Banff, Yoho, and Jasper 2 Day Private Tour

A perfect trip to the rockies
We had an absolutely amazing 2-day trip with Aziz. It was truly great value for money! Aziz had excellent knowledge of the whole area and made sure to share interesting information and stories along the way.He was also very flexible and made sure we didn’t miss the amazing spots—and even took plenty of photos for us! We thoroughly enjoyed the stunning beauty of Jasper and Banff. The Columbia Icefield experience was absolutely mesmerising and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.A fantastic experience overall, made even better by Aziz’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and hospitality. Highly recommended - Don’t miss the Malign lake cruise tickets to be booked in advance - must visit place !!!

Best tour in banff
Had the most amazing tour with ash! She’s so knowledgeable, attentive and friendly with her guests. We went to moraine lake which was breathtaking. Definitely a huge highlight of my Canadian experience and couldn’t recommend this tour enough. We were even lucky enough to see a black bear on bow valley parkway on the drive back which was my first bear sighting since being in Canada. What a fantastic experience! 10/10

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!

Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Peyto & Bow Lake Small-Group Tour

Perfect Way to See Banff’s Highlights — Highly Recommend!
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!

Icefield explorer tour
This was a must and was a little disappointed when it started raining as we were waiting to go over on the bus. The rain stopped though and it was beautiful on the glacier. Glad we got to do it and would recommend it to anyone as long as you can get around good as it was a little steep getting off the vehicle that took us over there and of course the glacier was ice. But thoroughly enjoyed with the spouse.

I highly recommend…. We had a great private tour with Yug! He picked us up right at our condo and our day was trailered to what we wanted to do and how long we wanted to be at places! He made sure we got to see the best spots and took pictures for us! It was so nice to be dropped off and picked up close to entrances. His knowledge of the area and friendliness was also appreciated!

Best way to see Moraine Lake
If you’re debating whether to loose sleep to see Moraine Lake at sunrise (3:30am pick ups!) it is so worth it! The lighting on the mountains was beautiful, we got there before most of the crowds and having the shuttle handled by Discover Banff Tours takes the stress out of finding Parks Canada tickets. Jake was an incredible guide; funny, informative and very beautiful himself. 10/10 would gladly wake up before dawn again for Moraine & Jake 🫶🏽

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.
