Excellent tour!. Very...
Excellent tour!. Very prompt communication before the trip, clear instructions about pickup and the tour guide (Alyssa) was awesome. She gave excellent info about the place, the history and was very friendly. Both the lakes (Louise and Moraine) were wonderful! Highly recommend this tour
Operator response
We're so glad everything went smoothly from the communication before your tour to the day itself! Alyssa will be delighted to hear you enjoyed her stories and information about the area. It's wonderful that both Lake Louise and Moraine Lake lived up to expectations. Thank you for the recommendation!

Get the most of your visit to these beautiful Lakes
Josh and Ben were very welcoming and knowledgable. A good 2 hours at each Lake and helpful insider tips on where to get the best views, and how to make the most of the time. The drive along parkway gave a good opportunity to learn more about the wildlife and orientation of the area. If you have a car you could drive yourself / get shuttles / work it all out yourself - but much easier to go with Explore Banff to just relax and enjoy the experience.
Operator response
We're glad you found the tour an easy and relaxing way to experience both lakes! The insider tips and information along the drive are a big part of what we aim to offer, so it's great to hear they helped you make the most of your time. Thank you for choosing Explore Banff Tours and for the thoughtful recommendation.

Not worth the money!!!
The driver was on time. Said he had coffee and hot chocolate for us, but did not have creamer. He obit had sugar for the coffee. The hot chocolate was very watered down. The car was super stuffy with 14 people inside. We had to ask him to give us some air. We only got to spend about 45 minutes at Moraine Lake and the ad said it was half a day tour with an option of going to Lake Louise. Majority of the time was spent picking up and dropping off people. We also did not get to see the sunrise as it was cloudy and raining a bit. The driver did not seem to be interested in talking to anyone except to those who initiated the conversation with him first.
Operator response
We're sorry to hear the tour didn't meet your expectations. We understand the cloudy weather and lack of sunrise were disappointing, although unfortunately these are outside our control. To clarify, the Lake Louise visit is an optional upgrade that must be selected when booking, while our Moraine Lake tour includes 1.5–2 hours at the lake. We checked our records from what we believe is your tour, which show approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes at Moraine Lake. We also apologize for the issues with the drinks and vehicle temperature. Thank you for sharing your feedback—we'll be reviewing the experience internally to see where we can improve.

Beautiful scenery
It’s an early morning, but totally worth it! Beat all the crowds to these amazing spots. As you are leaving all the crowds are showing up. So glad we did the early one!
Operator response
The sunrise tour is definitely the best way to beat the crowds! Such a beautiful tour and we are glad you enjoyed

Must See Experience
Sunrise at Moraine Lake is a must see experience. The scenery on its own is 5-star - but the easy pickup arrangements, not having to drive that early in the morning, the friendly guide and hot drinks and blankets just capped off our experience. Would 100% recommend.
Operator response
It sounds like Moraine Lake did exactly what Moraine Lake does best! We're so glad the early pickup, warm drinks, blankets, and friendly guidance made the morning easy and enjoyable.
