Sunset tour of Maligne and Louise Lakes - We had a great sunset tour of Maligne and Louise Lakes with Aaron. This was a last minute option and we're so glad we did it. Aaron was knowledgeable and great sense of humour, we loved hearing about 'The Boss' and we're sure you will too. This was a small group tour which was better to get the most out of our time in both areas. Because of this Aaron had time to take photos of us instead of relying on selfies, so much better to capture such beautiful places. Nothing was too much trouble, the right guide can make or break an excursion, rest assured, if you're lucky enough to get Aaron you'll have Aced it.

Radventures totally recommended - Extraordinary tour that includes Lake Moraine, Lake Louise, some additional quick stops and the possibility of looking wildlife.
Really like that they have small groups, and the quality of the guide and vehicle were awesome.

Great tour! - We had a great afternoon exploring the lakes with Liam who was a knowledgeable and fun host. The lakes were truly beautiful - definitely take time
to walk around the lakes where it will be more peaceful and where you are more likely to see wildlife.

Great tour and amazing tour guide (Lubo) - We really enjoyed the tour. Of course the natural beauty of those locations were breathtaking and mesmerising, but the highlight of our tour was our guide Lubo. He was very knowledgeable, passionate and great with kids. Our young son who is usually quite reserved with new people really enjoyed Lubo's company. He wanted to give the tour five billion stars rating purely for Lubo :)

Don’t let the sun set on your chance to book Radventures Sunset Lakes Tour! - I’m a Canadian living abroad, and finally brought my British partner to Banff to experience the Rockies for the first time and booked the Sunset Lake Louise and Moraine tour. Our fun and informative guide Ollie took a wonderfully small group of four of us to the Lakes, and gave us detailed information about their history and natural elements. He advised on the best viewpoints and lookouts according to the group member’s individual ability and interest, and was very clear on timings. He also took the initiative to offer to take photos of us at every site! The Lakes were phenomenal, but Ollie really went above and beyond when we rounded Morant’s Curve (of train photograph fame), and as we carried on, several minutes down the road, passed an approaching train. Ollie turned the van around and took us back to the Curve and safely helped us cross the mountain road to take a recreation of the famous photo, which was a very special and rare experience! His own excitement at seeing it added to ours. He also kept good time to take us down the Bow Valley Parkway to look for wildlife, and shared amazing facts about wildlife, both answering our questions and sharing his own favourite tidbits on various animal and plant species.
I would highly recommend Radventures, you certainly feel you’re getting a more local perspective and curated experience than the large tour companies, and you couldn’t go wrong with Ollie for a tour guide!

Great time to visit Lake Louise - This was a brilliant experience. Sunset is the perfect time to experience these beautiful lakes and it’s far quieter at Lake Louise than during the day. Our tour guide Cameron couldn’t have been more helpful. Very keen to help with photos and impart his knowledge of the local area and wildlife. Would highly recommend this trip

Wasted $$$ - This was the most disappointing tour Of my 17 day Canada trip. While we did go to Moraine Lake & Lake Louise (both beautiful and worth a visit) it was nothing more than a driver and a drop off. There was no designated place to have our picnic dinner. We sat on a bench at lake Louise balancing food and drink in our lap.
Our driver LUBO was certainly nice enough but gave us limited information about the two lakes. There was NO WILDLIFE ADVENTURE which is why I chose this late afternoon early evening tour. All we saw was highway between Banff and the two lakes . This trip is misrepresentative of what the tour is advertised as. I think I'm owed at least a partial refund.
