Nice way to spend a day - Our driver/guide Jackson did a great job and kept us on track and on time. Nice way to see Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Johnston Canyon and Banff without the hassle of driving and trying to figure out the public transport options.

Banff and surrounds experience tour... - The tour with driver 'Rhonda' was superb. Covered each aspect of the tour with informative and experienced commentary. Kept to a time schedule which pleased all guests. Made accommodations for all travellers with varying levels of mobility. Assisted with tips, guide information and suggestions that made tourists feel welcomed and valued during explorations. A worthwhile day and a big thankyou to Rhonda and the team at 'Banff to do' for providing such a worthwhile experience. - Visitors from Australia - Sept. 2024

Perfect tour to get to see the highlights of Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, and Johnston Canyon in one afternoon! - This was the perfect way to get to see the highlights of Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, and Johnston Canyon! Just enough time to take in the beauty of all 3 places, to grab a snack, and to determine where we’d like to spend more time hiking and exploring on a future visit. I also really enjoyed learning all the fun facts about the area that our guide shared along the way.

Long but wonderful! - Warning: it was a very long and full day in a bus but thought getting able to see some of the must-sees in Banff made it completely worth it. Moraine Lake is by far the best. All stops were very crowded, especially Johnston Canyon…but if you’re limited on time and need to go to all stops in one day, this is the one for you.
