We highly recommend this tour. The lakes and vistas we saw were stunning: Lakes Bow, Peyto, Moraine and Louise are other worldly in their beauty. Our guide Vishal was warm, friendly and thoroughly knowledgeable. He expertly guided us to each location and shared great insight about each destination. Tremendous tour.

Great trip, Rahul was a great tour guide
We got to see brown and black bears in the wild today which was amazing!
JenniferS_V, Jul 2026
In the van we were able to go places that regular cars could not. We went on a Monday, so it was not terribly crowded. I think that in our own car we would not have been able to see everything in one day.

Amazing tour of the most beautiful locations at Banff National park. Comfortable transport, quick access, friendly staff, careful driver, enough time to enjoy the locations visited. Pick up was punctual from our hotel.
Kimberly_B, Jul 2026
This tour was an absolute highlight of my trip and a truly unforgettable experience! If you're visiting, it’s something you simply cannot miss. It’s the perfect activity to enjoy with the whole family. A special shoutout to our tour guide Jack, who was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and one solid dude, throughout the entire journey. His expertise and warm personality made the whole day feel special. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, highly recommended for everyone! Plus we saw a juvenile black bear, which made it more incredible. Thank you again Jack!

Rahul was our driver, he was so friendly and knowledgeable on the best picture taking spots. Loved the 8 destinations all were spectacular! Definitely would recommend!

Rahul was an amazing tour guide! Very knowledgeable. I would do this trip again if I go back to Banff!

Reuben did a wonderful job ensuring all passengers got the most out of their experience, making himself available to take photos and answer questions while offering helpful tips and local advice. The comfortable transportation and safe driving also made the journey relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a stress-free, informative, and memorable experience, our family highly recommends this tour. The combination of a comprehensive, well organised itenery,, comfortable transport and excellent service provided by our guide - Reuben, made it one of the highlights of our trip!

