Amazing experience - We chose this activity because we enjoy walking and our guide Scott was a perfect guide. He gave us so much interesting information about the mountains, the animal life and the plants. He totally brought this whole walking experience to life. Scott never rushed us and positively encouraged us to take breaks if we wanted to, ask questions and had a wonderful way of putting things over. We both felt our understanding of the area had been considerably enhanced thanks to this amazing tour and Scott's depth of knowledge.

Nice hike - Kohei did a great job on this tour, both on the trip to the lake and during the hike. The hike took us by beautiful scenery and was not too hard, 6km total with a small rock field to traverse. Lake Moraine was beautiful. It was busy at lake Louise.

A wonderful way to experience some of the most iconic scenery in Alberta. - Wonderful excursion to iconic scenic vistas for those able to navigate a moderately challenging hike over rugged terrain. Pablo is an excellent guide who provided lots of historical information about the areas we visited as well as identifying flora and fauna along the way.

Very nice hiking day - We had the pleasure to join the hiking trip with only one other couple. Therefore the trip felt like a private trip during which we got a lot of explanation on the Banff region, wildlife, flora etc.
Pablo and Sjuan (hope the spelling is correct) did all their best to take us on a hike to Lake Louis and Morraine Lake.
The final hike to the lunch spot at Consolation lake was very nice.
The hike is easy and open for all persons who have a basic condition and appreciate a sense of humor.
We highly recommend booking a trip with White Mountain Adventures.

first time to Banff - our guide, margaret, was super sweet and nice. she made our trip very pleasant.
a little more time to roam about at each lake stop would have been even better. overall happy we did it and highly recommend.

Excellent guide and a great day! - Emilio was our guide today and he provided excellent services. He was clear & detailed in his instructions and took care of every little things like making sure we knew how to use the hiking poles, and went in an orderly manner with the things we had to do, He is very knowledgeable and shared historical information about the place and guided us very safely through the rocky pathways. He gave us options on where to plan lunch etc. the picnic spot was a perfect place for lunch. He gave us ample time at every spot and was very kind & respectful. He did family pics and was super patient with all of us. Not to mention he drove safely and did all this with a very cheerful attitude. Thank you Emilio. It was a great to have him as our guide. Thank you from all is us.
