Banff To Do made our visit to Moraine Lake & Lake Louise super easy. Oscar was friendly & knowledgable-taking us to Moraine Lake first before the crowds picked up. We had around 45-60 mins in each location, enough time to walk the rockpile at Moraine Lake & rent a canoe at Lake Louise. Van was air conditioned, clean & spacious. Would definately recommend

    Awesome

    Elaine_D, Oct 2026
    Lou was our guide. He was funny and informative! The tour bus was on-time as well.keep up the good work.

    Poor excuse for a tour.

    Ronald_G, Oct 2026
    Tour guide was very poor (no information) Bus was a crowded 12 passenger. Just basically transportation. Would have been much cheaper and more comfortable using a city bus.

    Awesome trip and driver!

    jared_l, Oct 2026
    Great little excursion, especially for the fall season! Louis, our driver was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and personable.

    The locations were amazing but the van was a mess, the microphone didn’t work and the windows fogged to the point you could not see out the windows.

    Must see!

    Teddi_L, Sep 2026
    This was the perfect trip for us. The van picked us up in Canmore and we were able to see both lakes with plenty of time to spend at each location. Our guide Olivia kept us entertained and gave fun facts. I would highly recommend it.

    Reasonable priced bus service

    JOyce_D, Sep 2026
    This is only a bus service. No tour guide. We got about 1 hour at lake Louise and 1 hour at lake Moraine.

    This was my least...

    Cari_P, Sep 2026
    This was my least favorite of all the tours It felt a little rushed and of all the tours was the only tour guide that didn’t engage with the group or tell us information- would not do this one again. We ended up doing the hop on and off bus another day and the experience was much better and cheaper!

    Moraine Lake is a must...

    Leena_Y, Sep 2026
    Moraine Lake is a must and Lake Louise is beautiful as always. It was very comfortable and the travellers can truly enjoy both lakes.

    Caution!

    Raymond_K, Sep 2026
    Shuttle ride. Our driver provided no information other than when to return to van. Banff-to-go cancelled our original time of 8AM and gave us choice of 2PM or 8AM the following day. As we had no availability the following day, we selected the 2PM option. Moraine lake was fine. Lake Louise at 5:30 is not nearly impressive due to sun location at that time. We were told the reason for the cancellation was a vehicle issue. My opinion is that it was intentional consolidation to fill the van.

    As pretty as any picture you have seen.

    BRENDA_L, Sep 2026
    Two very beautiful lakes. We were with a tour group and would loved to have more time to hike around and explore. Glad we had the opportunity to see these gorgeous lakes.

    It was good. Our driver...

    It was good. Our driver was nice. He dropped us off at our hotel. Lakes were beautiful. I have nothing to say

    Barbara_C, Sep 2026
    Louis was a great guide. Regaled us with stories and information about the area. Was very prompt and professional as well as friendly and caring. We enjoyed him. He was also a very good driver. Unfortunately the weather was not the best so we could not see Lake Louise at all but Lake Moraine was beautiful even though cold and rainy.

    It is a shuttle, not a...

    Julie_S, Sep 2026
    It is a shuttle, not a guided tour, but our driver gave us lots of information anyway. We felt there was sufficient time at both stops to walk leisurely to the lakes, take plenty of pictures and still be back in the time allotted. Both stops are accessible by walker or wheelchair.

    Great for large group with kids

    Amy_Z, Sep 2026
    We were a large group of 10 (6 adults, 4 young kids) travelling together. There was very little chance of securing the Parks Canada tickets for such a large group. If you simply want to see the 2 lakes for a short period of time (75min each), this tour would be a hassle-free option. The shuttle ride was pleasant and we were able to store our baby strollers inside the shuttle while we visited the lakes.

    Amazing Lakes

    Renee_S, Sep 2026
    This was a great way to see both lakes without the hassle of finding parking and waiting in the long line for the shuttle bus.

    Day with Lou

    Camster_C, Sep 2026
    That if you were really on a time schedule, that you will not keep it, because people drag up many minutes after the deadline

    Blue lake

    Danielle_N, Sep 2026
    The bus driver was good but maybe could have been more elaborate on the views on the way based on other ventures

    Moraine Lake and Lake Louise with Ease.

    Marc_T, Sep 2026
    It was definitely the best way to see Moraine Lake and Lake Louise. There was no hassle about parking and we had time to hike both lakes.

    Lovely day out. The guide...

    Ian_S, Sep 2026
    Lovely day out. The guide was very knowledgeable and plenty of time was allowed. Only negative is that this trip when organised through Viator only had the one pickup point in Banff which was 1.5 miles away from our accommodation, meaning taxis were needed.

    Bad Weather…

    Peter_H, Sep 2026
    Our preferred slot was cancelled due to vehicle issues. We were given the option of later that day or another day. As we were leaving Banff the next day we had no choice but to take the later slot. As weather conditions were poor we would have preferred to cancel but there was no cancellation option. Additionally, anyone over 5’10’ tall would struggle with the leg room in the transport…

    Great experience

    Matthew_W, Sep 2026
    Bus was on time and honestly 1 hour at each spot was the perfect amount of time for us, since we were trying to do so many activities in 1 day. Would definitely do this again

    Visit to lake Louise and Moraine Kake

    Eric_B, Sep 2026
    The transport to and from Lake Louise and Moriaine Lake was without incident. Our driver was competent and friendly. My lack of high marks was because the driver was also to be a tour guide. There was no interesting information on the areas we were driving through nor on the lakes we visited. I expected a guide to offer information not just be a driver. That part was disappointing.

    Lake louise and moraine for 1 hour each

    Josh_W, Aug 2026
    The trip itself was as advertised. You get 1 hour in each spot. It is a 24 seat mini bus. We got a canoe at moraine lake. Its 170/hr and we were on it for about 40 minutes before rushing back to the shuttle. The driver was excellent. Very friendly. Very safe. Now aside for the actual trip..I booked for 820am and the day before I was asked to reschedule for 14:25 due to a bus breakdown. Kind of screwed up my plans for my banff stay but they accommodated me and it is what it is.

    Very time and money...

    vaibhav_s, Aug 2026
    Very efficiently conducted trip, both in terms of time and money. It gives exactly the right amount of time for every activity....

    A very enjoyable experience

    Adilia_C, Aug 2026
    Our guide/driver was very friendly. He shared a lot of useful information with us. It was a very enjoyable experience. The lakes so gorgeous and we also had a nice sunny day.

    Worthy tour

    diana_p, Aug 2026
    Our Driver, Louis, was excellent. With His work expérience hé spoke of, we felt safe and IT was obvious when hé was driving. Hé gave us some interesting facts about the géologue of the lakes etc., in terms that made IT easy to understand! Hé prioritized which Lake to visit first, based on His expérience. Seeing the lakes, in comfort, convinience of pick-up location, made the tour well worth IT!

    Driving was nice but too short time at Lake Louise

    Tomoyo_Y, Aug 2026
    The driver was nice and friendly, but although the tour description says 1 and half hours at each location, we only got one hour. Moraine lake was maybe enough for one hour, but we wish we had more time at Lake Louise. We could only take some pictures there and didn't have much time to walk around and enjoy enough of the amazing scenery.
