Tour was grey and so glad we booked. While Lake Louise allows private cars, Moraine Lake does not so this tour was a great solution. The guides offered tidbits throughout the day and great suggestions of places to see in the Banff area. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area to book.

Our driver Andrew was friendly, funny and punctual and he shared good tips of what to do at Moraine and Louise lakes. The 5 hour round trip was the right amount of time to visit each stop and take some great pictures. This is a good option for the price out of Banff vs. the parks Canada shuttles you catch in lake Louise which you drive up to and park at the ski resort. It is worth the money to get a shuttle - the views at Moraine lake (which requires a shuttle to get to) and remarkable. Thank you Andrew for a great day and Banff and Lake Louise!

Driver was very knowledgeable. On time, safe transport and clear instructions. Good tips about spots worth to see. Reasonable price for private shuttle as cars are not allowed at Moraine Lake. Easy to book. Would highly recommend. Amazing place.
