Beyond breathtaking! - The trip was amazing. Even with just one day, felt like we have experienced some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Canadian Rockies. Special mention to Roger - who made our visit even more fun not only by showing us the lakes and town but also some local stories that we would have missed on our own.

Life changing experience - Amazing tour and remarkable guide Roger! Thumbs up for both! We first visited Lake Louise followed by Lake Moraine. Trip ended with making a stop at Banff National Park and taking iconic pictures overlooking Fairmont castle

Beautiful, but incredibly busy! - Despite a bit of a rainy day, I really enjoyed this tour. We owed this in particular to our friendly, enthusiastic Guide Kasondra; what a positive energy !! Moraine Lake was more beautiful than Lake Louise, but definitely worth a visit. What is very unfortunate is the huge crowds; you can almost literally walk over the heads.

Great way to see the highlights! - This tour was just right! Our guide Kasondra was amazing - very knowledgeable about the area, geology, wildlife, etc. Pacing was good - we got an hour each at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake and the guide was helpful in identifying which trails and activities were doable in that hour. We also got peeks at Cascade Ponds, Surprise Corner, and Bow Falls. We only had 2 days in Banff and this was the perfect way to ensure we saw the “must see” items without the hassle of driving, parking and/or waiting in the long lines for public transport.

Best Banff Tour - Stephen was hands down the best tour guide I could’ve asked for! He made my trip to Banff not only informative but truly fun. His passion for the area is contagious, and he shared amazing stories and little-known facts that made the experience feel personal and unique. He shared some breathtaking spots I couldn’t have found on my own, and his easygoing nature made everyone feel comfortable. Thanks to Stephen, this was one of the highlights of my trip!

TOTALLY WORTH IT....thank you Roger ! - This tour to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise was SO WORTH IT ! And I beleive that a big part of it was because of our driver and guide Roger. What a beautiful person ! So kind, respectful and informative. He is the Ian Hanomansing of the Rockies. He had quiz questions prepared, made us listen to good canadian songs and shared his experiences in the Canadian Rockies. The day passed quickly. Lac Moraine is just stunning...so beautiful it almost does not look real. Lake Louise is also a very beautiful place. Time at each destination was just perfect...not too short and not too long. I highly recommend this tour.

Great day trip with Roger, highly recommended - Had the pleasure of going on this tour with Roger as the guide, with a pick up from Calgary, before we headed off to pick up several other guests at Canmore. Along this part of the journey we got to take part in several rounds of Rogers quiz (which I unexpectedly got to be the quizmaster for, hopefully didn’t do too bad a job!), helping everyone get to know about each other a little, and some fun facts about the area too. The trip ran pretty much to schedule, despite some heavy Sunday traffic in Banff later on, with the first stop at Lake Moraine. It was the first of the really amazingly beautiful stops we made, with the hour there giving everyone time to go up the stone steps to the popular viewpoints of the Lake and take in the scenery. From there Lake Louise soon followed and it was here having a guide who has knowledge as Roger does helped with pointing out the best spots for pictures, as well as helping the group out with photos of them by the lake itself. The stop in Banff have enough time for a quick lunch and some gift shopping, and a taster of the torn for those who haven’t been there before, albeit on one of its busiest summer days. Quick stops at Bow Lake and Surprise Corner followed before the return journey to Canmore and latterly Calgary. Throughout the tour Roger was a great, personable and informative guide, both about the area in general and specific points to it and the stops we made, as well as giving some musical breaks so guests could take in the scenery that we passed through on the trip throughout the day, as well as taking time to chat to the guests at each stop, answer any questions and took good care throughout the day to make sure everyone was happy, down to volume of the music playlist and can temperature - and happily shared a few nice personal anecdotes along the way too! The tour was definitely the highlight of my holiday and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a great day out with some amazingly beautiful views of Alberta!

A Tour we shouldn’t miss! - We are very glad that we have selected this tour. It is definitely a lifetime experience one shouldn’t miss out. The organization was excellent from pick up to the drop off. Our tour guide and driver Robyn is very knowledgeable, engaging and fun to be with. We took a lot of photo and very much amaze with the beauty of Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. We also enjoyed exploring Banff Town although the time there I think is not enough for us to explore. The “icing on the cake” is knowing what is it at the Surprise Corner! We will definitely recommend this tour to our friends and relatives back home. Looking forward for next trip to Calgary/ Banff hopefully on another season!

Exquisite day with the family! - Robin is the best tour guide hands down! Upbeat, knowledgeable and passionate. A great first tour on our family’s first trip to Canada! With a mix of history and ghost stories, Robin kept the group engaged and interested. Super friendly, she really seemed interested in how the group was enjoying everything.
