What To Expect

Canmore

The scenic drive from Calgary to Canmore is a stunning journey that offers breathtaking views of the Canadian Rockies and the natural beauty of Alberta. Just a stone's throw from the highway, Kananaskis opens up a world of outdoor adventure. As we pass by this area, be on the lookout for wildlife! Spotting deer, elk, and occasionally bears along the way is a common delight. The open meadows and dense forests serve as perfect habitats for these magnificent creatures. We'll stop in Canmore, nestled in the Bow Valley, surrounded with spectacular views, on our way from or to Calgary for about 10-15 minutes for a quick stretch.

Two Jack Lake

Two Jack Lake Nestled within the grandeur of Banff National Park, Two Jack Lake stands as a serene oasis, a place where nature’s artistry is on full display. The imposing silhouettes of Mount Rundle and Cascade Mountain frame the lake, their grand shapes mirrored flawlessly on the water’s surface. This natural reflection creates a mesmerizing dual image that captivates and leaves a lasting impression on every visitor. Depending on the season we'll stop here for about 10 to 20 minutes

Murray was a great tour guide on trip to Banff National Park. He explained information about the area. During the tour there were multiple times to get explorer the Park such as Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The tour took me by very beautiful scenery.

We were notified via whatsapp and Tripadvisor messaging a day before the tour of our pick up time at the nearest hotel. Patrick, our guide/driver was on time and friendly, and the van was comfortable. Lake Moraine was closed for the winter so we got to see Lake Louise which was still beautiful with snow covered grounds and seeing snow capped mountains in the background. We had over an hour to eat lunch and explore the town of Banff for some souvenirs. The weather was a little chilly in early November but it did not snow or rain on us, so I would say it was a good trip. Highly recommend doing this small group tour with Banff Day Trips company.
Excellent guide made this...

2 adults and 2 teens in August 2025. Great trip! Good communication before the day. Picked us up from Canmore. Our driver (forgot name now!) wore a cowboy hat. He was great and we enjoyed the experience. We took a picnic with us and he was really helpful suggesting where we could go to eat it in local parks in Banff. Also he came down to Lake Louise and took photos for us which meant we didn't have to bother other tourists to take a picture! Had such a good time.
Beautiful Scenery, Great tour

Picked up on time. Our driver was Dair who was great and knowledgeable on all the places he took us. Fantastic tour, Lake Louise was beautiful as was Johnston Canyon. Plenty of time at each place we visited. Really enjoyed the day.

It was a perfect tour that covered most of the tourist attractions, with a reasonable fee. The tour guide (Rick) was very pleasant and keen for us to enjoy our time. On time, no stress, no worries, just a fun ride. I would definitely recommend 👍

The tour was exactly what I wanted. The guide/driver Murray was attentive, courteous, knowledgeable, and interesting. The itinerary gave a good overview of the park. I recommend both this tour and this tour company.

The Canadian Rockies are an amazing, scenic location. The tour took us to several highlight areas, and gave us time to wander and explore. The guide (we had Gordon) was very knowledgeable and informative as well as extremely personable. The tour bus was comfortable, and the sights were lined up in an ascending series of jaw dropping scenes. Highly recommended.
