A great Banff tour experience
Our tour guide Ozzy was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and knew his way around the area! We felt comfortable and welcomed. We were welcomed with bottles of water, a small but nice touch to a tour which we haven’t seen before. We reached the respective locations at times where it was still possible to take a nice photo, and finished the whole experience at a perfect time for us to have lunch afterwards. Highly recommend if this is your first time in Banff!

Highly recommended to book
The best experience to have in Banff at night. Enjoy Moraine Lake in a peaceful atmosphere. Encountering wildlife was also a real treat, and the guide was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the Milkyway due to the haze, but I will to book this tour again when I visit Banff next time.

Fabulous Tour!
This tour was excellent and I’m so glad we booked it rather than try to drive to all of the lakes ourselves! We were able to pass by the long lines of cars trying to park and go straight towards the sights. Our guide, Michael, was excellent! He was kind, knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. It was definitely worth the price.

We had an amazing...
We had an amazing experience with Sebastian and couldn't have asked for a better guide! From the very beginning, everything was seamless with a smooth and punctual pickup.
On the drive, Sebastian shared fascinating stories and local knowledge that made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. We were even lucky enough to spot a mama black bear with her two cubs, a deer, and witness the iconic train passing through the mountains —both unforgettable highlights of the day.
When we arrived at Moraine Lake, Sebastian managed to find a parking spot during the busy July season, which felt like a miracle! He treated us to delicious hot coffee and hot chocolate for the kids, served in insulated travel mugs—a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. He guided us up the Rockpile, showed us quieter spots away from the crowds for beautiful family photos, and thanks to his advice, we chose to canoe at Moraine Lake, where the line was much shorter than at Lake Louise. It was one of the best decisions of the day!
At Lake Louise, Sebastian recommended the perfect hiking trail based on our family, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice.
We are a family of four with two kids, and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Sebastian's knowledge, kindness, attention to detail, and thoughtful planning made the entire experience relaxing, memorable, and truly special.
We are so glad we chose this tour. It made visiting Moraine Lake and Lake Louise during the peak July season easy and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an exceptional Rocky Mountain experience!

Must do
My friend and I did the tour and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ray our guide was super friendly and very charismatic, he made sure we all had what we needed and had some great stories to tell us about the area. If you are looking for a sunrise experience this is the one

Waking up early was 100% worth it – the view was absolutely insane!
Our guide Pam was the best – super informative, crazy patient, and helped everyone out along the way. We had both elderly parents and young kids in our group, and Pam made sure every single one of us felt comfortable and included. She really went above and beyond.
If you're on the fence, just book it. You won't regret it!

A wonderful tour of Canada's most beautiful lakes with Samuel! 🌲💙
Samuel is just an amazing guide! He is fun, laid-back, and has a great sense of humor. There’s absolutely zero stress with him, just pure positivity and good vibes all day long. He also helps you take beautiful photos.
The lakes are completely surreal! The color of the water, the views, the nature—it’s absolutely breathtaking. The day flew by in the blink of an eye, leaving me with nothing but the brightest emotions.
I highly recommend this tour with Samuel! If you want to see the true beauty of Canada in a fun setting, this is definitely the way to go.
Thank you so much, Samuel! 👍

Banff July 2026 Fantastic
This is an absolute great trip to see all of the major sightseeing places around Banff.
Gary was great at getting us to main entrances all of the time...which was good as we had some ailing walkers.
I was thinking of driving to these sites in a car...there is no way we'd get parking close to where the tour busses drop us off. In some cases the parking for cars is 2km away.
You will also need to know that while the walks are not overly stressful, if you are not used to longer walks or have ok cardio then this may be a bit much to see the best parts of the sites. Some places are an easy walk, while others like the canyon walk are about 1.5 kms going up and down hilly areas.
Overall amazing day that I'm sure all would enjoy.

Well worth this fantastic adventure!
This is a fantastic opportunity to see the best that the Canadian Rockies have to offer. The lakes are crystal clear and absolutely stunning to view. Being close to the mountains is absolutely amazing. Our guide Jacky was very knowledgeable and helpful. We ended up getting to go to the Banff Hot Springs for an hour when everyone else explored Banff Village and took the Gondola ride. This was shear luck because usually the Hot Springs are packed and you can't buy tickets ahead. We took the risk and it was absolutely worth it! We would definitely recommend this tour to everyone. Wear comfortable shoes and layer up because anything can happen with the weather!

Great trip good price
This trip covers a lot of site seeing around Banff National Park and allows time for lunch in downtown Banff. We got picked up in Canmore which was convenient for us. The tour was 9 hours, which seems like a long time, but since the tour included so many sites, it didn’t feel that long. We started with the Banff Gondola. Our tour guide, Ram was great. He helped us with getting the gondola tickets. You have a little over an hour up top. The scenery was amazing. They had outside observation decks and chairs to relax. You can also hike. Next we soaked in the Banff mineral springs. I highly recommend it. I felt renewed and relaxed after a 10 minute soak. We then went to Bow falls, which was picturesque. Ram was ready to help with pictures. He even did a 360 picture for us. It looks professional. We then got an hour in Banff to shop or eat. We grabbed some lunch. The afternoon included, surprise corner, Johnson Lake, two Jacks lake and Lake Minnewanka. I could be leaving something out. Not sure. We had ice cream from the snack shack at Kake Minnewanka. It was better than Cows in Banff. The price is right. I’d definitely recommend this tour

Great Tour
We had a great day and saw so many sights and even bears! Harry (our driver) stopped whenever there was something interesting to look at for a photo opportunity. He was very accommodating and even changed the order of our tour around so that everyone could do the Ice Experience
