Wonderful tour to Lake Louise - We want to send kudos to our tour company, and most of all, to our guide, Eli, and our bus driver, Liam. Eli was so knowledgeable and comfortable in his role. I especially have to thank him for finding my Penguins hat on the bus after the tour and dropping it off at my hotel. Over and above, for sure! The tour itself was well planned and enjoyable. Photo stops for animal sightings and great vistas much appreciated. Thanks to both of you!

Amazing tour - The views were amazing..it's like you're in a painting! I wished we had a portable battery charger for our celfones. We could have taken more pictures. Our driver/tour guide, Jeff(?) was awesome and did an extra research about some knowledgeable information

Worth the $$$ for the convenience and experience of the lakes. - Jeff was a great guide and we liked learning about the history of mountain rescue on our way to the lakes. This tour is the perfect length of time at an amazing price. It might seem unnecessary considering the Roam and city transportation; however this is well worth the extra $$. No hassle, no waiting for buses, no race to snag a spot on the public buses - just show up and enjoy the next 4 hours at the most beautiful lakes we’ve ever seen!

Moraine Lake - A mesmerising sight - Outstanding. Moraine Lake is truly a sight to behold. Words cannot describe the beauty of the place and the surrounding mountains. It has to be seen to be appreciated.
