Superb experience!!! - My daughter arranged for an early morning ride on the Yellow Bus, and it was one of our best experiences of our week-long trip! We did not expect the excellent tour guide experience we received. Great crew!! Louis was the most gracious with knowledge, and guidance for another day’s trip he helped us plan out. 100% recommend, 100% will use Hop on Banff during our next trip. Thank you for everything. ❤️Joanie and Brenna

Great day !!! - It was an early start, but worth it, tour guide on bus very knowledgeable. Took a canoe out on lake louise, which for 30 minutes was about ÂŁ90, but worth it. Nice to have a break from driving

Well organized and you don't have to worry about parking your car. - The Hop-On and Hop-Off Banff Bus was great! They are very well organized, they help you with an itinerary. You don't have to hassle with parking and/or shuttles for Johnston Canyon, Lake Louise or Moraine Lake. Definitely worth it!

Fantastically Fun Day Touring - This was one of the most fun tours ever! We loved going on the yellow bus! Maybe because my hubby and I both grew up riding on one daily for many years. I do have to say it was a BIG plus seeing bears eating berries on the way in and the way back. If we took one of those large tour buses, we wouldn't have been able to drop the windows and take so many pictures. Not even sure the big busses would have even stopped. Oh the bus drivers were awesome as well! Dominique and Louis were both so friendly and knowledgeable! They had super personalities! We had plenty of time touring at each stop but loved the flexibility of their two bus schedule. Thank-you for the memories!

Great Day with Tyler and Lewis - My friend and I had a wonderful experience with the Hop On Hop Off bus company. We rode with both Tyler and Lewis and both were extremely helpful, not just with our itinerary for the day, but with suggestions for highlights in the area. The bus was always on time and you can choose how long to stay at any location. Wonderful. We chose to stay most of our day at Moraine Lake. We hiked the shoreline in the morning and it was gorgeous. We did the Rockpile at 11 am and later at 1:30 and squeezed in a hike to Consolation Lakes. We finished the day at Lake Louise.

Great day! - This tour was incredibly special. Every stop was so beautiful, and the tour guides make sure you have everything you need to plan out your perfect day across the stops. The weather was beautiful, the lakes were truly unbelievable, and it's something we'll never forget. We also, like many others, were unable to reserve Parks Canada passes, despite logging on months in advance and two days before at the moment reservations opened. This was a great solution to seeing both Moraine Lake and Lake Louise without those passes (plus, nice to have some time with someone else doing the driving :) ).
