Fantastic way to see Lake Moraine, Lake Louise and so much more. Stress free travel! - This is the very best way to see the sites. Sufficient time at most of the locations. Lake Louise was serene, lake Moraine a spectacular shade of blue and Johnston Canyon was a nice hike. There is not enough time to get to the upper falls but plenty to get to the lower falls. Mike, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful even with words of advice for traveling in the city. If you are looking to see the sights I would recommend this tour 10/10. Traffic is heavy and parking difficult. With the tour all the stress is removed and you can just enjoy!

Worth every penny! - The views were spectacular! I took so many pictures that my battery almost died, so I put on a bonus pac and almost ran that out as well. Our your guide Andy was the best!!!

Full Day of incredible views and no parking issues - Well organized and time allowed at each location was sufficient. We ran a bit low on energy toward the end of the day and Jackson Canyon needed to be scheduled sooner than last (we're 70). Mike has incredible knowledge and Favio (driver) knows his driving skills! Highly recommend. Suggestion: Disclose "full day", bring lunch (for those with dietary issues), and move Jackson Canyon sooner than later.

Perfect - Went with my young adult daughter. Sights were beautiful. Sammy was funny and entertaining. Aprox 45 min at each place. Enough time as a taste of sights and know I will plan to go back and spend a day at each location to hike

Ben, our guide was super... - Ben, our guide was super friendly and informative. 1h20m is enough to barely make it to the upper falls at Johnston canyon. The stop could be made longer.

Great trip-well worth the money! - Everything about the trip was great! The coach bus was very comfortable. Our tour guide Gray was very friendly and made the trip really fun. We did the all day tour to Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and Johnston Canyon, and it was well worth it!!
