Amazing Banff! - This was an amazing experience! The beauty of the Banff area is on full show. I would definitely recommend taking a group tour. Explore Banff was a great way to see both amazing lakes and so much easier to be ferried around. Our guide Cam was a wealth of information and a very kind and helpful young man!

Amazing tour and Guide - Austin was great! He had a lot of knowledge to share and made the overall experience even better. Gave a great trial to hike while at the Moraine Lake as well as other fun things to do for our remaining time of our trip. Will definitely recommend to friend friends and would book again!

Our tour guide Brooke... - Our tour guide Brooke made such an enjoyable day for us. She was very informative about each sight we visited. The scenery was breathtaking and picturesque. The only downer was each stop was very crowded.

Beautiful Sunrise Trip - This was a great sunrise trip. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were given blankets for the viewing and hot beverages (tea, coffee, and hot chocolate). On the way home we got fruit snacks for a little treat. The views themselves were amazing.

Must do Moraine lake visit - Booked the sunrise tour to Moraine lake. It was early morning pickup from a nearby hotel. Went smoothly and no wait. The tour guide was pleasant and gave a brief overview on our drive up to the lake and then walked us to the rockpile- it was already pretty crowded by the time we got there - around 5:30 am or so. Got some hot chocolate and a warm blanket (not cold so used it to sit down on the cold rocky ledge). The views are amazing. Unfortunately it was cloudy and didn’t get the best sunrise experience but still worth it. It would be priceless if you get the full sunrise experience( we got a glimpse of the sun for a few minutes) I’m sure you can’t step foot in there when there are more people there later in the day.

Must see! - I cannot recommend Explore Banff and our guide Cam enough! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, fun, and full of breathtaking moments. Cam’s knowledge of Banff’s history, wildlife, and hidden gems added so much depth to the tour—he didn’t just take us from place to place, he brought the entire landscape to life with fascinating stories and insights. What stood out the most was Cam’s energy and enthusiasm. He clearly loves what he does, and it made the tour feel more like an adventure with a friend than a formal excursion. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt comfortable, answered every question with patience, and even gave us great tips on where to eat and explore after the tour. The scenery in Banff is stunning on its own, but having a guide like Cam made it unforgettable. I walked away with amazing memories, beautiful photos, and a much deeper appreciation for the area. If you’re visiting Banff, do yourself a favor—book with Explore Banff and ask for Cam. You won’t regret it!

Great tour! - Great way to see the lakes! Sunrise is not to be missed at Moraine Lake! And you’ll beat the crowds at Lake Louise! Our tour guide Cam was great! Gave us terrific info yet allowed us time to explore the lakes on our own! Totally worth it!!

Stunning Sunrise Experience! - From the time Josh picked up us and dropped us off five hours later it was amazing. I appreciated the smaller shuttle versus the larger Park Canada tour bus we used last time. Josh was very personable, knowledgeable and the most professional, energetic (especially at 4am!) and accommodating tour guide I’ve ever had. He just had a very good pulse of the tour audience and knew when to speak and have silence. He provided hot coffee and tea which was perfect for the sunrise at Moraine Lake. My wife and I loved the tailored experience compared to a giant tour bus experience. We will definitely be using this company and hopefully Josh again next season. Thanks for making our time there both wonderful and memorable.
