Red the driver/ bus driver

Red was an amazing driver/ tour guide. He had great energy, taught us about what we were seeing along the way, and ensured we were all safe. Half of the experience was the ride with him. Make sure you’re reserve a ride with Red!

Stress free

Everything was on time and as expected. The driver was very nice; the lakes were beautiful. We liked that we went in the afternoon, only a few people at the Moraine lake!

Fantastic!

Dan was an excellent driver and gave us lots of facts / best options to maximise time! Both lakes were fantastic! Only point forward would be to make it clear we would miss the timing slot for canoeing at Moriane Lake. However that takes nothing away from the excellent service from Dan!

Very Disappointed.

They canceled my tour and now you want a review? I understand one of the lakes was closed but you offer your client an alternative. Very disappointed!! Called customer service and they were no help just reading off a card like a robot. Still waiting for my refund .

Service and comfort below par

Both lakes were stunning but I wish we had had more time to hike along the shores. 1 hour and 15 minutes felt tight each time, especially given the crowds. Our driver was friendly, but did not provide any added value to the trip. He just drove us to each location. Also, the seats in the bus were extremely uncomfortable. I have long legs, and I just didn't fit. I had to sit with my legs angled into my husband's space. Overall, I am glad we went, but the service and comfort was below what we were expecting.
