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!

    Joshua was an exceptional host whose professionalism and enthusiasm greatly enhanced the overall experience. His extensive knowledge, paired with a genuine passion for his work, was evident throughout the tour. He maintained a warm, engaging presence and made a concerted effort to connect with each guest individually, ensuring everyone felt welcomed and included. Notably, Joshua demonstrated remarkable attention to detail by quickly learning and remembering each guest’s name, reflecting a high level of dedication and pride in his role. The tour itself was truly breathtaking, offering a seamless way to explore multiple stunning attractions in a single day. Every aspect was well-organized and thoughtfully executed, contributing to a memorable and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to discover the beauty of Banff National Park in a comprehensive and unforgettable way.

    Alyson_C, Jul 2026
    Had a wonderful experience on this trip. Our tour guide, Heather, was knowledgeable, energetic and went out of her way to make sure our group had a great time. The scenery was beautiful. Wish we had more time to explore Banff, but it was worth the money.

    Book with Roger!

    yusuf_s, Jul 2026
    Roger was amazing, funny and very informative. He made the day very special for us and we would recommend him for anyone doing this trip! Thanks for making our trip to Banff special Roger. Moraine Lake is the most beautiful place I think I’ve seen

    Beautiful Banff

    It was amazing! Small group made it easier and our guide, Joshua was great!!!!! Very personable and told us about great spots in the area!

    Great way to see the popular Lakes

    MaryKatherine_B, Jul 2026
    Dan was a great guide very knowledgeable about the area. If you plan on hiking much at any of the stops this tour doesn’t give you a lot of time. You do get to see Lake Louise and Moraine lake but not enough time to do some of the popular hikes at each place. No time for canoes at Moraine but you can get in 30 minutes at Louise.

    Best Experience Ever!!!

    Chantale_M, Jul 2026
    Matt was very knowledgeable about our surroundings.. He shared many of stories and had me and my group laughing the whole time. You want someone who has stories to share to make your trip more memorable. I learned so much from him and I feel you should have more guides like him.. Hands down and amazing guide!!!

    Visions of natural beauty

    Allison_C, Jul 2026
    This tour was an excellent way to see multiple areas and get background history and information in a day. The beauty of Lake Louise, Lake Moraine & Banff were breathtaking. Our guide, Bob was well informed and entertaining.He also made sure we all got great photos at each spot.

    Lena_F, Jul 2026
    What a day! This tour was perfect for seeing the highlights of Banff! Our guide, Dan, was super informative, friendly, and professional. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone (groups or solo) who wants smooth access to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, as well as a chance to see some cool wildlife along the way. Thanks, Dan!

    Michiganders love Calgarions!

    Justine_S, Jul 2026
    Perfect day trip from Calgary for a girls trip. We LOVED our guide Heather who is a real calgarion!! She had great stories and wonderful information about the mountains and Banff area. The views and multiple stops were honestly unbelievable. Highly recommend this tour.

    Tour of Lake Louise, Lake Moraine and Banff

    We had such a great experience from pickup to drop off. Our tour guide Bob was funny, knowledgeable and took some great photos of us! Highly recommend this tour the views are stunning.

    Seeing the beauty of...

    Debra_T, Jul 2026
    Seeing the beauty of Banff was amazing! The drive was through gorgeous countryside. The lakes were amazing (minus the hundreds of people visiting too). There were so many people that our time there was too long and too short (1 hour at each stop). It was too long in that you were stuck in the sea of humanity and too short in that we felt we couldn’t get out of the main area to explore away from the crowds and get back to the van in time. Matt was an entertaining story teller and provided a lot of outdoor knowledge about the Banff area. We enjoyed our day.

    Great Experience!

    Anna_K, Jul 2026
    This tour was exceptional. From the size (only 24 people), to the great guide (Dave), to all the stops (tour is able to get into spots that private vehicles can't). Highly recommend.

    Beautiful views and...

    Brad_R, Jul 2026
    Beautiful views and convenience of not having to deal with parking. Matt provided entertaining stories and knowledge of the area. Very enjoyable experience and very personable.

    Little disappointed.

