Fantastic sunrise experience!

Such a great experience. Our tour guide was great - super friendly, prompt, helpful, and made for a great experience. We had the perfect amount of time at each spot, and logistically was SO easy. And the views were incredible. This is well worth the very early start time from Calgary :)

Excellent sunrise tour with Ahmed

Last week we went on a guided sunrise tour to Moraine Lake and Lake Louise, our guide Ahmed came to pick us up and he was right on time. Afterwards we drove towards the lakes and Ahmed told us very captivating stories about the lake and our surroundings, he was an amazing guide, when we reached the lakes he gave us options for things we could do. Excellent experience!

Sunrise

The sunrise was more magical than we could’ve imagined, we got very lucky with the whether but I’d highly recommend bringing a couple blankets as it’s fairly chilly in the am! And our tour guide Eray was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the land, as well he took great pictures for us!

Lake Louise Lake Moraine tour

The history of the area by our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Robin. She also sent a text message the day before, kept up with the people on tour and graciously answered all our questions. Lake Moraine was our favorite site.

Never showed up!

Sorry, we can't recommend this tour at all. When looking for sunrise tours, we picked this one specifically because it had a pickup near our hotel in Canmore, so we wouldn't have to drive into Banff in the early morning, and park there all day. We received multiple messages from Viator and from Banff Everyday Tours referencing our "Unique Sunrise Experience" and "Canmore Pick-up 02:30". So we were up and waiting at the pick-up point at 2:20 for a van that never showed! 2:30 came and went, then 3, then 3:30.... The whole time we were calling the contact number which they provided and no one ever answered; no one ever called back. We emailed the contact we were given - no response. We ended up calling Viator (who DID answer their phone) and they couldn't get a hold of the tour company either. I understand it was 4 in the morning - but if you're operating a tour at that hour, you should have a way to be contacted at that hour! We never did get a call back - only a message sent to Viator explaining that - even though "Sunrise" was in the name of our booking - even though we'd ordered breakfast to be included - some dope had put us down for a daytime tour. To add insult to injury, even the inadequate apology referenced the "Unique Sunrise Experience" tour and "Canmore pick-up 02:30". We ended up having to book a different tour with a different company on a different day, when the weather was rainy and foggy. Our advice is: if you're going to risk it with Banff Everyday Tours, call them (not Viator) ahead of time - during regular business hours - and check and re-check the details.

Operator response

Our dear Guest, We are sorry you had a bad experience. Let us clear out some points here. •We never have your "Sunrise Tour" booking with us. Our records on Viator shows that you booked a "Moraine Lake-Lake Louise Tour" with us. Thats the reason no one came to pick you up on that hours. We organized dozens of sunrise tours and hosted hundreds of guests all around the world on our "Sunrise Tours". Forget about not showing up, we were never even 10 minutes late for any pickup. Looks like you accidentally booked another tour or there was a technical issue on your booking that is not related with us. Once again, we are sorry to hear you had such experience. Best Regards.

Sunrise tour was a homerun!

Deniz was a great guide; very personable, knowledgeable of local history and kept on schedule. I am so glad that he did the driving, so that we tourists did not have to fight traffic, crowds, or scramble to find bus shuttle tickets. We were well positioned on the rockpile at Lake Moraine to see the sunrise. My wife and I were able to walk the Lake Louise shoreline. So we felt no need to return to either Lake. And we saw a fantastic rainbow rising out of Lake Louise! (I'm sure that Deniz had a hand in that as well LOL)
