No lack of lakes! - Great tour to Lake Louise, but for us, the trip to Moraine Lake was the highlight!
A but of a hike for the best views, but the surrounding ren peaks made it all worthwhile!
Go for it!

An early morning visit to the beautiful Lakes in Banff National Park - This trip is great. It's a small group and the tour guide, Chloe, was excellent. She gave us information on the area on the journey and then left us to explore the lakes as we wanted to. The lakes get very busy so the early start (07.30 pick up) was definitely worth it to beat the crowds and going as part of a tour meant no difficulty parking or queuing for buses and transfers between the lakes. I highly recommend it.

Buck was phenomenal - My family and I did our tour with Buck, and he was fantastic - A++++. From the beginning, he was funny, engaging and knowledgeable. We had a great time learning about the wildlife in Banff National Park, some of the different mountains, glaciers and what has been happening recently. He gave us exactly the times that we should be back, tips on what we needed to see and was helpful, answering all of our random questions. Thank you for an amazing tour. Pitter Patter, Buck!

Greatest tour guide ever! - Would rate this tour a definite 5
Jake was the best and most knowledgeable guide we had on our 4 day visit to Banff
He is informative and funny at the same time
Went out of his way to provide us with a first class tour
Charming and Good looking too.
Went above the call of duty and provided pictures, antlers and even a bear skin to bring nature closer to us on the tour.
Would definitely recommend you ask for him on your next tour! You will not be disappointed!

Great Service, Beautiful Views! - They picked us up at the Banff Train Station where there is tons of free parking. The bus was clean and comfortable. Our guide, Emma, was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a cloudy day (they have no control over that!), but we were able to enjoy seeing both lakes. They are stunning - especially Lake Moraine. The only way to see Lake Moraine is by shuttle, so we really appreciated being able to go there. MAYBE if you were staying at the lodge there, you could drive your own vehicle, but I’m not sure that’s the case.

Great Tour - This tour was a great way to see both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Our tour guide Brooke was great. My only complaint is that we wish we had more time to spend at each location.
