Brilliant evening tour
We did an evening tour with George who was absolutely brilliant - he is so knowledgeable, he made the trip entertaining and personal to each person. We saw elk, deer, an eagle, beautiful lakes and he taught us so much about bears! Amazing - would really recommend the trip. We wish we were staying longer to go again!

Strenuous, but awesome!
Wear comfy clothes & shoes! The trail at Moraine Lake was steep at times & rugged (but breathtaking). My husband had to stop halfway, his back & knees were complaining! Our guide, Apple (?) was very entertaining, answered all our questions and was looked out for our safety. Highly recommend.

Discover Banff Tours are EXCEPTIONAL!
Discover Banff tours are exceptional! The guides/drivers are thoughtful, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. As a solo traveler, I felt confident knowing that the guide had my, as well as, the entire group’s best interests in mind. They picked me up at my hotel in downtown Calgary in the early morning and dropped me off there that evening. I sincerely felt valued as a person and customer. I highly recommend Discover Banff Tours if you’re looking for an outstanding experience. Bobby and Eric were wonderful drivers/guides!!

Excellent tour and guides
The tour guides were amazing. Great personalities and very attentive to the travelers. So many little things that made you feel spoiled. The chairs, blankets, hot drinks in little thermoses, head lamps. They even had hiking sticks. They were actively interacting with everyone. Definitely worth booking.

Great trip
Great last second booking. Booked the morning of. Driver (name started with an S) was really good. There was a couple that made us delayed 3 different times. Overall delay was an hour combined. They need to be more strict with people or be willing to leave them behind. Bring cash for tips too as driver didn’t have digital methods to tip.

Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Sunset Wildlife Adventure

Kelly was awesome!
We had an amazing experience on the Moraine Lake and Lake Louise sunset tour with Kelly from Radventures! Kelly was fantastic and made the entire experience so enjoyable and memorable. She knew so much about the history of the area and shared interesting information that made our visit even more special. She was also great at navigating everything and making sure we got around smoothly, so we could relax and enjoy the incredible scenery. Both lakes were absolutely breathtaking, and seeing them in the beautiful evening light was unforgettable. Kelly’s knowledge, friendliness, and ability to make the experience seamless made this tour a highlight of our trip to the Canadian Rockies. I highly recommend Kelly and Radventures to anyone visiting Moraine Lake and Lake Louise!
