I wouldn’t really call this a “tour” but rather a bus ride to and from both lakes. If that’s all you’re looking for, this is a great option. They gave us 1.5 hours at each lake which was plenty of time if you’re not looking to do any hikes up there. The pickup spot in Lake Louise Samson Mall was very unclear as there were no signs for a “viator” tour and the bus driver didn’t know what Viator was when we were looking for the right bus. Not sure if the bus company changes each time but ours was with Flix Bus, a big coach bus that took a group of about 30 or so people around. If you can’t get the shuttles or you want a guaranteed ride, this is a good option
Great way to see both Lake Louise and Moraine with plenty of time. Double check your pickup location….we thought we chose Lake Louise area but it actually was Banff train station. Allowed time to make it but understand where the pick up is.
That there are very few facilities like toilets at Moraine Better to have good shoes to walk on rocks Where to eat your lunch
efficient way to see the beautiful lakes, very friendly and enthusiastic driver. comfortable bus.
This trip provides exactly what it says it will, transport to the lakes and back. If that’s what you’re looking for, which we were, this is thrip for you. Could have done with longer at each lake to be fair, but knew what we were getting when we booked. Driver was friendly and chatty, price was reasonable. Would use this company again
