Well organised and timing are perfect. Bus rattled a lot as if it had something wrong with it. Take your own food as lakes are expensive

Very easy tour and a great way to see Lake Louise & Lake Moraine. My kids enjoyed the bus WiFi, parents enjoyed the small size group, and we picked a great time (afternoon) to enjoy both sites with little crowds.

Fun in Banff

Good tour, needed each stop to be 90 minutes, not 75. We had to rush to hike a trail or canoe. We still had a great time!
