Highlights
  • Lake Louise - Lake Louise has been drawing in visitors to the Canadian Rockies for over a century, and for good reason.

This famous alpine lake in Banff National Park is an unbelievable turquoise blue colour, fed by glacier melt and set to a backdrop of Mount Victoria and hanging glaciers.

As our guest on this small group tour, you’ll not only get guaranteed & expedited entry to the stunning Lake Louise, saving you the stress of waiting in long lines for crowded buses or having to arrive before 3am to get a parking spot, but also a tailored itinerary from your expert local guide based on your preferences.

Don’t get fooled into a shorter stop! At Lake Louise, you will want (and have) 2 hours to explore the lakeside trails, rent a canoe, explore the Chateau Lake Louise or simply hang out under a tree and watch the world go by!

Your expert local guide will be on hand to give you all the information you need and show you where our local secret spots are, perfect for photos and away from the crowds.

Awesome Tour of Banff Must See Highlights - What an awesome small group tour. I would highly recommend!! Rae was a fanatic guide who was super knowledgeable, kind, and upbeat. She created a positive vibe for the group and we had an excellent day. Lake Louise, Montaine Lake, and the additional stops along the way back did not disappoint!!

Amazing tour...amazing tour guide. - If there were a 6-star review, I'd leave it. Rae was amazing...my wife and took the Best of Banff tour...bucket list checked. The other visitors on our tour were awesome. Mother Nature takes care of the tour highlights and the beauty is astounding...but the energy, care, and sincere love of her job really made Rae shine. Radventures listen up...she's a rock star. Take care of her, because she took great care of our group.

Start of a great Banff vacation - Good leisurely pace through the stops…no rushing. Seemed more time per stop allotted than on several other options advertised on Viator. The guide (Brandon) was really good.

Tour Increased Appreciation for the Parks - Our guide (on 10/1/23) was exceptional! He had indepth knowledge of the area, animal behavior, park history, and the local and surrounding environments. His tremendous sense of humor kept us entertained all day and made the day exceptionally fun. Our questions were welcomed and his answers "taught" us all many things during the tour, which helped us appreciate the unique beauty of the parks even more.

Too expensive - Very very expensive for a ride out to lake louise and moraine lake. We did have 2 hours at each lake which was great, however driver did not keep us informed while driving about interesting facts en route. Even if he did he couldn’t be heard at back of bus. No lunch was provided and we had to ask driver to make a stop so that we could grab a quick takeaway lunch. We had one other stop for about 10 minutes but this excursion really is only a bus ride out to both lakes
