This small-group morning tour offers guaranteed access without the stress, with a focus on connection—to nature, to place, and to a more relaxed style of travel.

Then, stand in awe of Moraine Lake’s vivid blue waters and the towering Ten Peaks, learning what makes this valley so special beyond the photos.

Great way to see both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. This is a must do. The pick-up was on time and the guide provided information about Banff on the drive up to the lakes.
Lake Moraine was stellar....

Lake Moraine was stellar. Lake Louise was beautiful as well but no comparison in the day we were there
Great tour that’s worth the price to get the best experience for what could be the only time you visit.

We had a great time and were fortunate to have Alex as our guide. He provided excellent service, from providing history of the area to even taking photos of tour members at the best spots based on his experience. The duration of the visit to each lake was enough to take pictures and explore the lake areas, get a drink, and use the bathroom if needed. We also stopped along the way to take in other vantage points and view animals when they popped out of the woods. Light snack and water were also provided. Highly recommend this tour and if you get Alex, consider yourself lucky. A+++++
Perfect morning.

Roz was the best tour guide we have had all week. Knowledgeable with history of the area and making it enjoyable. The views we saw were amazing. We did the steps to lake Moraine. Even though it was a little hard for a 61 year old with bad knees I would do it again. The view was spectacular.
Perfect amount of time + kid friendly

Having done similar full day tours in other countries, my family and I opted for the half day tour since we were bringing our 2.5 year old. The tour length was a perfect amount of time, though the lake visits did feel short. Even with the short lake stops, it was worth it to avoid parking and driving. We brought a car seat and installed it on the bus. The bus was extremely spacious and seats were very comfy! Our tour guide shared a lot of history as we drove and was friendly to our kiddo. There were plenty of opportunities to use restrooms and buy food or water.
