Itinerary
Lake Louise is straight out of a dream—shimmering turquoise water, towering mountain peaks, and the iconic Fairmont Château as the perfect backdrop. Whether you’re snapping photos, strolling along the shore, or just soaking in the view, this place is pure magic. Trust us, no picture can ever do it justice—you have to see it for yourself!
Moraine Lake is the kind of place that takes your breath away—crystal-clear, impossibly blue water surrounded by the rugged peaks of the Valley of the Ten Peaks. Climb up the Rockpile for that famous postcard view, or just stand by the shore and soak in the unreal beauty. It’s one of those spots that feels too perfect to be real—but it is, and you’re here! (Moraine Lake is only open from June 1st to October 13th. Will be replaced by Marble Canyon when its closed)
Every year, thousands of photographers all over the world come to take pictures of these lakes.
You will be suprised when you hear the stories of this mighty mountain
We will provide special ice crampons for a once in a lifetime ice-walk experience! From suspended catwalks to sparkling frozen waterfalls, Marble Canyon is a winter wonderland that beckons adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. (Operating only between October 13th - June 1st when the Moraine Lake is closed in winter season. )
Time to take a break and enjoy Banff Avenue—where great food, mountain views, and a little shopping all come together! Grab lunch at one of the cozy cafés or restaurants, then wander through the charming shops for unique souvenirs, local art, or maybe even some Canadian maple treats. It’s the perfect chance to soak in the lively Banff vibe before we head to our next adventure!
See the magnificient Banff Chauteu Fairmont Spring Hotel in closer look. This hotel made of real stone is one of the symbols of Banff.
Surprise Corner is where Banff gives you its best "wow" moment—an incredible panoramic view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, framed by towering peaks and the rushing Bow River. It’s the perfect spot for that jaw-dropping photo, and trust us, the name makes sense—you won’t see it coming! Another quick stop, but one you won’t forget.
Bow Falls is where raw power meets stunning scenery—a rushing, wide waterfall surrounded by rugged cliffs and lush forest. Feel the mist on your face as you watch the Bow River thunder downstream, creating a scene straight out of a movie. It’s an easy stop, but one that leaves a big impression!
Lake Minnewanka is where the mountains meet the water in the most epic way—huge, deep-blue, and stretching farther than any other lake in Banff. Whether you're skipping rocks, taking a boat ride, or just breathing in that fresh mountain air, it feels like a secret slice of paradise. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot some bighorn sheep chilling by the shore! (Depending on the traffic situation, we will visit here INSTEAD OF Bow Falls and Surprise Corner. NOT visiting these 3 places on same day. This is a ALTERNATIVE stop for Bow Falls & Surprise corner. PLEASE READ WELL and dont be upset if we dont visit here.)

Dave was the best guide ever. Knowledgeable, thoughtful and caring. Everything about the tour was just as described. Easy ons/offs. Got to see many great sites. Pictures of a lifetime!
Wonderful tour!! So much easier than going and try to park yourself. Our guide was awesome, funny and informative.
Had sat at the very back. Between the noise of the a/c, the music and the static of the microphone it was disappointing. We were the oldest couple on the bus. We should have been offered the seats at the front,
We looked into this tour to circumvent stressing over the Parks Canada shuttle lottery. We did not anticipate walking away feeling so satisfied about the investment! So if you’re unsure, I say go for it. We were glad to have Heather as our guide - she had a lot of fun facts to share throughout the 7 hours we spent together. She even gave us a priceless pro tip when going up Moraine Lake for spectacular views, and food recommendations when in Banff. Thank you, Heather!!
My family had a great experience visiting Lake Moraine, Lake Louise, and the town of Banff (plus a couple of other quick stops for photos) with Banff Everyday tours. Our guide, Jeremy, was a great communicator and was very accommodating to the needs of the group throughout the day. He also did a great job keeping the kids engaged during the long drive with a trivia game and interesting stories (and a few dad jokes). Overall, we enjoyed visiting the beautiful sights of Banff while not having to deal with driving or crowded parking lots!
Absolutely fabulous trip. Dan, the tour guide, was one of the best I have had after dozens in Europe and Asia. Smart, detailed, funny--he was the whole package. It was the best part of my trip on the Rocky Mountaineer (and that might be because I booked it separately). Book this trip. It literally saved my very expensive/not worth it journey on the RM.
Dave is such an amazing guide! It was my first time in Calgary and Dave’s knowledge, energy, and humour made the experience a 12+/10. Definitely recommend the tour to everyone! And ask for Dave if you can!!
We have booked the Canmore, Lake Lousie, Moraine Lake, and Banff with return to Calgary, with TripAdvisor. It was a 1 day trip, that ended up a bit over 12 hours. Heather, who was our driver and tour guide, has been probably the best tour guide we have ever had. She was engaging, funny, knowledgeable. A pleasure to be with. We definitely recommend her as a guide, in particular, and this TripAdvisor tour package in general.
Dave was an outstanding guide, fun, entertaining and knowledgeable who made our journey to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Banff memorable.
Wonderful experience with the tour company and especially the tour guide Joshua. Amazing experience and will definitely recommend to friends and family.
