Banff 4WD, ATV & Off-Road Tours

This was a terrific tour to see two fabulous lakes in the Banff area. We traveled by coach and were dropped off at each lake with time to explore and walk around. Our guide was wonderful and gave us interesting bits of information and history about what we were seeing and where we were going.

Perfect excursion to moraine lake and lake Louise! Just the right amount of time at both places. Shawn was very insightful and gave wonderful suggestions at each spot. Would definitely recommend!!

My husband and I were trying to get transport tickets to see Lake Moraine but there were no tickets available so I started looking online. We had done a Cool Banff trip in Hawaii and had a good experience so I scheduled a trip in Banff late one night because we only had one more day to see the lakes. Jugal, our guide also happened to be up late and texted me right away asking where we were staying. We originally chose a pickup sight near our hotel but he offered to pick us up at the hotel since it was on his way. Great service! We left Canmore to head to Banff to pick up a family at a different resort and then we were on to Lake Louise. Jugal gave us excellent information and allowed us to ask many questions. And we asked a lot! He told us Canadian history, pointed out interesting things to see, and let us know how to stay safe on the trails. The small transport bus holds about 12 people and the large windows make it easy to see and it’s comfortable. The itinerary was set at an easy pace for the day. We were picked up at 7:30 and dropped off at 4:00. In that time we were able to see many gorgeous lakes: Louise, Moraine, Bow, and Peyto with a lunch stop at Lake Louise Village. It’s very busy there and the lines are long at all the restaurants so we went to their grocery store to grab a sandwich and eat outside. This trip was worthwhile because we were able to get close to all the entrances without having to trudge through with so many people. We also enjoyed talking to the other people on our van and getting to know Jugal. It was a wonderful day!

We booked a tour with Monarch VIP Tours to visit Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Bow Lake and Peyto Lake, and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.The itinerary struck just the right balance — enough time at each location to really soak it in, without feeling rushed or dragged out. It was such an efficient way to hit all the key highlights of the Banff area in one day.What we loved most was how VIP the experience actually felt. Instead of dealing with the Parks Canada shuttle (which is notoriously hard to book and packs 50+ people at a time), we had a small, intimate tour. We got lucky and had the vehicle to ourselves, but even with others along, groups max out at 12 — a huge difference in comfort and pace. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean.Our guide was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure we enjoyed every stop. They gave great tips and helped us plan how to spend our time at each location. They even brought a cooler so we could bring our own lunch, which was a nice touch given it’s a long day with limited stops along the way.Even though we had a rental car, we were so glad we booked this tour instead of driving ourselves. Tour vehicles get access to special parking areas that regular visitors simply can’t use. If you’re driving yourself, you can end up wasting a lot of time just walking from distant parking lots to the actual viewpoints, instead of enjoying the scenery.If you want a stress-free, efficient, and comfortable way to see Banff’s must-see lakes, I can’t recommend Monarch VIP Tours enough!

We were thrilled to have Mr. Daman as our guide once again for the Banff Highlights Tour, and he delivered another perfection-level day!We started early with peaceful, mirror-like reflections at Two Jack Lake and Lake Minnewanka, followed by the majestic Bow Falls and the classic viewpoint at Surprise Corner overlooking the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Riding the Banff Gondola to the summit of Sulphur Mountain offered breathtaking 360-degree views, and relaxing afterward at the Banff Upper Hot Springs was pure bliss. Mr. Daman’s warm hospitality, punctuality, and local expertise capped off an incredible series of trips. Banff Trip Planner is truly top-tier!

Marc Niehaus did an outstanding job on showing us a fantastic time. We were able to see sheep and moose. We had an outstanding visit to a remote restaurant run by 5-10 young people from around the world. The scenery was spectacular. Mark made the entire day seem effortless. Surprisingly, the best part of this tour may have been the people we met during our afternoon. Mark and the staff at the restaurant were outstanding. I highly recommend this tour.

We all enjoyed this very much. It was not the tour as advertised (the tea location was not available due to a wedding) and a location could not be reached due to an avalanche. However, the guides did a great job of taking us to various locations and provided a full lunch. (The agency we booked with should have told us about the tea house situation, but they didn't.) - Based on our experience, I am confident that the tour as advertised is great as was our 'improvised' experience!!

Mr. G was amazing. Took us to all the main sites. Felt a little rushed but we did fit everything in so that was nice.

Excellent services, I really enjoy feels free My experience with Caroline your driver and tour guide, sweet and good memories, very kindly and sincere to treat us. Thank you for send us Caroline.

Sean was very friendly and informative. Really great time.

It was perfect. Ideal weather helped the occasion but so did our driver Shaun. He gave us local history as well as hints on the best way to spend our time at each location. Good driver too

This is a hassle free way to visit the Banff . Mr G gave took us to our destinations on scheduled time and guided us where to go and gave some brief history and information of the places we went to visit.

It was great. Going with a tour meant each stop was timed, but we always had time to walk around for 30-40 minutes. I could have used more time for lunch, but otherwise I didn't feel rushed, even with all the stops. Overall it was a great way to experience Banff's natural beauty without dealing with logistics or driving. Loved the view while sitting in the hot springs!

Frank was an excellent guide. Really beautiful day!

1.5 hrs. at each lake was the perfect amount of time. Driver was very instructive about the lakes and surrounding area.

The trip was wonderful views of both lakes were great Frank. Our driver was an excellent guide felt safe very helpful in taking pictures making sure that we got good pictures.
