This isn’t just another shuttle to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake—it’s a guided experience designed to deepen your connection to these iconic landscapes. 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. Travel the scenic Bow Valley Parkway and hear stories of the region from a local guide. At Lake Louise, take time to walk the shoreline and admire Victoria Glacier. 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. Unlike larger operators or simple shuttle services, we offer a slower pace and a more meaningful experience. Our guides are passionate locals who bring these places to life through storytelling and insight. Let us show you Banff’s most famous lakes the way they’re meant to be experienced.

The trip was booked by us at very short notice, due to a change in plans, but Discover Banff tours arranged a private tour for first thing the next morning. The driver Tom turned up early, was polite, warm and very knowledgeable, explaining the history and scenery from the minute we got in the vehicle until we got out 3.5hrs later. He managed to cover more than we planned, without taking anytime away from the key areas we wanted to visit, which made the trip, even more memorable experience for us, as we learned so much from him.
Awesome Banff, forever in our hearts ❤️

Awesome experience visiting Banff, we highly recommend it, we travelled with our two little kids and they loved it. Amazing snowed views, hiking, food and shopping. Loved Banff and Lake Louise, if possible, spend one or two nights at Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, you will love it.
10/10 experience!

It was my first visit to Banff and our guide Sam did not disappoint! He was extremely personable, knowledgeable and entertaining. I learned so much on the tour and the landscape and lakes were truly breathtaking. Sam took photos for all of the guests and made sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The bus was comfortable, clean and a very smooth ride. We even saw an elk! I would definitely recommend to this tour.
Great tour to breathtakingly beautiful Lakes

Great trip to Lake Louise & Moraine Lake today. Our tour guide Neil was very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting and informative. Thank you Neil! 😊 Tour was on time, coach was spacious and comfortable and we had an hour at each stop to enjoy the lakes - as well as a couple of brief stops on route to take photos. Both Lake Louise & Moraine Lake are breathtakingly beautiful. Would definitely recommend.
Loved going to the lakes....

Loved going to the lakes. They were beautiful. However the trip from the hotel to the destinations was disappointing. The driver/tour guy was pretty boring. He used “um” and “ah” like every 3 rd word which made it sound like droaning on and on. He spoke for long times on subjects that seemed to be his interest but not mine. I’m not going to hike in the back country so I don’t need to know how to tell the difference between grisly bears vs other bears. Nor do I want or need to know about bear paws and the prints they make. Several times he seemed confused or distracted while driving and speaking. He embellished stories using contemporary phrases like “dude” or dancing to music he played while waiting for people to join back at the bus. I couldn’t wait for the tour to be over. Sorry but this is the truth. This guy seems young and wanted to talk about subjects that interested him. Nice guy but your was a disappointment and not what I have experienced in the past from your company.
A great tour, good value for money.

The tour was well organized. At first, the drive felt a bit long, but our tour guide Neil made excellent use of the time by sharing his extensive historical knowledge of the region, which was absolutely fascinating — we really enjoyed it! He was also incredibly friendly and always offered to take photos for anyone who wanted. The lakes were stunning, although quite crowded with tourists (which, of course, is beyond the tour’s control). Even though the tour seemed to cater mostly to an older crowd — and we, in our mid-30s, were by far the youngest — we would definitely do it again. The price is quite high and should be a bit cheaper.
