Visiting the Two, main lakes in Banff, made it easy with Canmore Travel
We knew getting to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise would be difficult but booking this tour with Canmore Travel took all the stress out of the planning. Pick up was convenient, the van spacious and comfortable, and the guide was not only knowledgeable but friendly and communicated with an excellent speaking voice. Michael went above and beyond to make sure our trip would be memorable and even suggested don’t miss spots during the rest of our stay in Banff.
