We had Jackson as our guide/driver and he was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and helpful about other things to do and see if you are staying in the area. The tour was very reasonably priced for all the sites we got to see. I can’t really say I had a favorite as each was more beautiful than the last one.

Marco, e driver or guide was excellent, polite and patient, ensuring he has all his customers are onboard his mini van, guide us to the best spot to view Lake Louise, Lake Moraine to view the lakes and pictures taking and where are the nice foods in Banff.

Rhoda is an excellent guide and driver. Me and my mom love all her service and her well information about the area. She’s polite with a good sense of humor. I think I made a good decision here for this one day trip!

Incredible trip to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake — the driver was on time, and the van was comfortable. An hour and a half at each lake was the perfect amount of time for exploration and photos.

Gordon was an excellent guide! I highly recommend this tour. It was a long day, but we fit in so many sights, and I didn't feel like we were rushed at any of our stops.
