What To Expect
Lake Louise
Lake Louise, an icon within Banff National Park, is known for its mesmerizing turquoise waters, framed by snow-capped peaks. In the winter, the lake transforms into an ice-skating wonderland, while summer offers endless outdoor adventures. It's an iconic destination where nature's beauty and year-round attractions come together in perfect harmony.
Moraine Lake
Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies and accessible from June 1st to October 15th, Moraine Lake is a true gem on your Banff adventure. This glacial lake is renowned for its vivid turquoise waters and the dramatic backdrop of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. In the warmer months, it mirrors the vibrant blue skies and lush forests, creating a breathtaking sight that you must experience. Moraine Lake is a must-see for its unparalleled beauty, and a visit during the open season will leave you spellbound by the pristine wilderness that surrounds it. (SUMMER)

5.00While I wished for more time in Banff, Teddy was a fantastic tour guide from beginning to end and helped us see and experience all the highlights in a short time frame. Highly recommend.

5.00I almost didn’t make the trip, but I’m so glad I didn’t back out! Banff Rocky Mountains are absolutely breathtaking. I was fortunate to experience both clear sunshine & fresh snow during the same trip. Our tour guide, Angel, was fantastic; he is informative & attentive about his group. I followed his lunch recommendations, & his music selection for the drive made the experience even better. Definitely a trip I’d recommend!

5.00Without a doubt the best guided day trip we've taken (and we have taken a lot). Angel was an ideal guide and companion. He made sure we had plenty of time at every stop while still keeping to the itinerary (but not slavishly). Nice small group that was friendly without being cloying. Outstanding playlist in the van. If there are multiple guides available, specifically request Angel. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Amazing Banff trip

5.00Teddy is an unreal guide, full of knowledge, charisma and dad jokes. The trip is well thought out, spaced out and full of local knowledge. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

5.00Teddy was super friendly and he did indeed have some good tunes for the trip to Banff and back (one of his promises), as well as take good photos for solo travellers like me (the second of his promises)

5.00Great guided tour with Angel. He was very thorough with every information on the places we visited. Lake Louise was gorgeous. Angel was very helpful in taking our photos. He also provided suggestions where to go for lunch snd Park Distillery and Brewery was a great restaurant.
Amazing Tour with Teddy!

5.00I had an incredible experience, easily a 5/5! Our guide Teddy was fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fun facts and stories about the Rockies. The itinerary was perfectly paced: we started with Johnston Canyon, where we walked to the waterfall. Then we continued to Lake Louise, where we had time to take photos and enjoy the scenery (or hike up to the lookout which was 100% worth it). The visit to Banff was lovely, plenty of time for lunch and a bit of shopping and the stops at Bow Falls and Surprise Corner offered amazing views. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and the commentary + music along the way made the tour even more enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

5.00The Banff national park tour was absolutely amazing. The views were obviously stunning! Along with the scenic views, Teddy, our guide was easily one of the high points of the tour. He was SO friendly, knowledgeable, and just overall a wonderful human being to share our experience with. Will 100% percent book another tour with them when we come back to Banff!
Spectacular scenery, one of the best National Parks!

5.00We had a fabulous trip to Banf National Park! Our driver and host was Luis, from Rocky Mountain Tours. He was informative, friendly and gave us wonderful options for our lunch in the Center of Banf. The scenery was spectacular and the trip included a hike to Johnston Canyon and a stop at beautiful Lake Louise. Thank you for a memorable day!
