Good experience - Was a really nice experience. Pick was right on time at the spot we selected with help from the staff, even had dinner there after we got back at 9 pm. Nice to have a personal guide and small (but tal,ll) vehicle to get to Lake Louise and Morraine Lake. I'm not sure I'd choose sunset if we did this again though as it's not the best location for a sunset, but it did give us a full day to explore Banff ahead of time which was useful.

Moraine and Louise - Excellence - End to end experience fantastic. From very responsive communications and answers to our queries, to the actual tour itself. Everything you read about challenges of parking and crowds are true. The small group and van was so efficient , and maximised our times at the Lakes so comfortably and effectively. It's "drop off at the door" ! Our driver /guide wonderful. So friendly, full of helpful info and tips, and fun stories. And those elk and bears !! Thank you Dave and Lenka. PS. We did follow through on some of those tips already !! Fantastic.

Excellent Louise and Moraine Tour - The end-to-end experience for this tour was excellent. From the very prompt communication and responsiveness to our questions, to the actual tour itself. We had self driven to pretty much all sites in the Rockies but chose to do a tour for Louise and Moraine given all that we've read and been advised about some of the challenges with carparking and crowds. It's all true, not exaggerated ! So glad we did this. Small group in a very comfortable, clean van which made the travelling super easy and fast. Dave our driver was wonderful - friendly and helpful to boot. Engaging facts and stories. Dropped us off and pick up literally on site. Excellent tips for where and what. Seeing the elk (how the hell Dave saw them in the trees while driving stumps us) and those bears ! So lucky. Highly recommended. Thank you Lenka and Dave !

A lovely experience! - I had such a great experience on this tour! Lenka was a fantastic tour guide, super friendly and made the tour so fun. I was travelling alone, and she made sure I was comfortable and always offered to take my picture which I really appreciated 😊 She gave us so many fun facts on the drive and was so knowledgeable. The lakes were absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad I took this tour with Canmore Travel. Would highly recommend!

Great day viewing the Lakes! - Took the morning half day trip up to Lake Morraine followed by Lake Louise. Morraine was beautiful with a Rockpile climb and lakeshore hike to the falls. Beautiful! Then we traveled over to Lake Louise which was about a 20 minute drive. Even more beautiful but also busier with the Fairmont Hotel on site and lots of sightseers on hand. Then we finished the tour with a drive down the Bow parkway looking for wildlife. Got to spend about an hour and a half at each lake which was enough for us to soak them in. Our tour driver Andreas was awesome and answered all our questions with enthusiasm! Loved it!

"Lakeworthy" - Great Service from the organizer in terms of punctuality and Safety during the tour, with a very friendly driver who gave a lot of information and good travel tips. Both Moraine Lake we and Lake Louise confirm their reputation as one of Canada's most beautiful lakes.

Give this Local Tour Group Some Love - I am an Alberta who joined our family visiting from Ontario for a few days in Canmore. We were looking for a last minute day trip to see the sights and chose the Lake Louise Moraine Lake tour. It was exactly what we were looking for. Although I have been in the mountains hiking numerous times, our guide was able to share knowledge and insights that were new to me. The van was comfortable and the driver was helpful. The tour took us to a drop off location at Moraine lake for 1.5 hours then a short drive to lake Louise for another 1.5 hours. I was able to get in a 45 min hike at each location. Highly recommend Canmore Travel for your small group tour needs.

Lake Louise and Moraine awesomeness!!! - Our traverses with Canmore Travel was excellent. The ease with which they move around and get you to the front of the line is well worth it. Our guide Corey was very helpful and knowledgeable. I will use them again when I come back!!

Too expensive. Find another shuttle bus or visit less achallander lakes by car. - The driver was boring. Repeating on a loop that bears come to eat the berries by the side of the road and show us the berries as they run away pretty quickly leads me to believe that this guy from Toronto really has nothing to offer except to heat up the van. Imagine, he explains that it is through the digestive system of bears that berry bushes reproduce. What's more, he wants us to believe that the bear named The Boss travels from Banff to Montana. He says he's a wildlife specialist and knows all the bears in Banff personally. This nonsense may amuse outsiders, but Canadians who know wildlife are not fooled. Then, on the way back, he tells us that his agency is being hacked by competitors. I'm not interested in your administrative problems, Dave. $650 for two adults and one child is too expensive to pay for a shuttle. I'm disappointed.