    Cindy_G, Jul 2026
    I spoke to other passengers and we all agreed, not enough time at each lake. And the van was small and crowded. I would strongly recommend that you should mention in your description that the opportunity to get lunch isn’t until 3:00 in Banff. We had breakfast at 7:00 a.m. If we knew we wouldn’t be eating until late afternoon, we would have brought food. There wasn’t enough time to walk around at the lakes, much less eat at the lakes too. For an experienced tour company, I’m very surprised and disappointed in the lack of disclosing such basic, yet important information.

    Excellent tour with a fabulous guide!

    Jill_F, Jul 2026
    Excellent tour to Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Banff and Bow Falls. Heather was a great guide, excellent knowledge of history and trivia and got us to our destinations safely and on time. She kept us busy with explaining all that we were seeing, keeping us entertained with quizzes, providing snacks and telling us all the good places to eat. She had everyone explain where they were from, and tried to form a cohesive group to watch out for each other. Heather provided a truly seamless and enjoyable trip, and we appreciated her exuberant sense of humor.

    Yay, Bob!

    Barbara_S, Jul 2026
    Bob was a good tour guide. He was competent, fun, and personable. However, the ac broke on the bus on the way back, which was very unpleasant in July.

    Fantastic full day tour

    Melanie_S, Jul 2026
    Melissa was a wonderful guide. Lake Moraine was incredible. Van was comfortable. Would definitely recommend to friends.

    Awesome trip!

    Rekha_M, Jul 2026
    Great experience and learned so many fun facts! Would highly recommend.to everyone. Ayla was awesome!

    Roger Went Above and Beyond

    Jennifer_A, Jul 2026
    Roger is an exceptional tour guide. Very knowledgeable and fun. I found the tour on Viator based on the amazing ratings and feedback. I would recommend this tour 100% if you just want a taste of some popular landmarks and be part of a small group. Not enough time spent at Banff so that would have to be a separate tour. Make sure to dress in layers, bring water, snacks, proper foot wear and don’t leave garbage in the van! Thank you Roger!

    The lakes and surrounding...

    Howard_B, Jul 2026
    The lakes and surrounding mountains were beautiful. Bow river falls were very cool and the current was so strong it created an actual rainbow look that spanned a small dip. Tour guide Mike told us great information the whole tour and plenty of tips to get the best views and pics of everything

    Great time. It's a good...

    MATTHEW_K, Jul 2026
    Great time. It's a good overview of the area, but you only get one hour at each place. We enjoyed the spots by traveling to our car and parking in the afternoon at lake louise, which is easy to do and taking the lake marine shuttle from the ski area, and then we're able to spend four hours at each and do the canoeing.

    Must do in Banff!

    Krunal_S, Jul 2026
    The tour guide Mike made the experience amazing. The early morning 4am tour might be over rated. We had similar great experiences in morning tour.

    Fantastic experience with...

    Oluwatobi_A, Jul 2026
    Fantastic experience with Banff Everyday Tours! Well-organized, great stops around Banff and Lake Louise, and our guide Joshua was a wonderful storyteller who made the trip feel personal and memorable. My wife and I left with amazing photos and even better memories. Highly recommend! If possible, ask for Joshua

    Excellent tour

    Abegail_G, Jul 2026
    We had an amazing tour today! Our driver and tour guide Joshua from Banff everyday tour was exceptional. He made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the trip. He was very knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information along the way. The experience was absolutely worth every penny we paid. I highly recommend this tour—101%!

    Average tour yet enthusiastic guide.

    C_J, Jul 2026
    It's a long drive from Calgary and the stops--especially the town of Banff--are whistle-stop short. The drop-off spot downtown is inconvenient and you'll need to ensure you know where to find parking as it is not available at the meet site.

    Excellent tour experience

    Yan_s, Jul 2026
    Our tour guides are highly experienced, passionate, and have a strong ability to engage and motivate others.

    Highly recommended

    tracy_F, Jul 2026
    Very well organized, we were on schedule the entire day, the tour guide was amazing; fun knowledgeable and very professional.

    Things were as described....

    karin_v, Jul 2026
    Things were as described. The stops and views were spectacular!! The 2 lake stops were heavy “tourist” areas but understandably why because of the beauty. Would have liked a little longer in town of Banff (we only had time to eat). Wish we would have had more time to walk around the town. Our guide Matt was entertaining and a wealth of knowledge esp about wildlife and stories about his experiences. He recommended Rose & Crown upper patio restaurant/bar in Banff for lunch. It was delicious, but again just not enough time to eat and wander. Thank you for a great day and memorable experience!!!
