This was a fantastic way for us to see Moraine Lake and explore Lake Louise! Our tour guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable about the local area and provided us with coffee, umbrellas, raincoats, and walking sticks. Both of these sites are picture perfect and there is enough time at each place to rent a canoe or walk a trail.

The van first goes to Moraine lake and then to lake Louise. When I take a tour, the tour guide is very important. Along with driving, his goal is to guide us to get the maximum out of the tour. He had no guidance. The van arrives first at lake Moraine. His advice could be to take a canoe tour, if one wants to, because there’s no line. There’s huge line in lake Louise and we were not able to do it because we went to a hike recommended by him that was just very average. For a two our break, we could only do the hike. We stood in the line for canoe ride but there were 50 people ahead of us so we ran out of time. Also he didn’t give bathroom break, we had to ask for it. He also didn’t say which bathrooms had waters. These are very basic. In summary, how to get maximum out of a trip is the guide’s responsibility but he didn’t fulfill it. He was just a taxi driver. The high price was a complete ripoff.
