Kayla (and her mom) made the tour extra special :) - My mom and I loved our sunrise tour with Alpenglow (what a beautiful word!). Communication beforehand was quick and helpful and we felt at ease immediately upon meeting Kayla and her lovely mother. She provided blankets and drinks and took us to a lesser-known spot to view the sunrise at Moraine Lake, unimpeded by trees, just the full vista for us to drink in. The snack of homemade banana bread that accompanied our drive to Lake Louise was delicious and much appreciated, a sweet bonus to an already wonderful tour.
Kayla also provided a lot of helpful tips for the rest of our trip, and when she found out our tour to the Icefields the following day had been cancelled, she went out of her way to find an alternative for us. I couldn't have asked for a better start to our trip, and I would absolutely recommend this gem of a tour company.

Wonderful, intimate experience! - Such a fun experience! Brandon hosted us for our private tour and created an itinerary based off our desires. He was fun, knowledgeable, and respectful. We really enjoyed our time with him and highly recommend Banff Alpenglow to those looking for a more intimate lake Louise/moraine lake experience!

The guide baked banana bread for his tour group. - I booked this on a referral from people we met on a Banff excursion. Their website specifies Canmore & Banff pickups but they were willing to pick us up in Lake Louise since that is where we were going to be already for the date we had available. Booked with only 2 days notice & they gave us a discount due to the referral. Our guide, Riley, was right on time at every stop. Between blankets, reusable cups for coffee & hot cocoa and his own homemade banana bread (surprise!), we were very well taken care of. Couldn’t have been a nicer outing.

Sunset Experience - We did the sunset tour with Kayla and it was excellent despite the weather. She was knowledgeable about the area and easy to talk to. I highly recommend the Company and Kayla’s banana bread

Unforgettable!! - Truly unforgettable! We took our sunrise trip out to Moraine Lake with Brandon and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible it was. If we had taken the public shuttle, it may have been less expensive, but we would have been with tons of people and not had the insider information that Brandon provided. We had a quiet spot pretty much to ourselves and had the most incredible view of the true Alpenglow. When we got up to walk around we realized how many people were in the other areas and would have hated to share the experience with all of the tourists around us. That was worth it for us! Brandon also took family photos for us, kept us warm with blankets and hot drinks and gave us some excellent tips like to hike up to the lookout to see the even more turquoise view of Lake Louise. At the end of our trip, we asked for recommendations for hiking to a summit. The next day we hiked Ha Ling on his recommendation - it was also amazing! We loved supporting a smaller business there! This tour with Banff Alpenglow was one of the BEST experiences of our trip! Also, Alpenglow is our new favorite word. Thank you!!

Top Notch Tour Guides! - I cannot give enough stars for this amazing company! Brandon (our guide), Kayla, and Riley are top notch! We used them for a 3 day sunset tour and had the time of our lives! Brandon was great at giving information, pivoting the schedule (we had 4 kids 8 and under), and making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. The tour provides so much for extra comfort, including some amazing banana bread. On our next trip to Banff, we will be definitely book again!

Excellent company to see Lake Moraine and Lake Louise - A brilliant company to take to lake moraine and louise. A new company, but full of knowledge.
Not sure what their tours are during the winter season, but definitely book for the sunrise when it starts.
Good communication throughout.
The banana bread offered is truly the best I've had.
Thank you for a great time and all the info you gave on other stuff too.

Amazing No Worry Tour! - Such an excellent tour, from start to finish. Kayla picked us up right on time, had great communication prior to the trip, and really cared about us having a great experience throughout the day. Definitely a must do tour and she really wanted us to get the most out of the day for us. Even the weather was perfect. We will remember this tour forever. Thank you Kayla for the wonderful day!
