5.00I had a lovely day with our friendly tour guide Martin, our driver and our tour members. Lake Moraine was so beautiful, I would like to come back here again. As for the arrangements from the tour company, I really like our tour guide Martin, he is kind and humorous, he gave us many recommendations on the restaurant choice and viewpoints, which helps us to get everything done within limited time. I recommend this tour to everyone who is considering a visit to Banff.
A great and stress free way to see the sights!

5.00We absolutely loved our day visiting the lakes! I cannot say enough about our awesome tour guide Martin. He was spectacular in every way! Our tour coach driver Alex was also exceptional. This was a wonderful way to experience this side of Boehme and I’m so glad that we didn’t try and navigate it on our own.

5.00Visiting Lake Louise and Moraine Lake feels like stepping into two different masterpieces painted by nature. Each lake has its own charm, its own personality, and its own way of making you stop, breathe, and just take in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies. Both lakes are must‑see destinations. Lake Louise offers serene beauty and accessibility, while Moraine Lake delivers that jaw-dropping, once-in-a-lifetime view. Together, they showcase the very best of Banff National Park — pristine waters, majestic mountains, and nature that leaves you in awe.
Beautiful Scenery

5.00Martin was a wonderful guide. Very informative, made himself available to take photos and selected a wonderful playlist for us to listen to when he was not providing information. The lakes were all beautiful but Lake Moraine really stands out for its beauty. Would recommend this tour to anyone.

5.0010/10 so much fun!! It was totally worth the price for all of the stops we made, and there was a very good amount of time for each. The guide Martin was very jolly and friendly. He was also very knowledgeable, and gave us all the tips for the less busy places to get good. Everything was on time, and the bus was very nice. I totally recommend!!
