BEN, thank you for being an amazing guide and driver ☺️☺️🙏 My sister and I had an amazing time. Gorgeous views, pleasant dialogue, and a smooth ride. There was plenty of time between stops. Definitely much easier than trying to transit around on your own (huge bus lines even during off-peak season)- worth every dollar!

Bus was on time to pick up exactly where they said they were gonna be and the whole tour was very efficient! Moraine Lake was a true highlight of our trip and Lake Louise was great too. Very organized and having a smaller bus was a nice treat as well!

    Parking heads up

    Jennifer_S, Jun 2026
    If people who are taking this tour aren’t staying in a hotel near the pick up site, knowing that you have to look for street parking/parking lot would be helpful in planning your arrival (we totally lucked out and got a near by parking on the street)

    The shuttle is really...

    Joycelyn_T, Jun 2026
    The shuttle is really convenient way to go into lake Louise and lake moraine. We were unable to secure the public bus shuttle and managed to book this one day before our trip. Our guide David is amazing and friendly, highly recommend!

    Awesome experiences to see the natural beauty of nature

    Merilyn_M, Jun 2026
    It was relaxing as the tour guide was friendly and funny. Easy access to both Lakes. Enjoying the magnificent scenery and the magical views. It’s breathtaking!!!

    Great time

    Clara_N, Jun 2026
    Good time frame. We were able to see the lakes and had ample time to enjoy the area. Great advice from Sean at each site.

    Lake Moraine is AMAZING!!

    Phillip_M, Jun 2026
    Definitely climb the rock mound at Lake Moraine…it’s a walk but it’s worth every step!! The view is AMAZING!! Lake Louise is Great as well but after seeing Lake Moraine from the top of the rock mound…

    Nathaniel_C, Jun 2026
    The driver, Cyrus is very nice. The shuttle is good, comfortable and clean. I recommend this to anyone looking for travel in the future.

    Nice tour

    Laura_D, Jun 2026
    I wish we had another 30-45 minutes at each lake. Ken was very communicative but had too much patience with late people. He had no fun facts or personal stories while driving.

    Better tour company choices available

    Sue_G, Jun 2026
    Beautiful locations but very busy. It’s a large bus but not the most comfortable and no charging outlets. My advice would be to go in a tour with a smaller bus. We started in Canmore and picked up people in Banff which took time. The air conditioning above the seat wasn’t working. The driver wasn’t very good - he jumped the curb one time and kept going over the rumble strips. We were held up as he tried to figure out a light on the dashboard - eventually he got another driver to help him. He arrived late and complained about a previous guest using the toilet. He was more of a driver than a tour guide and didn’t seem to have prepared information about key places. Nice friendly guy but lacking in training on how to be a tour guide. He mentioned tips twice which is off putting. He let a woman travel on board without a ticket - she claimed she got on at lake Louise and now needed a trip back from moraine lake to Banff. I don’t recall her getting on the bus at Lake Louise.

    These lake views do not disappoint!

    Tracey_I, Jun 2026
    Dress for the weather and wear good hiking shoes. Best to visit off season and early in the day as crowds could really dampen this experience. We went in June and it was already pretty busy.

    Nice, easy trip up to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake

    Debra_B, Jun 2026
    We were staying down in Banff and wanted to make sure we saw Lake Louise and Moraine Lake while we were visiting. I could not get a seat on the Parks Canada shuttle so this is the next best thing! Our guide - Louis - was very informative and helpful and helped make the 45 minute ride up and back go quickly!

    Beautiful lakes to visit, driver and bus struggled

    Dawn_A, Jun 2026
    The lakes were absolutely beautiful! Perfect amount of time to explore. The driver struggled a bit, which was unnerving. Had an issue with the brakes, had to call a mechanic to walk in through how to access them properly and was barking at other drivers in traffic. Would not take a tour with him again.

    The commentary for this...

    Debraann_H, Jun 2026
    The commentary for this tour was amazing, the driver’s friendliness was wonderful Scenery was beautiful.

    Too hot on bus

    Joanne_B, Jun 2026
    No A/C on bus, driver kept driving on rumble stripe on the edge of the highway…. Scary and loud vibrations

    Worth it!

    Ted_H, Jun 2026
    Driver was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area . Van was very clean and comfortable The driver turned up the temp s0 made more comfortable

    We had a great time!

    VAN_N, Jun 2026
    We really enjoyed the experience with our bus driver Louis, he was also a great tour guide with history insight. Would recommend to anyone wanting to do a quick tour of the two famous lakes.

    Great Experience

    Genevieve_C, Jun 2026
    The driver was very nice, and the overall experience was very good. I would definitely use this service again. Everything was smooth and on time.

    Great view of lakes

    Alan_S, Jun 2026
    The view of the lakes was amazing. The trip to and from we didn't hear any dialog from the driver with the exception of one time. She could have shared so much with us but didn't take advantage of opportunity.

    Wonderful Experience

    Melissa_M, Jun 2026
    Timed perfectly. Louis the driver was very informative. Job well done. If you want an easy shuttle experience, I would recommend this one.

    Funny and friendly tour...

    kristofferson_c, Jun 2026
    Funny and friendly tour guide. Very informative and great experience with family. Driver is punctual. Great service.

    Banff ToDo

    Jaynard_L, Jun 2026
    Lou was very accommodating and knowledgeable, giving us a great history and overall experience. Would highly recommend Banff ToDo when doing Lake Louise and Morraine Lake shuttle service.

    Nice memorable trip

    Vinay_K, Jun 2026
    Tour guide Louis was good. Clear audio in the bus mic/speaker. A minor snafu in the beginning when he was give a different itinerary by his company, but got sorted out. Lake Louis and Lake Moraine were pure heaven!

    Be prompt and bring a...

    Sharyn_M, Jun 2026
    Be prompt and bring a camera since there will be beautiful views! May want to bring a layer depending on time of year.

    Absolutely visit Lake Louise while in Banff!

    Glenn_P, Jun 2026
    Know before you go the dates Moraine lake is closed as the tour guide had discretion on an alternate location which we did not care for (too much uphill hiking) but heard it was nice. Tour guide Louis was friendly and appreciated his history of the area, i.e Lake Louise, native inhabitants, etc. Didnt care for him sharing so much personal info. Good driver but his microphone/speaker stopped working so folks in the back missed what he was saying.

    Poorly done. Try another company.

    Leslie_C, Jun 2026
    Sadly, we had a very poor experience with David the driver on this tour. There are many other options to see this area and you should definitely avoid this company. Poorly done.

    A lovely time exploring Banff!

    Maryclare_M, May 2026
    Although we were disappointed that we weren't able to go to Lake Moraine because the road was still closed, we had a really nice time going to Lake Louise, where we walked around for an hour and then off to Johnston Cannon. JC was a memorable experience with the canopy of trees and rushing water. The prize was the end of the lower fall at the cave.

    Fantastic!

    Damian_C, May 2026
    Samuel was extremely funny, but wished we had more time at each attractions including lunch… We had a great time!

    Samuel was great and fun...

    NITINKumar_D, May 2026
    Samuel was great and fun driving around the scenic drive. I would be coming back to Alberta and book my ride with banff to do.

    Rocky Mountain adventure

    John_W, May 2026
    The whole tour was amazing. Our guide Ben was knowledgeable and friendly! One of the best guides we have had.
