A must do/must see! Highly recommend this tour! Our guide was amazing and shared many helpful tips and stories about the surrounding area. He also had umbrellas for us which was incredibly helpful as we were not anticipating heavy rain. Thankfully, the thunderstorm cleared and we had the most amazing blue skies at both lakes. This was a once in a lifetime experience that we will never forget….

Excellent tour of Moraine Lake andLake Louise. The driver/tour guide (Yannick) was great and gave us a lot of useful information. There was flexibility in some of us choosing to spend more time in Moraine Lake or Lake Louise or the other way round. Overall it was a relaxing and enjoyable tour and Yannick made it more enjoyable by his relaxed attitude and great knowledge of the area and its history. Would definitely recommend it, particularly for a small group.

An excellent way to tour the lakes! With only tour / commercial access to the parking lots now, we can’t imagine trying to get here any other way. Our tour guide Lenka was amazing! We learned so much about the parks, forests, and wildlife during our tour. She also gave us fantastic suggestions that helped us tweak our itinerary for the rest of the week, making for an even better experience. We highly recommend this tour!
