The driver we had for this excursion, Victor, was amazing! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Victor went above and beyond the call of duty when he made sure we all made it back to the shuttle during a rain storm … great job!

Using Via Via was stress free and perfect. Our guide, Pieter, picked us up from our air bnb and shared so many interesting facts about the area as we drove to Lake Louise. Pieter was engaging, knowledgeable and just an all around nice guy. Scheduling was easy and our family thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Lake Louise without the hassle of driving ourselves and looking for parking. The experience was so good that I am doing a solo trip to Lake Moraine and Lake Louise tomorrow to watch the sunrise with Via Via.

We enjoyed our trip to Lake Louise through ViaVia Tours. We did the extended tour which gave us over 8 hours at Lake Louise. It was plenty of time to enjoy the Lakeshore and hike all the way up to the Big Beehive. Our morning driver, Jess, was fantastic. She was super knowledgeable about the area and had great recommendations. Marie was our driver back to Canmore, and she was wonderful as well. Both drivers were quick to point out any wildlife and answer any questions about the area. We were even able to take advantage of the rebooking policy 3 days out when the weather forecast showed significant rain on our initial tour date and rescheduled it for a day later. I would highly recommend ViaVia to get you to Lake Louise.
Would recommend!

We booked a sunrise tour to Moraine Lake, and it was absolutely worth it. The shuttle arrived on time early in the morning, and we were provided with hot tea or coffee and blankets to keep warm. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the park and mountains as we passed through. The view at Moraine Lake was breathtaking, making the early wake-up and wait completely worthwhile. On the way back, we even stopped at a scenic spot, which was an unexpected highlight. Overall, the tour was well worth both the time and money, and I highly recommend it.

We used Via Via's sunrise service twice to visit Moraine Lake, and can't speak highly enough about their service. Convenient pickup from multiple locations in Banff & Canmore (saving you from buying a park pass) with knowledgeable and friendly drivers. We arrived well before the crowds, and got a great spot to watch sunrise. Don't hesitate to book with these guys for your trip to Moraine!
