Easy way to see everything

Amazing tour of three lakes and a natural bridge, plus beautiful views of both national parks and guided history! Perfect way to get around and not have to deal with any of the logistics/shuttles yourself. Steve was the coolest guide.

A Value Packed Experience!

This was one of the best activities we did during our Canada visit! Our guide, Steve, was phenomenal—his narration during the tour was fun but also very informative which we appreciated. He made sure we knew the best places to view all of the lakes. We were extremely pleased with everything from pick-up to drop-off!

Breathtaking Views and an Amazing Guide with Steve

We had an amazing experience on our Lake Louise and Moraine Lake day trip! Steve was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress free. His insights and enthusiasm added so much to the trip. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Steve!

Only way to go!!

Definitely the best way to see these lakes… Steve was an awesome guide… gave the itinerary clearly, set our “times allowed” clearly and made the tour fun! We felt like we had plenty of time at each stop and he gave us”pro tips” to send us to the best viewing spots. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! (Only complaint is that we tried to contact the company at the number given for “contact if you would like to arrange hotel pick-up” and no one ever answered the phone. Van drove right past our hotel and a quick pick-up would have been awesome. So… if not going to answer phone or if hotel pick ups not an option, don’t offer it on your site.). So, other than that (which is management, not tour guide)… this tour has been amazing and perfect!!

Beautiful Lakes & Mountains with exceptional service

Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and Emerald Lake were the highlight of our trip to Banff. The lakes were beautiful and the mountains were breathtaking! Lisa was the best guide! She took care of all of our needs and made sure that all passengers were taken care of! She definitely went above and beyond to make the entire experience a 10/10!
