Tour was on time, covered the things we wanted to see. Our guide/driver was good at making sure we saw the key points of both lake areas and left us time to explore a little on our own. Met our expectations. I would recommend.

My partner and i took a bus tour with Banff Everyday Tours through lake Louise, Moraine lake and the surrounding areas, our guide Joshua was very passionate about the area and has definitely found his calling as a tour guide. It was a good trip especially since it was a small group. This tour is highly recommended.

Unforgettable experience with an amazing guide, Ahmed
I had such a wonderful time throughout the day. Moraine Lake was breathtaking, and Lake Louise was so peaceful.All the spots were amazing, but the best part by far was our guide, Ahmed. He was so welcoming and brought such a fun, positive vibe to our group. Also, I really appreciate that he was such an awesome photographer for us.I was impressed by his professionalism as well. We actually had a little issue during the tour, but he handled it so quickly and found the best solution. He never forgot to smile and kept making us laugh.Highly recommend!

Beautiful places with a great guide!
We had a great tour with Ahmed to Emerald Lake, Moraine Lake, Lake Louise and Natural Bridges. Ahmed was very friendly and courteous, and provided a lot of information about the area as we drove from place to place. The lakes were beautiful and we were happy we weren't trying to park our own car at each location. The other guests were fun to meet and share the experience with. Overall, it was a great day and worth the time and cost to enjoy these nature sights.

Great experience, excellent guide
This was a very fun tour! Our guide Jake made it enjoyable throughout with extensive knowledge of the region. We were fortunate to see 4 moose, several big horned sheep, and several elk. Jake was very professional as he positioned us best to see the wildlife, and was very passionate about the wildlife himself. We got our moneys worth and more!

Fabulous tour, stunning views
We really enjoyed our tour of Maligne Lake by boat today. The views were stunning! We stopped along the way to viewed points of interest. We saw abundant wildlife including elk, longhorn sheep & moose. Our guide *Ross* was very knowledgeable and his love of the Jasper area and history was impressive. I highly recommend this tour, especially if Ross is your guide.
