Shuttle is easy door to door service. No parking headache. Plenty of time to walk the trails and lookout points. Brought lunch, snacks and water bottle in a day pack. Used a sweatshirt in the morning. Beautiful lakes!! Pre-recorded audio on the route there and back. Dennis was a happy, fun driver.

The experience we had on this particular excursion was not up to what we were expecting. The bus was old. It had no heat. My husband gashed his calf because there was a lever that was sticking out from one of the seats as we were exiting and it caused us to buy $20 worth of medical supplies. The Lakes were beautiful, but this was not up to a standard that would even be worth three stars. We would recommend going to these Lakes but perhaps using a different tour company and or checking to see what type of transportation and guide there would be

Brilliant way to see both Lakes without having to be on a big coach. Our tour time had to be changed last minute due to them not having enough people for 2 buses. However this was sorted even outside office hours to make sure we got on a slightly later bus. Our driver Dan was very good and gave us tips for the best places for photos, including a short hike at Lake Louise to get an amazing photo across the lake towards the hotel. Also had the perfect amount of time at each Lake.

This tour was such a great way to see Lake Louise and Moraine Lake stress-free. The bus was perfectly on time, which made planning our day easy. The driver was so kind and professional, and the ride felt smooth and relaxed. We also really enjoyed the audio guide — it was informative and engaging, and we learned a lot about the history and surroundings along the way. Everything ran on schedule, giving us plenty of time to enjoy both lakes without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a convenient, well-organized, and enjoyable way to experience these beautiful spots!
