Very good guide. We visited several sites that we would have not visited otherwise on our own. The guide was also flexible with our Banff visit where he separated the group in two: gondola and Banff town for those that did not want to go to the gondola.

We hade a magnificent day on our Lakes of the Rockies tour with Discover Banff tours. We went to Takakkaw Falls, Emerald Lake, Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. We had a beautiful day and the best tour guide Bobby. He elevated this tour from very good to world class, with his knowledge about the area, the nature and his driving skills! Thanks Bobby! I would very much recommend this tour company to anyone who would like to have a great time with skilled guides.

Memorable experience
Overall loved the lakes, the mountains. Very tranquil. I do wish there was more time at Johnson canyon 30 minutes more, less time at emerald lake and 30 minutes more in the town of Banff. But it was an long day for us had to travel over 2 hours for pick up. Then the drive back to the Airbnb.

Exceeded our expectations
We went on this tour yesterday with Aanish, and it was a very well-planned experience from start to finish. The itinerary was organized, and we got to see so many incredible places. All of the lakes were absolutely amazing, and Johnston Canyon was breathtaking. Our tour guide Aanish also took some fabulous photos for us, which was a lovely bonus.Just be prepared—it's a very long day (12 hours from Calgary)! I recommend bringing plenty of snacks and water to keep your energy up. The meeting point is conveniently located just across the road from the hotel, making it easy to find. If you come prepared, you'll have a fantastic day and create some wonderful memories. Thanks Aanish for being so welcoming and sharing your experiences with our family 🇦🇺

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Private Tour(5hr) from Banff/Canmore
Nancy_S, Jul 2026
Best Tour Company & Guide
Wish we could give this more than 5 stars. Of the many tours we’ve experienced, this was by far the best. Our tour guide Anthony was exceptional - extremely knowledgeable, patient and accommodating, and he shared information that you can’t just get from a “google search”. The sites we visited were obviously spectacular, and should be included in any trip to Alberta. If you have the option of a private tour, it’s definitely worth it, as it elevates the experience, which is specifically tailored to your interests and preferences. The vehicle provided for the tour was spacious, comfortable and clean. Also, the company and our tour guide stayed in touch prior to the tour, and were very easy to reach at all times for questions. Highly, highly recommended.

Chloe was our driver and guide for the tour. She did an amazing job. I couldn't give the commentary while driving but she did. I learned a lot about Banff National Park from her. She even did a stunt driving by driving backwards uphill! Thank you.

We caught the bus from Canmore although it started in Calgary. Mark, the guide and driver was very friendly and helpful doing icebreaker intros for everyone on the bus and giving us info on areas and landscapes as we drove past. It was great to get close parking via this bus to the lakes , Banff town and then to Surprise Corner and Bow Falls.

I had an amazing solo trip to Banff, visiting Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, and Johnston Canyon. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The company’s communication was clear, timely, and helpful, which made me feel comfortable and stress-free as a solo traveler.The pick-up was on time, the schedule was managed perfectly, and the overall tour experience was excellent. I had enough time to enjoy each beautiful location, take photos, and fully experience the scenery.I highly recommend this tour company, especially for solo travelers looking for a safe, smooth, and unforgettable Banff experience!

Travel with Louis!
Pickup was central in Calgary and Louis was our tour guide. Driving with him was a very special experience - as a driver very calm and relaxed, with enormous knowledge about the country and its people. As a biologist, he was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife, but also about the geology and evolutionary history of the Rockies. I can only recommend hiring Louis as a tour guide.

First time and not the last time
Inder was very hospitable. He was also very understanding when I can do our timings from location to location. I have a 5-year-old and so we always try to stick to the timeline but we were always a few minutes over our meet up times and still found a way to make it home on time. It's an amazing experience to go on this tour and I recommend it again!
