Excellent tour. No hassle with parking. Our tour guide, Roger, knew the area well and knew how to navigate the busy attractions and get us to the best spots for views and pictures. He supplied us with much information on this beautiful place and entertained us as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Banff is absolutely magical and our guide Mike was the best! Very knowledgeable, fun and interactive and great driver. Took us to the best spots, took great pics for us and gave us best tips in Banff Ave. Also *surprise* corner was worth the wait 😄.. Highly recommend this company!

    The view for both lakes are divine. The rock pile climb to the top of Lake Moraine is a real workout. If you are older I suggest you bring a cane or someone to hold on to during the climb. But you will not regret it getting to the top! Our guide Roger Roger is very knowledgeable and entertaining. You will love to have him drive you to the locations!

    Def go to Lake Louise

    Armand_M, Aug 2026
    Mostly riding in a multi-passenger van. The stop at Lake Louis was FABULOUS- climbing the “rock pile” was a highlight.

    Great tour

    Sam_W, Aug 2026
    Great trip, really good way to see all the sites. Our guide, Bob, was great company and really informative about all the locations. Would recommend as an easy and practical way to see Banff and the mountains

    Great tour! Very fun

    Andy_N, Aug 2026
    Excellent tour, very informative and fun. Our guide Heather was very friendly and funny. Will book again!

    Banf Tour

    Vikram_Y, Aug 2026
    The guided minibus tour of Banf and surroundings was excellent. Heather was thoughtful and pleasant to be around. She knew and shared her experiences of the area. Also gave some guidance on how to experience the natural beauty of the area and avoid excessive crowds.

    Unforgettable

    Jon_N, Aug 2026
    Relaxing, memorable, wonderful. Heather is an excellent tour guide . This is the tour you must take when you visit Banff

    Amazing tour with Mike

    Sophie_L, Aug 2026
    We adored our tour guide Mike and are so grateful he shared his wide variety of knowledge with our group. No question went unanswered and we're all in agreement his kind and friendly nature enhanced our experience.

    Perfect day trip to Banff

    Renata_S, Aug 2026
    An incredible tour with breathtaking views - I’ll never forget the beautiful blue lakes! And our amazing tour guide Aylah - she was so friendly and shared lots of interesting facts during the tour. Thank you so much for this experience!

    We had an incredible trip. Mike was amazing from start to finish. He shared so much local history and facts and made sure we had a lovely time. Would highly recommend❤️

    Highly recommend

    Tim_D, Aug 2026
    Due to crowds and limited parking, the tour was definitely the way to see the beautiful lakes and breathtaking mountains. The information was interesting.

    Did not get my money back...

    Halcyon_T, Aug 2026
    Did not get my money back as they location was too far for me. My first tour that I booked months in advance was canceled the night before and I flew to Calgary for this one day only to see Lake louise. Anyway found this one and needed to be picked up in Calgary but it all got mixed up. And talking with the tour guide he told me sorry but I will put you down as a no show which means no refund. Even knowing my situation. 😡

    Great way to see this area.

    Ruth_B, Aug 2026
    If you want a simple way to get to visit each of these sites, this is the way to go. Leslie was from the area and knew about the area. He was very friendly as well. You cannot get to Lake Moraine by car.

    Wonderful tour with superb tour guide Heather

    Yaroslav_K, Aug 2026
    Great tour with wonderful insights by the tour guide Heather. She made it all very friendly, personable and hugely informative. Heather was just outstanding in providing the group with lots of diverse information about different historical and geographic sites in Bannf National park and made the whole trip very enjoyable,

    Great Guide, Great Tour!

    Anna_R, Aug 2026
    Our guide Jeremy was great! We got to see amazing lakes, and he told us where to go for the best views!

    Great Day

    Thank you Bob for an amazing time! And your dad JOKES LOL Great experience! MOraine Lake was my favorite! ! Made some new friends too! Bob takes amazing pictures too! Definitely knows his angles!

    Heather was our tour...

    Carri2008, Aug 2026
    Heather was our tour guide for the day, and she was absolutely incredible! She was knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and genuinely passionate about what she does. From the moment the tour started, she made everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and included. She did an amazing job engaging the group with fun facts, interesting stories, jokes, and personal experiences. She shared insights about her country and culture in a way that made the tour feel unique and personal rather than just a standard sightseeing experience. She also took great photos for us, gave helpful tips, and pointed out all the little things she thought were worth knowing along the way. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was to everyone in the group. She took the time to get to know the attendees, made sure everyone was acquainted, and especially helped solo travelers feel comfortable and included. You could tell she genuinely cared about everyone having a great experience. I’ve taken tours all over the world, both solo and with family and friends, and a great guide can completely change the experience. Heather is definitely one of my top guides I’ve had. Her passion, personality, and knowledge made the tour so much more enjoyable and memorable. I would absolutely book this tour again—and hopefully you get Heather! She was fantastic and truly made the experience worth it.