This was an exceptional tour! Definitely book it!! It’s absolutely the best way to see this beautiful countryside. Matilda, our guide was just wonderful! She was very caring to all the guests and very knowledgeable about the area. She also very willing to take pictures for you. The comfortable 12 passenger van was just perfect for us!!
Michele_C, Jul 2026
Amazing way to see it all! Comfy van with 10 “new friends” on a 10 hour adventure. Kieran was a great tour guide and driver, navigating crazy busy parking lots in busy tourist areas expertly and keeping us on schedule and making sure we weren’t lost in the crowds-even helping guide us to the less traveled and less congested paths and spots along our adventure. What a fabulous day in Canmore, Banff and touring the Icefields Parkeay, plus gorgeous turquoise blue lakes (Peyto, Louise and Morraine) and a rushing waters split canyon morning hike to start it all off. Pick this one and you won’t be sorry - it has it all and makes busy tourist areas a breeze.
Edna_L, Jul 2026
Highly recommend this tour. It’s a great way to see the key sights in just a day. Also, the tour van was able to park in all the closet lots. Our guide Kieran was excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, and made sure each guest was taken care of.
Robert_C, Jul 2026
It was great! You travel to Lake Louise, Lake Morraine and Peyto Lake—all three were beautiful beyond words. The other stops were also spectacular! Kieran coordinated for pickup at our residence the night before and was there in the morning right on time. He explained our itinerary for the day and answered all questions we asked him. He was very informative throughout the day and provided us with details about every stop. His driving was excellent—very safe and conscientious.
Kieran made a great trip even more enjoyable and was very interactive with all the passengers. He is a super tour guide and exhibits a lot of professionalism. I highly recommend this tour!
Susan_C, Jul 2026
Kieran was a great guide and the day was terrific! Lots of great mini hikes to gorgeous vistas. Kieran’s wonderful sense of humor (and delightful UK accent!) made for a perfect day in Banff!
Mindy_G, Jul 2026
Wonderful tour with beautiful stops along the way! Friendly and helpful tour guide, Ruben, who made sure to point out the best spots at each location (otherwise easily missed). Highly recommend!
Sherry_G, Jul 2026
Lori was our tour guide and she was absolutely wonderful. This was the second day of our trip and we were able to see so many (8) of the amazing sites near Banff. She gave us time to enjoy the area and spend some time soaking in the beauty. Pick up and drop off was right on time and at our hotel. The seating was very comfortable to be riding around all day and climbing in and out. Lori was so very nice and friendly which made us very comfortable with the whole excursion. It was truly a very memorable day. We all loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone starting off their vacation. If able request Lori as your tour guide!
Brandy_M, Jul 2026
We had an amazing experience on the Banff, Lake Louise, and Moraine Lake tour! Our guide, Kieran, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire 8-hour van tour enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting facts about the area, kept everything well organized, and made sure everyone had a great experience. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we never felt rushed at the stops. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have Kieran as your guide!
Carmen_F, Jul 2026
Kieran (our guide) was wonderful. He was knowledgeable, funny, kind & always helpful. I highly recommend him and this tour. Great day!
Peter_W, Jul 2026
This was a wonderful trip the guide Antkin was pleasant, professional, helpful! He took into consideration our needs all day long! He had fun facts to share to pass the time between stops. Highly recommend this tour to anyone we definitely were able to capture the beauty of Banff. Coming from Arizona the contrast was spectacular. We will be back.
Amanda_T, Jul 2026
Great way to see so many places in Banff! My friends and I had a great time. Our tour guide was friendly and took some great photos.
Steve_P, Jul 2026
This is a great way to see a lot of Banff in a day. Ankit, our guide was knowledgeable and very flexible to make sure our group was able to see the things we wanted to z
Murray_C, Jul 2026
Excellent tour. Our driver, Jack, was very friendly and knowledgeable. This trip surpassed all of our expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.
Melissa_C, Jul 2026
One of our favourite day trips that we did while in Canada. Our guide K was great, giving us plenty of information and making the day very enjoyable. With the number of stops we did, we felt we were able to see a lot of what Banff had to offer in the little time we had.
Lead_T, Jul 2026
This allows you to enjoy amazing sites without having to drive it. Seeing from a different view point. Learning about the stops and the history that goes along with them. Our driver made it exciting and kept my teenage sons attention.
Tamara_N, Jul 2026
A great way to see all of the “must see sights” around the area. Loved having front row parking at every location. Jack was amazing if you are lucky enough to get him as a guide. A must do tour!!
Penny_G, Jul 2026
It was the perfect day! Our guide, Kieran, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and knew how to time our stops to avoid the big crowds. Highly recommend!
Deron_R, Jul 2026
Prepare for a long day, and bring snacks and a head pillow. The van is very nice and comfortable, but I was still happy to have a change of clothes and a jacket for the day.
Our guide AK was awesome. He was super chill and relaxed, which was nice, but also very friendly and approachable. The one downside was that it was hard to understand him at times in the van, between the road noise, the AC blasting, and a microphone that could have been better.
The stops cover all the essential, iconic places you want to see (think Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and the rest of the Banff highlights), and the day is very well planned out. It is, however, a genuinely long day. My biggest complaint would be the lunch location and options, which were not great. I think there could be a better area chosen for the lunch stop.
Aside from that, I felt we got the most value for the money, and the hotel pickup and dropoff was a major bonus. Overall, this is a worthwhile day tour and the best way to see very busy, popular locations without added stress or hassle.
Janet_M, Jul 2026
Well worth the cost! Van was comfortable!
Guide was exceptional! Traveled at a good pace. Had plenty of time at all the stops. Guide excellent, knowledgeable, and fun! We saw so much and hit all the highlights in Banff. Highly recommend! Jan
John_O, Jul 2026
Excellent overview of main highlights of the area in a luxury coach with a small group of people. The guide was informative and very helpful during the 12 hour tour.
Michelle_K, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful trip and Matilda was a fantastic tour guide. She was quite knowledgeable and an excellent driver. Would highly recommend a tour if you don’t want the stress of having to find parking at all the more popular spots around Banff. We had just the right amount of time at each location and so thankful to the Canadian government for us not having to pay for admission fees at the parks. Length of the trip was just about right. Matilda gave very good suggestions on how to avoid the long lines and still get a fantastic view. Got to see some wildlife too! Excellent job! Highly, highly recommend. 5 stars! ️
Sara_H, Jul 2026
From the moment he picked us up, Rueben was full of energy and generously shared information on all the sites visited, legends, and tall tales of the wild with us. Just moments after he mentioned he had yet to encounter a bear on his excursions, he spotted a young black bear, and we all saw it jumping up into a tree! We had just the right amount of time at each iconic stop and ended the day knowing we had a very comprehensive visit of the top sites in the Banff area. He shared additional recommendations with us for our remaining days. Thank you Rueben!
