An enjoyable and fully recommended tour.

We all had a great day on the tour with Emily and Ben. The scenery was as spectacular as expected. The icing on the cake was the excellent meal we had at Emerald Lake, Emily's help and guidance and Ben's wonderfully listenable descriptions and storytelling. Definitely recommended!

A Packed Day Out!

We did this trip and then immediately transferred on to Calgary with Brewsters. Pick up from hotel in Banff and drop off at hotel in Calgary. Driver and host were excellent - very informative and entertaining. We crammed a lot of great sights into the day - Lake Louise, Lake Moraine and Lake Emerald - where we had a delicious hot buffet lunch included. We also visited the Natural bridge, the Spiral Tunnels (where we waited to see a train go through) and the Takakkaw falls (which are accessed from a road with a switchback and the bus had to reverse up one section!). Given we had a lot of stops we had enough time at each location. Very enjoyable trip. This was our second trip with Brewsters and we found them to be very professional and well organised. Highly recommend this company and tours.

Outstanding lake views in the Canadian Rockies

This tour was a highlight of my weeklong trip to the Canadian Rockies. In particular, Moraine Lake is not to be missed. It is breathtakingly beautiful. Emerald Lake, where we had lunch at the lodge, also was beautiful and the lunch was delicious. Takkakaw Falls was very impressive. Caution: the walk ip the rocky trail was steep and challenging (walking up dozens of large rocks with sharp edges and no railing). Our driver (Nate) did a good job with narration, but I didn’t appreciate some of his jokes or the fact that he did not allow the student guide (Harry) to speak much during the entire trip. This was in comparison to a Brewster tour. I have been on the day before.

Great driving skills

The driver, Matthew Rogers, showed incredible skill manoeuvring the coach around hairpin bends. The tour guide, Macey, was knowledgeable and helpful.