    Great Day, Great Tour

    There were five places to go and we enjoyed all. Lake Louise was crowded, but had good restrooms. Moraine Lake was just as pretty, but less crowded. There was a nice walking trail which, in parts, went right down to the lake. There is a rock staircase, from which there is a very scenic view. The only downside was that restrooms were a few very old, run down porta potties. It took standing in a line for 20 minutes to use one.

    Guide provided...

    Adam_D, Aug 2026
    Guide provided information of what we were seeing. A great selection of sites visited with sufficient time to wander a little bit and enjoy the view. It comes down to the guide and ours was great.

    A great day out

    Phil_B, Aug 2026
    Our guide, Mike, poured a huge amount of energy into ensuring that his group of passengers had a perfect excursion into Banff National Park.

    Quick Fun Day Trip!!!

    Lissette_L, Aug 2026
    Heather was great! She gave us the best information/recommendations and stories/experiences on the way to our destinations. I was only in town for the weekend and I feel like this was the best day trip from Calgary. It was a bit smoky/cloudy but it was still so beautiful! Would definitely come back again and book this tour.

    Wonderful Banff Day Tour with a Great Guide!

    Arindam_G, Aug 2026
    A big thank you to our guide, Joshua from Banff Everyday Tours, for a wonderful day! He made sure we had a safe and enjoyable trip while exploring Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Banff. We really appreciated all the interesting stories, history, and local insights he shared along the way. A great experience overall; highly recommended!

    Joshua was a great tour guide

    Andrew_M, Aug 2026
    Joshua was an excellent guide and made the whole day such a great experience. He took us to Moraine Lake, Lake Louise and Banff, and was witty, knowledgeable and really attentive throughout the day. He had a great way of keeping things relaxed and fun while still making sure we got to see and experience everything. We really enjoyed our day with Joshua and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great guide!

    Great tour of Banff and the lakes.

    DeeDay, Aug 2026

    Lake Louise tour with Mike

    Alicia_M, Aug 2026
    Mike was great. He had so much knowledge with the history and geography of Calgary. Never a dull moment with Mike. He kept us entertained. Safe and great driver. Thanks Mike for the maple cookies and tea. The trivia questions were great.

    Amazing Lake Louise & Moraine Lake Tour

    Manish_V, Aug 2026
    The tour was very convenient and covered both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake (along with few other points and lunch time in downtown). We felt really lucky to have Heather as our guide! She reached out a day before to introduce herself and was very prompt in answering our questions, which immediately put us at ease for the next morning. Heather made a real effort to get to know everyone in the group, including the kids, and made sure everyone got to know each other as well. Throughout the day, she shared interesting insights about Banff and stories from her own travels, while keeping the experience relaxed and engaging. Our kids had a great time and even said it was one of the best tours they’ve been on! Beautiful places, a well-organized tour, and a wonderful guide. Highly recommend!

    Cody_W, Aug 2026
    My mom and I had a great time on this tour! Dave gave us plenty of information on Banff and threw in some jokes, which made the car ride more enjoyable. My only feedback would be that the time spent at the lakes was a little short mainly if you want to do the rowboat. With 1 hour dedicated to Lake Louise, it felt rushed since the line for the rowboats was about 15 minutes and we had to use the bathroom before. Overall still a great tour though!

    It was an awesome...

    Allison_R, Aug 2026
    It was an awesome experience. It made seeing Lake Louise and all the other stops easy and stress free. Would highly recommend. Bana was our guide and he did an amazing job.

    A Must Do Tour!

    Tim_H, Aug 2026
    The visit to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise were worth the two hour drive from Calgary! Absolutely incredible natural beauty, especially Moraine Lake. The hike up the Rock Pile was a bit daunting but worth it for the majestic view of the mountains and beautiful blue lake! Banff was quaint and very nice. Great food and drinks at The Park Distillery.

    LINJU_M, Aug 2026
    The trip was a wonderful experience. The guide Heather was mind blowing, she is 100% doing justice to ehat she does.

    Had an amazing experience with Bob!

    rits993, Aug 2026
    We had the most amazing experience at the Rockies and Bob was a great guide! He was extremely punctual, knowledgeable, and super engaging. Told us a lot of interesting stories, facts, and even some (dad) jokes to keep the whole ride lighthearted. The lakes were mesmerising, something you’d almost not believe that it’s real! The summer times can be crowded but totally worth it to catch the best colours. The most beautiful place we’ve visited in our lives.
