The tour guide, Jake, was pretty hilarious and made it for a fun day. Would highly recommend to other people
Thank you so much for the kind words, and we'll make sure Jake sees this! We're thrilled you enjoyed your Discover Lake Louise (Spring & Fall Sightseeing) experience. Hope to see you back in Banff sometime soon!
Jake our guide was an excellent tour advisor, we were lucky enough to see a black bear at the car park at Lake Louise making our trip very special
I’ve always wanted to go to Lake Louise and it didn’t disappoint My kids and I loved every minute! The sights were amazing and our tour guide Jake was hilarious and did a wonderful job telling us stories and the history of the lakes and mountains. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!!😊
Fabulous tour to Lake Louise and fabulous guides, the extremely handsome Jake and the spicy Gabriel - when you book you'll know! I admit I haven't tried other tour operators in Banff but I'd bet Discover Banff Tours comes out on top. We had wildlife spotting thrown in with the visit to Lake Louise and I was thrilled to see my first bear on the last day of my holidays 🤩 Lake Louise is stunning, Jake really is rather funny but I don't know about majestic...🤣 The local knowledge and history was expertly delivered and noone paid or bribed me to say any of this. Must also mention the guide at the desk who recommend these trips, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name but you delivered! And a shout out to Rob (who, for the record, is also good-looking) and was the perfect host for the Evening Wildlife Tour I went on yesterday. I'm sorry I didn't have any cash to tip you but it was very much deserved.
Absolutely Great! Jake was hilarious! Also has Great teeth!
Driver/guide very knowledgeable and fun.
Despite the weather not being brilliant and the lake being frozen we enjoyed the tour and the scenery very much. Our driver Buffy made the journey even more enjoyable by passing along her knowledge of the history and surroundings. We would certainly recommend this tour and Buffy to anyone who plans this in their visit to the Banff area
Buffy our guide was amazing and so helpful and informative. She went above and beyond to ensure we had the best time and got the most out of our tour. The lake and grounds were amazing even though still partially frozen. Would highly recommend.
Great tour, our guide told us lots about the history of the park and the works done to preserve the nature and wildlife. Highlight was getting to see the bear on our return to Banff
A fabulous half day tour to Lake Louise, with Buffy, our tour guide and driver. She was very friendly and knowledgeable and her love and enthusiasm for the National Park and it's wildlife shone through. Stunning scenery and the added bonus of seeing both a massive goods train at Morant's Curve (over 3 minutes to pass by) and a gorgeous brown bear.
