good time. He made us feeling togetherness and belonging to the tour and keep the whole atmoshere cheerful and interesting for everyone by telling Canadian stories and puzzles. This trip.was our second time in Banff and its point of interests in two consecutive years.

Good way to experience...
Good way to experience the beauty of Lake Louise and Lake Morraine. Red was a great tour operator who enabled punctuality and a safe and enjoyable experience at each lake by giving us tips on best locations to take in the views and about how long each activity around the lakes may take (canoeing, hiking, walking around the lakeshore). The price is competitive and there is free Wi-Fi on board.

Excellent experience
It has been a great trip maximizing our time in Banff area by evening. Shuttle departed by 3.30 pm (decades due to some issues with vehicle). Parking behind Canalta lodge or at train station (plan 15 minutes to walk to pick up point). Muskal is a great guide and driver. Very prompt in replying to our message as to her ahead of the trip.

Great shuttle service, lovely driver, wonderful half day at the lakes!
Great shuttle service to visit both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. 80 minutes at each lake was the perfect amount of time. Caroline was an excellent and safe driver, and provided lots of information about the surrounding area. She had a fun sense of humor too! Very easy, affordable, no-stress and pleasant way to visit both lakes. Highly recommend this service!

Our family had a wonderful time touring the lakes and Banff! We were in a van with 14 people, and our tour guide, Tammy, did an excellent job. She was very knowledgeable about the lakes and the surrounding area, and she also helped take photos of our group, which we really appreciated. It was a fun and memorable experience for everyone.

It was a stress free Wonderful Journey
We booked a tour of Lake Louise and Moraine Lake with Rockies Journey. Kenneth, our tour guide, was very friendly and explained everything thoroughly throughout the trip. We highly recommend them. Traveling as a family of 8 (2 kids and 6 adults), we really appreciated that they supplied water, snacks, and candy. The tour started and ended right on time. We were very satisfied!

Good tour
Good experience. The guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky with an early sighting of a bear. Lots of long-horn sheep. And towards the end some elf from a distance and deer. The stopping spots and views were good regardless of whether we saw animals in all locations or not. I'd recommend taking the tour.

Moraine Lake & Louise Lake Tour
The tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise was absolutely incredible! The views were breathtaking, with crystal-clear turquoise waters surrounded by majestic mountains. The tour was well organized, and the guide was knowledgeable and friendly. We had enough time to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and appreciate the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. This was truly one of the highlights of my visit to Alberta. Highly recommended!” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Views that you will not want to miss!
A wonderful tour covering Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and parts of Banff National Park. Our brilliant tour guide, Jake, made this more of an adventure. Part historian, part outdoorsman, great comic relief and self proclaimed best looking tour guide in the Canadian Rockies, Jake really made this a day to remember. He shared so much history about the area and this great wilderness we all enjoyed. We were lucky enough to see a mother Grizzly Bear and her cubs eating berries on the side of the road to Moraine Lake. This 4 .5 hour tour is a perfect length. Sign up for the early tour to beat a lot of the crowds.
