Very organized and quick tour. We didn't want to do too much hiking. Trip was perfect. It ended around 1230pm. We were able to visit other places afterwards.

Akki(shuttle driver) was very friendly and helpful with every aspect of our visit. Will definitely recommend
Mary_H, Jul 2026
It was difficult to find pickup location ⌠not well signed! Cost of parking in the location should be communicated ahead of time and options provided! Driver was pleasant enough but didnât provide any local knowledge! Recording provide underway was very generic!

Our driver, Sujist, while very nice had limited English and was quite hard to understand. Probably for this reason, he used a recorded tape, that they sell to drivers traveling in their cars to Banff.
While informative, it applied to 3 or 4 different tours that werenât ours. In your own car u could look and see what was being discussed, but in a shuttle with 12 people, you could see very little. Not much of a personal touch, although our driver showed us a few 20 second videos when his tour had had good animal viewing. We apparently did have a bear on the side of the highway, and the driver stopped for it, but again with 12 people, most of us did not have a good View.
Also, it was as advertised as an hour at each lake, take away toilet time and walking to the waters edge⌠there wasnât time to visit the lake and definitely not the gift shop at each location. Iâd recommend a slightly longer stay. (This is the norm on these trips tho)
Originally, we had booked the same type of shuttle tour from a different company and it was picking us up at the Canmore Visitors Center. It was cancelled the morning before with no explanation. We were staying in Canmore, so it would have been much More convenient.
So we were happy to find we could get on this tour with less than 24 hour planningâŚ. In the end we had a $25 parking fee to do this tour, which we had not expected. If ur staying in Banff or using the Roam public bus system, it would have saved u that cost

The shuttle was on time. The driver was so helpful and drove so carefully. Itâs so amazing that they give snacks and water when you come back to the shuttle.

Morraine Lake closed down a day early, however our tour guy more than made up for it because on top of spending 1 hour at Lake Louise, we visited Lake Minnewanka, Two Jack Lake and he took us to a lookout point where we saw numerous deer and over 30 Elk. It was an amazing tour and I would highly recommemd
Chantale_R, Oct 2025
Unfortunately, we didn't get to go to Moraine Lake as per roads were closed two days earlier then expected. Tour guide was offered alternative to Minnewanka and Two Jack Lakes and our way back to Banff we had an unexpected stop at Tunnel Mountain lookout to observe deer and Elk on the move. Amazing day with stunning views of land, lakes and wildlife!
Donald_H, Oct 2025
It was a nice and informative trip to some key places near Banff. As described we went to Lake Louise and Lake Moraine was closed to us so the guide took us to Lake Minnewanka instead. We also went to Lake Two Jack and saw some great views along with a few active wildlife visitors. Overall a wonderful time and would gladly go again or recommend to anyone.

We took the bus tour from Banff to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and it was absolutely amazing! Our driver Akko was phenomenal - friendly, informative, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great experience. The schedule was perfect, giving us plenty of time to explore both lakes without feeling rushed. When my daughter accidentally left her phone in the restroom at Lake Louise, our driver even stopped so we could go back and get it. Truly outstanding service! I canât recommend this tour enough.
Amanda_B, Oct 2025
Absolutely super nice people, very clean! The tour is wel worth it to be able to see Lake Moraine since you cant access it personally!
Brandon_K, Oct 2025
everything was fine but one thing, if he can drive little more with caution, would be better experience
Dan_M, Oct 2025
The tour was the perfect! Just enough time at each lake to take lots of photos and not feel rushed! Aki, our driver did a great job getting us to each location! Would highly recommend this tour company!
TRACEY_S, Oct 2025
Pleasant and enjoyable despite the rain at Lake Moraine. Joe gave us umbrellas to use and the snacks were an added surprise.
Simon_H, Oct 2025

Denise_H, Sep 2025
Very relaxing drive, no worries over parking, loved the history and commentary as we rode. The sights were beautiful and we had plenty of time to enjoy the out doors and getting a snack.
Glen_V, Sep 2025
On time - just the right amount of time at each location- really enjoyed the âride alongâ commentary- it was informative and just the right amount of content and everyone could hear the presentation. Our driver Joe, was very attentive to our questions and needs - nice job, Joe.
Priscila_L, Sep 2025
Excellent trip! Great customer service from the driver, great tour info on the way to the lakes. Easy to find the van, left on time. I wish we had 1h30 at each lake but I 100% recommend this service!
Marthe_L, Sep 2025
Joe the driver added his comments to the taped messages. Gave us suggestions. Very courteous and respectful.
Michelle_B, Sep 2025
This was a Great way to see Lake Louise and Lake Moraine, The Bus is very comfortable and has a narrator telling of the History and Facts about the area, The driver of the Bus was very pleasant and accommodating, We even had a bottle of water and a granola bar waiting for us after the first stop after visiting Lake Louise, I would definitely Recommend taking this tour if you want to visit both Lakes, as you can not take a personal car to Lake Moraine, Best way to see both Lakes in My opinion!
Dani_M, Sep 2025
We had a great time. Our driver was nice and informative. Van was comfortable and it was a no hassle way to see both lakes.
Ian_B, Sep 2025
Great trip to see both lakes with good knowledge & commentary.
It was worth it & great value for money.
Brenda_H, Sep 2025
A great way to see Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. Joe our driver was excellent and we were even lucky to see a mama grizzly bear and 2 cubs on our trip. Stunning lakes and a great trip all round.
Emily_P, Sep 2025
Excellent service and brilliant commentary of the whole trip. The lakes were absolutely stunning. A highlight of the trip
Caroline_T, Sep 2025
We had booked on the 8.00am trip to get to the lakes early and miss the worst of the crowds but our trip was cancelled the day before and we were offered a place on the 9.00am bus. I asked if we could join the 7.00am trip but that wasnât running either so if you have a time constraint donât book with this company.
Bob_M, Sep 2025
The driver Joe was good but the bus was awful. Four of us were crammed in the back row and the two window seats had nowhere to put your legs due to the wheel wells. It made the expensive trip uncomfortable
