It was amazing and exciting with Hana and James. They were very knowledgeable and were there to explain any questions along the way. Tour was kept on schedule time , lunch was served buffet style, lots of choices. The bus was air-conditioned and comfortable. It was worth every penny !

Amazing Trip

The trip to the mountain lakes was absolutely mind-blowing. The tour guide and the driver shared incredible facts and historical background of the places I visited. But did miss waterfalls as the road was blocked. Overall was a great experience.

Banff National Park and Lakes

The ride to all the lakes and to the Takakka waterfall was worth every penny. Our guides Luke, Sean, and Colin did a fantastic job. We even saw a bear. It was a beautiful experience.

Awesome trip

I was a little skeptical while purchasing the $ 230.00 Mountain Lakes and Waterfalls day trip from Calgary. However, after my trip I have absolutely no regrets. So glad that I purchased this tour. It was just amazing. I wish we had more time to spend and explore each location. However, we covered so many iconic spots that spending more time at each location was not an option. This day trip will remain as one of my most memorable trips. I travelled alone and encountered no problems. I never felt alone and met such amazing people. Every detail of the trip was well planned, organized and everything was on time. Many many thanks to our expert driver Rebecca and tour guide Lui. Rebecca's driving skills are fabulous!!! I highly recommend this tour. This trip reflects the quote- “Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer”

Awesome tour!

Jon, our driver was great! He was very confident and also had a wealth of information about the area. McKenzie was also fabulous. She was very professional and kind to everyone. I would highly recommend this tour of the different mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. The only disappointment was that we had 15 minutes to visit Lake Louise at the Fairmont Hotel. I would have loved to stay there all afternoon!
