It sounds like you're ready for an epic adventure! Those spots are absolutely gorgeous, and you’re right, each one has its own kind of magic. Emerald Lake with its deep green water looks almost unreal, and hiking through Johnston Canyon with the waterfalls has that perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty. Are you more into exploring on your own, or do you prefer the structure of a tour where everything’s mapped out for you? Both have their perks, but if you’re a bit of a photographer or like to take your time at each spot, solo exploration can be pretty freeing. What kind of vibes are you hoping to get out of the trip? Are you all about the scenic views, or do you also want to get into some hiking or activities?

What are people saying about Canmore

ARZEL_T, Jun 2026

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!

Well set up tour and friendly driver/guide.

The tour itinerary was what we were looking for. Time alloted on each location is just enough to explore the place and have our pictures taken. Our driver/tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He tried to help each one of us to have our pictures taken and was so caring to give everyone umbrella because it rained a lot during our tour.

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.

Absolute must

In my opinion, it’s a must do. Staying in, Banff was perfect as we had a later departure time and an early arrival back. Our guide (Kenneth) was amazing. Very knowledgeable and informative throughout the tour. The bus was comfortable and, Kenneth provided some history along the way which made the trips from each destination feel quick. The sightseeing and views were worth every penny. I don’t think my wife and I would have done all this in one day, so we were very happy we chose this tour. Highly recommend!

10/10 Niclas was awesome

Niclas was a great guide! From his knowledgeable chats during the drive to the tips on what trails to take or the best viewing spots, it was a great experience! I really appreciated the company providing hot tea, coffee or coco and the sealable cups they also provided! It was wonderful to have a warm beverage while marveling at the views. We were also provided a headlamp, a pad to help with sitting on the rocks and a blanket all in a draw string bag so it was easy to carry with you. When it started to rain we were provided a very nice reusable poncho. This trip was worth every penny! It’s difficult to wake up so early but it’s nice to have someone else drive you so you can relax and maybe catch a nap on the way there.

Great time

First of all our tour guide Toby was fantastic. He gave us lots of information and history everywhere we went. He constantly checked on you to see if you needed anything or if we wanted a photo taken. It's nice to have a small group. I don't remember this on the what is included on the trip, but the company provided us with a backpack with a camping chair and blanket due to it gets cold up on the rock hill. That was a nice surprise. Unfortunately we did not see any stars at the lake due to it starting to snow. But the snow was cool because where I'm from we don't get snow that often. We made our way in an overlook of Banff downtown and that was cool to see the city lights. We also did get to see stars at that location. Overall we had a great time. One thing i want to mention is to don't forget to tip your tour guide. They deserve it.

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.

Banff/Canmore Moraine Lake & Lake Louise– Hike, Canoe or Sightsee

Lake Moraine Lake Louise Extended Tour

We had an amazing experience yesterday. I don’t remember our guides name, but he was awesome. He was very polite, knowledgeable, and kept to the schedule. I would definitely recommend this tour. We were at Moraine Lake for 1.5 hours and it was plenty of time to take photos on the rock pile and hike by the lake. Our time in Lake Louise was actually too much time. We managed to rent a canoe and have hot cocoa and a muffin at the little coffee shop. We didn’t hike only because my knees were already hurting. Weather was great. We saw an elk on our drive back.
