Dan was my tour guide for this trip. He is very knowledgeable about Banff and provided very insightful introduction and explanation along the way. He is very passionate about his role and answered a lot of our questions with great patience. He also offered 2 extra places for us to visit since our group was right on top of the schedule. He did above and beyond and I truly recommend everyone to take Banff Trip with this provider.

It was enjoyable and beautiful. First we were picked up by Murray downtown and off we went to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The drive is so scenic and the weather was gorgeous. Later on we transferred into another van. Rick was our driver. He took us to Peyto Lake and Bow Lake. These lakes are totally different from the other two. The views were breathtaking. At the end we spent 90 minutes in Banff which is a beautiful village with lots of restaurants and stores.
I recommend this tour. Just wish they had picked us ip and dropped off at our downtown hotel. I found out at tge end of the tour that the do stop at our hotel.

Visiting the glaciers, mountains & the Great Lakes near Calgary was truly unforgettable. What made it even more special was our guide, Patrick. He’s not only knowledgeable but also incredibly engaging—blending science, a touch of fiction, and fascinating history into every story he shares. His energy and passion kept us inspired throughout the journey, making each stop feel alive with meaning. It wasn’t just sightseeing—it was learning, laughing, and being motivated all at once.

Great trip, well organized. The tour guide Gord was very engaging, and funny. I would recommend this trip to others.
Kari_S, Aug 2025
If you want to have a quick visit to Banff along with catching beautiful views of glaciers, mountains and magical lakes, this is the trip for you! We had an amazing time with Gordon! He made sure everyone got pictures of themselves with beautiful backdrops. He gave just the right amount of information without making it boring, along with a lot of laughs. He made everyone on the tour bus feel comfortable with one another without making it awkward. Gordon was great and so was the tour itself! Definitely recommend to anyone!
Molly_B, Jun 2025
The weather was beautiful, we met fantastic people, and Kevin, our tour guide, was the best! My daughter and I had a great day and we owe it to Kevin. He knew exactly where the best picturesque sightseeing places were, and he had great stories- had us all laughing throughout the day! Kevin knew this area so well that we always seemed to be ahead of the crowds, especially in Banff, which was nice. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to start our mother/daughter trip than with this excursion led by Kevin.

The best tour if you want to have an overview of the best places in the Rockies. Our guide Dan was amazing! It was a long day but I really really enjoyed everything. Worth the price.
Response from Host, Jun 2025

Glad to hear that you enjoyed your day!

Patrick our tour guide was timely and personable, fantastic to tour with and had a wealth of knowledge on local flora, fauna and other hot tips in and around the Calgary, Canmore and Banff areas.
I had struggled to find a tour that included Peyto Lake as well as the other main lakes (Moraine & Louise). I know Peyto is little less popular but I recall dreaming of seeing Peyto Lake when booking my trip to Canada - so was pleased I could see all on the same tour, bucket list made!
Affordable, comfortable transport and breathtaking views - definitely recommend!
Clarissa_M, Sep 2024
The places we went to were beautiful and breathtaking. Our tour guide/driver, Gordon was great and very friendly and funny and gave us history for each place we visited and much more. He was even considerate when some of us were late, especially us when we went to a different parking area and he drove there to pick us up. Overall it was excellent except that the washrooms were stinking and dirty in most of the places we visited. I hope this will be improved to make the overall experience wonderful.
Yoto_Y, Sep 2024
The best memorable trip so far! Saw Louise, Moraine, Peyto and Bow lakes, visited Canmore and Banff. Admired Rockies and glaciers. Gordon was fun and knowledgable. Booking went seamless, pick up on time and the whole trip was great organized with delicious meals and water. I would warmly recommend the trip and the company.
Konstantina_Y, Sep 2024
Amazing trip, breathtaking scenery. Gordon, our guide, is very knowledgable, entertaining and welcoming. We visited Louise, Moraine, Bow and Peyto Lakes. We saw glaciers and spent great time in Canmore and Banff. We had delicious dinner in Banff and bought souvenirs. I would warmly recommend the company and the trip. Thank you for the memorable day!

It was a small group and managing a stop was efficient. Gordon did a great job of explaining what we were visiting and the tour had plenty of time at each stop. It was a 12 hour tour, plenty of stops with washroom breaks. If you want to see the Lake Louise and Banff area in one tour, this is the tour to take.
Kevin_H, Sep 2024
Great trip overall, and our guide, Gordon, was fantastic! The stops were absolutely beautiful and well worth it. A personal preference of mine would be to switch the allotted times between Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, i.e., more time at Moraine Lake and less time at Lake Louise.
Small group size limited to 10 people was great and very manageable. My only suggested improvement would be to utilize a shuttle type bus instead of a large van. Our van was configured for 10 passengers, plus the front passenger seat for an 11th, but very crowded for 9 average sized customers on this trip. Viewing opportunities while riding were limited to your particular window.
Overall, a fantastic trip and I would do it again. The customer service and amenities provided were spot on.
PRIYANKA_S, Sep 2024

Patrick was a safe driver and story teller. Missed the Glacers part as it was not in the actual itinerary.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Hi Michael, the Icefiekds Parkway is full of glaciers. You can see Bow Glaciers, Crowfoot Glacier, Victoria Glacier, Peyto Glacier, and a couple more, not sure how you missed them.
Were you looking for a specific glacier? Let me know next time you're in Banff and I'll lt you know if we go there or not.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
Kevin

Tour guide provided interesting information and was very helpful. It was a long day but very enjoyable and the visits to lakes were amazing.
Michelle_A, Jul 2024
I enjoyed all the places we went to from Canmore, Lake Louise, Peyto Lake, Moraine Lake to name a few. Our tour guide Patrick shared some history of some of the place and the driver Melvin is also helpful.
