    This was the best experience I could have ever expected! We had a limited time in Banff and wanted to see the most we could! They made it happen! The staff was amazing and their stories about Banff were detailed and they made the experience off the chart! Thank you so much!

    A brilliant way to explore Lakes Morraine and Louise. The guides on the buses are very knowledgeable and informative. They also spend time with each group to find out what you want to do throughout the day and give some well placed advice on how best to achieve it. It’s also the easiest way to ensure you get to see both lakes if that’s what you want to do. Fantastic experience, I wouldn’t choose any other way.

  • A Great Day at the Lakes
