Fantastic day!

What a fantastic day we had, beautiful lakes and waterfalls and amazing scenery. The driver and host Gerald and Bri were a great duo with their knowledge and entertainment all along the way. I would highly recommend this tour.

Better to visit from June onwards

Really looking forward to this tour but in the end it was too early in the season to get the most from it. Lake Louise was frozen but still beautiful, Lake Morraine was inaccessible, the road the Takakkaw falls was also closed. The Emerald lake was lovely we also visited the Field visitor centre, natural rock bridge

Operator response

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the beauty of Lake Louise, Emerald Lake, the Natural Bridge, and your visit to Field. Early in the season, some iconic locations like Moraine Lake and Takakkaw Falls remain inaccessible due to snow and seasonal road closures, which is a normal part of spring in the Rockies. We hope you'll have the opportunity to visit again later in the season to experience everything at its fullest!

Love mountain lakes and water falls!!

This tour was great, even though it overlapped with stops we had already made, the guides provided so much additional information which made it interesting. The buffet lunch was great too. My only concern was that a change in pick up time was not reflected in the app, we missed the pickup time but luckily our hotel was able to sort it out and give us a ride to the next stop.

A must do experience.

A great day of exploring some stunning scenery with Brewsters Brad and Jamie. A really informative tour with lots of interesting and relevant information provided by both Brad and Jamie. Great advice on the best photo spots and Jamie on hand to take photos too. A chilled and fun vibe. Couldn’t have asked for more. (Jamie’s mum-he’s doing fine!)

Operator response

Hi 384keria, Thank you for your lovely feedback! We’re so glad Brad and Jamie made your day exploring the Rockies informative, fun, and relaxed. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words, to our team and to Jamie's mum too!

Stunning Scenery

This was a great start to our holiday in Western Canada - the weather was amazing, the scenery outstanding and our driver and guide (Nathan and Jesse) were the perfect double act keeping us all entertained whilst providing a great insight into the local history. This is an area where brochures advertsing it do not do justice to its awe-inspiring beauty

Operator response

Hi karensB1188PG, What a wonderful way to start your holiday! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the commentary from Nathan and Jesse- they really do make a great team. You’re absolutely right, no photo can capture just how awe-inspiring this part of the world is and we really appreciate you choosing to travel it with us. Thanks for your lovely review, and we hope the rest of your holiday was just as beautiful!

Spectacular mountains, lakes and waterfalls

The perfect day at the start of an adventure to Canada. The whole day was packed with stunning scenery and WOW moments. Crystal clear lakes, amazing mountains, trees, landscapes and empty wild terrain. But the magic atmosphere was created by the Tour driver Matt Roger and his side-kick Jessie. They were so friendly, professional and knowledgeable. This trip set the high standard that was yet to come from my trip amazing tri[ to Canada and Alaska. Thank you Brewster Sightseeing.

Operator response

We’re so glad you enjoyed the stunning scenery and that Matt Rodgers and Jessie made the day so memorable. We’re thrilled to have been part of the start of your Canada and Alaska adventure!
