Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary/Canmore/Banff
264supapornt, Sep 2026
Once in a lifetime
My first trip to Canada, and it absolutely deserved its 5-star rating! Joshua, our guide, was excellent—funny, energetic, and took great photos. The tour group was amazing and punctual, and the destinations were totally worth it. Moraine Lake was my favorite, and I even got to see snow for the first time ever! It's a shame it was cloudy that day, so my pictures don't do it justice, but the actual scenery is breathtaking. You must visit this place once in your lifetime. Highly recommended!

A Value Packed Experience!
This was one of the best activities we did during our Canada visit! Our guide, Steve, was phenomenal—his narration during the tour was fun but also very informative which we appreciated. He made sure we knew the best places to view all of the lakes. We were extremely pleased with everything from pick-up to drop-off!

Fantastic trip
The Rocky Mountain tour with our guide, Steve, was fantastic! He pointed out beautiful viewpoints along the way and shared the interesting stories behind them in a really engaging way. The amount of time we spent at each stop was perfect. When my phone battery was running low, he kindly lent me a cable and even plugged it in for me, showing me where the hidden ports were on the bus. His consistently positive and friendly attitude made the whole experience so enjoyable, despite the unpredictable weather. Thank you so much, Steve!

The best day ever!!
My trip to canada was full of hardships -BUT Grizzly Tours featuring Brooke (the tour guide) was AMAZING!Grizzly tours was: flexible Good at communication ahead of the trip Convenient Fairly priced Brooke was friendly and knowledgeable Everything was on time and we'll planned The mini bus was comfortable The ride went by quickly (even though we got pick up in calgary, 2 hours from the park).This tour was the highlight of my trip to Canada. And this tour day was the BEST vacation day i have ever had!The weather was also ideal....not controllable but awesome. All day long i felt like I was in a movie set!!Thanks you Grizzly Tours!

Trip of a lifetime!!!
Must do trip when in Canmore and Banff!!! It will be tricky to do all the three lakes when you are staying in Banff or Canmore. This trip covers a lot of area in a day. Our guide Naveen was very knowledgeable with a good sense of humour. He filled us in on the local history and landmarks. An unforgettable experience. Thoroughly recommend!!!

This was the perfect trip for us. The van picked us up in Canmore and we were able to see both lakes with plenty of time to spend at each location. Our guide Olivia kept us entertained and gave fun facts. I would highly recommend it.
