Wonderful experience. Beautiful scenery. Especially enjoyed the beautiful water color. The tour guide took us safely to the lakes. We were disappointed that we were not given explanations or information as we were driving. The guide probably talked to us 10 minutes in a 9 hour tour.
Great morning tour, Lake Louise and Lake Moraine. Comfortable coach, excellent driver/ guide, Miranda
The sights we saw were excellent BUT the bus driver and tour guide were OUTSTANDING. Lots of background information before and during the trip. Great information before the bus stops. This tour is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We’re thrilled the excellent sights were matched by outstanding service and informative commentary from your driver and guide. Thank you for your enthusiastic recommendation!
Gabe is a friendly delightful and informative guide. Tour is long afternoon but he told us lots of info about the area and the drives went fast. Loved the tour. We were informed and communicated with nicely. Good company.
We’re delighted Gabe’s friendly personality and local knowledge made the long afternoon and drives so enjoyable. Thank you for recognizing his communication and for your kind words about our company!
Neil Evans was an exceptional knowledgable and enthusiastic tour guide - 100% recommended
Great tour guide - knowledgeable and entertaining. He's a good one. We wish him the best on his next adventures in life.
We had a private half-day tour for Lake Louise and it was amazing! Gabriel was our driver and guide and quickly figured out what kind of afternoon we were hoping for! We went to Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Takawawa Falls. Gabriel gave us history of the area and recommendations for the rest of our trip. Having this personalized experience was worth every penny!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted Gabriel tailored your private afternoon to what you were hoping for and brought the area’s history to life at Lake Louise, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls.
The tour guide, Jake, was pretty hilarious and made it for a fun day. Would highly recommend to other people
Thank you so much for the kind words, and we'll make sure Jake sees this! We're thrilled you enjoyed your Discover Lake Louise (Spring & Fall Sightseeing) experience. Hope to see you back in Banff sometime soon!
