Safe and enjoyable evening experience💙

We had Jacob as our guide, and what a special experience it was! The funny thing is, I had been on this tour about eight years ago with a girlfriend and had one of those once- in- a- lifetime nights: two moose on the little island in front of us, glowing mountains, and the northern lights dancing overhead . I loved it so much that when we returned to this beautiful place, I had to book the tour again, this time with my husband. I couldn’t believe our luck when Jacob was our guide again! We didn’t spot any moose this time, but Jacob made the evening just as memorable. He’s funny, supportive, and clearly loves what he does. The tour itself is unique, refreshing, and so much fun . If you love taking pictures, it’s also a safe and wonderful way to capture beautiful night photos.Jacob taught us tips and tricks that helped us take beautiful night pictures. I truly think everyone visiting should experience this tour. It’s a nice easy pace to enjoy the end of the evening. I’ve heard it’s run by a lovely little family business, and you can feel how much heart they put into it. When we come back, we’ll absolutely book again and we’ll be hoping Jacob is our guide! Ask for Jacob if you can. He really is the best, in my experience. 💙 Teresa and Julius Winnipeg, Manitoba

Beautiful Scenery, Great Memories, and an Excellent Guide!

We took this tour in late August with Reuben as our driver and guide, and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly kind, laid-back, and a very safe driver. He planned the day perfectly, getting us to Bow Falls before the first tourist bus even arrived! We also visited Johnston Canyon, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and more. Reuben knew all the best hidden spots to avoid the crowds and took amazing photos of me and my family. The tour was well-paced and gave us a great introduction to Banff, especially for anyone wanting to return and explore these beautiful places on their own. We loved Lake Louise so much that we came back the following day to go canoeing! Our time at Lake Louise was slightly shortened because we had to pick up a small private tour group that was unable to access Moraine Lake, but that was just a minor hiccup in an otherwise amazing day. And the views from the Rockpile viewpoint at Moraine Lake were absolutely breathtaking! Overall, a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend Reuben!

Great experience!!

Our entire trip was absolutely wonderful from start to finish, but what truly made it an unforgettable experience was our incredible tour guide, Steve. From the moment we met him, his enthusiasm and warm personality set a fantastic tone for the whole journey. Steve is exceptionally knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and insider details that we never would have discovered on our own. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and having a great time. If you are planning this trip, do yourself a favor and ask for Steve.. he truly made it awesome!

An evening filled with wildlife

Going on a wildlife tour is always a "cross your fingers" type of adventure, but I figured I needed some professional guidance. I chose Radadventures because of their great reputation, and they did not disappoint. Not long into our adventure, we saw bear and deer. Soon afterward, we came upon a group of big horn sheep licking rocks and scaling a steep embankment. Not long afterward, we saw more white-tailed deer right outside the windows of our van. Toward the end the evening, we were on the spectacular venue of the Fairway Springs golf course watching elk grazing with the Bull elk bugling the cows with their young. A wildlife filled evening adventure! Thank you Charlie and Radadventures!

This trip was perfect in many ways. We’re not big on all day tours, so the total amount of time was perfect as well as the time allotted for each lake. Our tour guide Kenneth was an absolute professional who shared history and fun facts while we were traveling, and has a great sense of humor.

Excellent tour and guides

The tour guides were amazing. Great personalities and very attentive to the travelers. So many little things that made you feel spoiled. The chairs, blankets, hot drinks in little thermoses, head lamps. They even had hiking sticks. They were actively interacting with everyone. Definitely worth booking.

Excellent tour of two famous lakes in Banff National Park. Recommended.

This was an excellent tour. I was short on time, and couldn't do a full day tour. In just five hours I was able to enjoy the beauty of Moraine lake and Lake Louise. Our tour guide Frank was excellent. He educated us about the lakes, while using humor, and keeping the group on time. I really appreciated his time management. The tour ended exactly after five hours. I highly recommend this tour.

Anita_S, Aug 2026

Good experience

The tour was very smooth, and our Guide, Aashish, was very knowledgeable about the area of Alberta. He kept the tour on schedule and gave us enough time to explore. In addition, Aashish took pictures of all the travelers at famous spots. This was very nice of him. Over all great experience. The only thing I would suggest is pick up process could be a little smoother. It was confusing and chaotic. Each traveler should have been given the name of their driver and the bus number, could have avoided the frustration.
