5.00Purchase a last minute ticket, like 11 PM, going to lake louise and morraine lake for a party of 7 with child. Its a promo ticket and I didn't notice that the only pick-up point will be in Banff and I chose Canmore. Clint from Cool banff tours message me and says that I supposed to pay extra since we will be picked up in Canmore but he will give it for free since I have a kid maybe its easier for us to go there, yey perfect!! Customer service plus points! The day of the trip Sir Andrew our designated tour guide/driver made our trip fun and enjoyable, he's also a school bus driver so we know that we're safe, very nice, approachable and helpful. He gave us some information about the mountains and lakes along the way, he even recommended some spots to go to that makes our trip more memorable. So all in all I highly recommended Cool Banff Tours, on time and best customer service.
Comfortable ride

5.00I would recommend this experience to others. Just be careful when booking online. Make sure when checking out that you have the correct dates. I had put in for the correct dates when completing all of the info for another experience with Viator and after checking out I noticed the date had changed. Please double check. Viator worked to change the mistake, but it took all day to get it remedied. As for this experience, we had liked that we did not have to drive. Our driver Lucy was very sweet. She had bottles of water ready to give to those who wanted. We felt very safe with her driving. It was nice to not have to be concerned about parking at Lake Louise.
