An absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. Booking was stress free. Josh was organized, knowledgeable, engaging, humorous and attentive to every guest in the group. Every stop on the itinerary was well timed and the experience far exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend this organization. I will definitely book thru Viator on future travel.

    A good idea

    Stephen_N, Sep 2026
    We chose this after realizing that these sites would be very hard to visit with your car. As an added, plus we could be picked up in Calgary As it turned out the tour guide was fantastic and the experience well worth it.

    Great overview trip of the area!

    Marsha_S, Sep 2026
    This was a great overview of many must see spots. The trip was well organized, and our driver Dave was both knowledgeable and entertaining.

    Calgary Delight…Alberta is beautiful!

    Roger_D, Sep 2026
    Amazing scenery and our guide Bob was the best guide ever!!!! We enjoyed the drive and the climb to the top of the lookout at the lake! Banff was such a nice surprise…such a quaint little bustling town!

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 😊 We’re so happy to hear you had such a great day with Bob . We’ll definitely make sure he sees your kind words! The scenery in the Rockies really is something special, and that climb to the lookout makes the view even more rewarding! And we agree, Banff has such a unique charm and energy. Thanks for spending the day with us, and we hope to see you back in the Rockies again someday!

    Morraine Lake & Lake Louise with lunch in Banff.

    Better to be driven through the area than miss a second of the scenery while driving. Spectacular views;

    Great time, beautiful views!

    Sandra_A, Sep 2026
    Bob was very informative and funny. Enjoyed the beautiful views! Got so many pictures and met great people!

    Great day visiting Banff

    Amber_N, Sep 2026
    The tour was perfection. Our tour guide Bob was the best. He made the day so enjoyable! The day was great from start to finish.

    Great way to see key spots in the Rockies

    Alison_P, Sep 2026
    Well organised. Good communication from guide. An excellent way to see the iconic sites of the Rockies without the hassle of parking or organising transfers.

    Jamie_B, Sep 2026
    Our tour guide was Melissa. She was very engaging, interesting and kept us going!! The only issue we had was the bus size. Since all seats were taken, it was bit tight!

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your day with Melissa and found her engaging and entertaining. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to her! Regarding the seating, every guest who books with us is guaranteed a seat. As this is a shared group tour, seating is first come, first served, and on a full tour the vehicle can naturally feel a little more cozy. 😊 We appreciate your understanding and hope the beautiful Rockies made it all worthwhile! Thank you for joining us!

    Georgous and fun

    Nicole_V, Sep 2026
    Our guide Bob (did I spell his name backwards? Lol) was great! He was very knowledgeable, friendly and funny. The lakes were phenomenal! Highly recommended.

    Pleasantly surprising.

    Dolores_B, Sep 2026
    The tour was much more than I expected (not being enamored with group tours) and I would recommended it to anyone going to Banff/Lake Louise. We were able to get into Lake Moraine which can be considered "full" at times. We had a very comprehensive day with a local, professional guide who has been a park ranger as a career. The pace was good and the stops were well chosen. It was a small group and every effort was made to get to know our fellow travelers. Dave was the best and it would be great if everyone had the opportunity to be in his group. We boarded at a hotel in Calgary and I was dreading the "long" ride from there and back, but it didn't seem long at all. There were still interesting things to see along the was and Dave made the time go very fast.

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We especially love hearing that from someone who doesn’t normally enjoy group tours. 😊 Dave truly has a way of making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations, and we’re so happy his knowledge, stories, and personality made the day special for you. We’ll definitely make sure he sees your wonderful comments! Thank you for trusting us with your day in the Rockies and for recommending us to future travelers. We hope to welcome you back again someday!

    Bob is awesome!!

    Preti_C, Sep 2026
    Bob was AMAZING, super thoughtful, knowledgeable, and down to earth. 10/10 would come back and book with him again!!

    Debra, Sep 2026
    We had a fun day with our driver and guide Mike, he was knowledgeable and funny making our day memorable. The lakes are breathtaking with their turquoise clear water and stunning scenery. I enjoyed the commentary about formation and differences in Rocky Mountains peaks as we travelled through them. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

    Banghwa_C, Sep 2026
    Our guide Dave was awesome. Very knowledgeable, funny, and entertaining, making the tour educational and fun. Highly recommended!

    BANFF lake Louise and morraine day tour was amazing!

    Alice_Y, Sep 2026
    Pickup was smooth. Our driver and guide, Heather was amazing. She makes us comfortable by introducing the whole group of u. Making sure we have her cellphone incase we are lost. Heather has great knowledge about Banff and we are so happy to book this tour to learn more along the way, instead of self driving on our own. Heather is also humorous and kept us entertained during the trip. Overall, we covered what we need to and the tour was definitely worth it.

    Bob and the Lakes

    Suzette_G, Sep 2026
    Bob was the best Tour guide. He brought the energy, corny jokes, helpful insight. He had great energy. The lakes were beautiful! Well organized. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for BOB (spelled backwards, inside joke).

    Our daughter had booked this tour for us and it did not disappoint! Dave our guide was entertaining, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. FYI - we are 76 and 78!

    Must Activity to Book when in Canada

    Abigail_M, Sep 2026
    As the title says, these are must-see places when you go to Alberta. You get to visit so many beautiful places such as Lake Moraine and Lake Louise, along with other stops along the way. Our guide was Dan, and he was such a delight! Very knowledgeable about the history of Canada and the stops that we had. He was also comedic and made us feel very comfortable throughout the trip. The only downside I would say is that the van we traveled in was a bit cramped, but that’s because we were at full capacity and it’s something that can’t be controlled. Got to get a lot of great shots of the view with our camera and we are just so glad we booked this tour!

    Exceptional service

    Lilian_K, Sep 2026

    Response from Host, Sep 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’d just like to clarify that lunch and bottled water are not included in this tour, as clearly stated in the tour description and inclusions/exclusions provided before booking. We do, however, provide free time in Banff where guests have plenty of options to purchase lunch, drinks, and anything else they may need.

    Rebecca_W, Sep 2026
    We had looked forward to seeing the Banff/Lake Louise/Lake Moraine areas for years after friends raved about it. This highlight day trip gave us a wonderful taste of what this area of Alberta has to offer. Joshua was an excellent tour guide - funny and knowledgeable. He kept us updated and gave tips and tricks to navigate the experience. The price could not be beat, and we enjoyed our fellow tour mates. Overall, a wonderful experience!

    Banff trip

    Randee_L, Sep 2026
    If you go on this beautiful spectacular tour be sure to request Joshua the tour guide. he was amazing from the moment we stepped on the bus. Extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. These two lakes are magnificent. Would have liked to have spent more time in the town of Banff.

    Stunning views

    nikole_m, Sep 2026

    Banff/Lake Moraine

    Shalonda_R, Sep 2026
    Joshua was an amazing tour guide, he is also very knowledgeable. It was my birthday and Joshua had the entire bus sing to me and that made my day for sure. He also provided us with snacks.

    Fun, relaxed, insightful day!

    Jerri_D, Sep 2026
    Our tour guide Heather was amazing. The tour was everything we could have hoped for! Heather gave us great information and kept the day running smoothly. Both lakes were breathtakingly beautiful. I’m glad we did a tour rather than trying to navigate the roads and parking etc on our own.
