5.00We had the most wonderful experience on this tour. From the beginning of the tour everything was seamless. The van was spotless and picked us up right from our accommodation. Hands down best tour we’ve done on our trip, we saw the beautiful sights of moraine lake and lake Louise. The guide was very welcoming and ensured that everyone had the best time- including a lot of history about the area as well. Thanks so much to the mountain explorer co team. We had the best time, thanks for making our trip even better.

5.00This was fantastic and our guide Anthony was so helpful, informative and absolutely everything you would want in a guide. Great value for money, please don’t book with a cheaper company as you need the two hours you get at each spot to appreciate them properly and actually do a walk or have a drink or eat at the Fairmont.
Awesome private tour!
