In 60 minutes, visitors can take in the awe-inspiring beauty, walk along the lakeshore, and capture memorable photos. They can also explore the nearby Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, rent a canoe, or embark on a short hike to further immerse themselves in the natural splendor of this iconic location.

A fantastic way to see everything in one day, would highly recommend to everyone visiting Banff. Ankit was our tour guide/driver and he was fantastic with great knowledge of the areas and how to avoid the crowds. 10/10 experience.

Great way to see everything in one day. There’s no way we could have done this all on our own. Vani was fun, informative and connected well with us. She was also good at giving us tips for future travel in the area. She was also very communicative leading up to the tour.

First off I was under the impression that this was a "private" and "customizable" tour. We not only had other people with us but during our first stop we had a time limit which makes no sense at all. We shouldn't have had other people in the van with us and we should have been able to stay at Lake Morraine as long as we wanted. This was very disceiving, as we were under the impression that it was just all day and we could decide on what the agenda was.

This “full” day tour allowed us to see the highlights of 6 different gems in the Banff National park system, all in one day. This being our first time ever visiting Banff, had we attempted this on our own, it would have easily eaten up two, if not three days of our vacation. While I would not recommend this tour for a timid audience, our group of 4 were all over 60 & contained 1 heart attack victim, 1 back surgery victim and 1 “pending” hernia candidate. Despite the physical adversities of our group, our tour guide coaxed/challenged us to power thru, from one beautiful park to the next. Speaking of our tour guide, we can not say enough good about our incredible tour guide, Vani. She was patient, kind, witty, friendly, well versed in the details of the various components of the many parks we went to and on top of all that, she was a great driver. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her and highly recommend the tour if she is your guide.
