Gabi looked after us, had great knowledge about the lakes and local wildlife.
Really glad Gabi looked after you so well and that her knowledge of the lakes and local wildlife added to the evening. She's brilliant at that route and we hope to have you back out here again sometime.
Excellent trip with our guide Kirsty! The scenery was stunning. Kirsty was fun, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Got to see some wildlife.
Kirsty, stunning scenery and some wildlife to top it off, sounds like a brilliant Moraine and Lake Louise evening. She brings real enthusiasm to every tour and it's great to hear it landed so well. Hope to have you back out here again sometime.
The sunset at Lake Louise was beautiful Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
A beautiful sunset at Lake Louise with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide alongside it, that's a pretty good evening. Really glad it delivered and hope to have you back out here again sometime.
Sunset tour of Moraine Lake and Lake Louise was brilliant. Bee and Marnie were super friendly, informative, and great at finding wildlife. We were able to spot two bears, two elk, and at least three or four deer. We had Moraine Lake practically to ourselves and both it and Louise were breathtaking. 10/10 recommend.
B and Marnie is a seriously good pairing for an evening out. Two bears, two elk and three or four deer with Moraine Lake practically to yourselves at that hour, that's the whole point of going small and going at the right time. Really glad it delivered the full version. 10/10 right back at you.
Lake Moraine was beautiful and well worth the early morning rise
Thank you so much! Moraine Lake really does make that early start worth every minute. We'd love to welcome you back for another beautiful morning in the Rockies soon!
Finally got to see Lake Louise after two aborted attempts in 2019 and really enjoyed the calm evening vibe at both lakes. The big downpour and not finding any wildlife on our way back was all mother nature’s fault! And wasn’t for lack of trying. Gareth was a calm and careful driver which I really appreciated and I’d gladly tour with him again! Thanks for a lovely trip :)
Thank you for such a lovely and good-humoured review, and we are so glad you finally got your Lake Louise moment after 2019! We completely agree that the big downpour and the wildlife keeping themselves hidden were entirely mother nature's doing and we're really glad that came through in the spirit of the evening rather than dampening it. Gareth's calm and careful driving is something we are genuinely proud of and it's wonderful to hear it gave you confidence throughout. We'd love to welcome you back for another lovely trip with him soon!
Worth the early morning rising. It was magical and serene. We had the absolute best morning. Liam was our guide and he was really great. Knowledgeable. Friendly. Makes a great hot coco and coffee drink.
Magical and serene is exactly how a sunrise at Moraine Lake should feel! Thank you so much. We're so glad Liam made the early alarm worth every second and that the hot drinks added a cosy finishing touch to the morning. He'll be very pleased his barista skills got a mention too! ☕ We'd love to welcome you back for another beautiful morning in the Rockies soon!
James was a great guide on this thoroughly enjoyable tour. Although we didn’t witness a sunset, due to very cold and cloudy weather conditions, we got to see incredible sights - and wildlife! At Moraine Lake, a cute little Pika posed for photos. The Rockpile offered up spectacular views over the stunning Moraine Lake, and we had it all to ourselves. As we approached Lake Louise, we got lucky - a Mama grizzly bear and her cub! James allowed us to watch them, at close range (from the safety of the van, of course), without hurrying us along. An experience that will stay with each of us forever, I’m sure. Lake Louise was moody, and beautiful, under low cloud (with snow threatening). The food package included in the deluxe offering was great - a delicious turkey roll, a piece of fruit and banana bread. James is a very friendly, personable, knowledgeable guide, who made this tour a wonderful experience.
What a beautifully written review, thank you so much! A Pika posing for photos at Moraine Lake followed by a mama grizzly and her cub approaching Lake Louise, all with the place largely to yourselves under dramatic cloud and threatening snow, that is a truly unforgettable evening in the Rockies. James's patience in letting everyone soak in that bear sighting without rushing is exactly the kind of thoughtfulness we are so proud of. We're also really glad the food package hit the mark too! James will be absolutely overjoyed to read this and we'd love to welcome you back again someday.
A lovely lady who was very knowledgable of the area and even she got a first on our way up to Moraine Lake with the fresh fall of snow. The lakes were stunning and atmospheric with the cloud offering beautiful photo opportunities. Georgia showed us all the best photo spots and the timing meant we almost had our own private Moraine Lake. We were unlucky with the wildlife spotting but you can’t win them all. Georgia is a very considerate and safe driver too through some very wet weather on the journey and even dropped us off back at our hotel. I wish Georgia the very best in her career.
Thank you for such a thoughtful and generous review! Fresh snow on Moraine Lake with atmospheric cloud and stunning photo opportunities sounds like an absolutely magical evening, even without the wildlife cooperating. Georgia's knowledge of every photo spot and her calm, safe driving through wet conditions are exactly the qualities that make her such a valued member of our team. We're so touched by your well wishes for her career and we'll make sure she sees every word of this. We'd love to welcome you back to the Rockies again someday!
Had a great night. Our guide, Janine, was a very enthusiastic lady with a lot of knowledge and facts about nature etc.
Hartelijk dank voor de leuke recensie! We zijn blij te horen dat jullie avond zo bijzonder was, het enthousiasme en de kennis over de natuur die onze gidsen meebrengen maken echt het verschil. We hopen jullie snel weer te mogen verwelkomen in Banff!
