Great Day
Kulvinber, was great, good driver and patient. Great experience. Loved Emerald Lake, Johnson Canyon and Lake Louise. Weather wasn't great as we had a lot of rain.
Still great experience.

A very worthwhile trip
What a fabulous trip! The scenery was incredible and the weather cooperated fully. Our driver, Abdul. was fantastic. He was an excellent driver and very personable. He provided great information about where to go as well as being very clear about the amount of time we had at each stop. My husband has a health condition that makes walking a challenge at times, and I was particularly impressed that Abdul was very concerned about my husband walking up the path at Moraine Lake. It was a great day.
Operator response
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear that you had a great day and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We’ll definitely share your kind words with Abdul — it’s wonderful to hear that he made you feel comfortable, well-informed, and taken care of throughout the trip. We’re especially glad he was able to be mindful of your husband and make sure he was comfortable along the way. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you both back to the Rockies again! 🏔️😊

Disappointed with tour although beautiful lakes.
Was disappointed with the tour. Driver was 15 min late. Did not talk on way to lakes. Very brief descriptions at beginning and end of each drive. Wished we had taken a general shuttle.

Great tour! Worth the money.
Excellent tour! Well worth the money and allowed us a relaxed visit to lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Banff. Our tour guide/Bus driver was excellent, knowledgeable, educational and entertaining. However he was a bit hard to understand because English was his second language and he had a strong accent. The seats on the mini bus were a bit tight. But I would definitely recommend this tour!
Operator response

He Made the Journey Special !
Abdu made our trip truly special. He wasn’t just a driver—he made us feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for throughout the entire journey. He was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and always made sure we didn’t miss the beautiful moments. His positive energy and warm personality made the day even more enjoyable. We came for the breathtaking views, but Abdu was definitely one of the best parts of our experience. Thank you, Abdu, for making our family trip so memorable!!

Great trip for the whole family, from 17-year-olds to 88-year-olds!
We had a great experience on this trip. Our driver and tour guide, Abdul, arrived on time, provided us with lots of valuable advice, and planned the trip with a very reasonable schedule. My mom needed to use a small wheelchair, and Abdul was extremely helpful in making sure she was comfortable and that we enjoyed the trip to the fullest. The tour vehicle was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended!
