Traveler Tips
Don't t drive to sites because they are very, very crowded.
The sights are all packed if you travel by car and attempt to do them yourself but there is separate parking for the organised trips so you park close to the locations and don't have to wait.

Spectacular
William_S, Jun 2022
Brad was a skilled driver and a great host. We were able to catch sightings of the wildlife. The stops were majestic.
Majestic and beautiful

Mike and Claudie, our bus driver and tour guide, added information and fun to our tour. They made sure we saw the maximum of lakes, mountains, and waterfalls—plus trains and wildlife, too!
Awesome guides made for exceptional experience
David_D, Jun 2022
The tour guides went out of their way to add additional stops as 2 planned places were still closed due to snow pack on the roads. The history, folklore, and banter was amazing and was absolutely fascinating!

Amazing day out
Marilyn22262, Nov 2019
enjoyed the beautiful lakes, such vibrant colours it was unbelievable, from green to blue, highly recommended
Gorgeous
Gina O, Oct 2019
The tour was well organized and Colin and Luke were a very funny duo. The Brewster bus was very new and comfy.
I was on one of the last tours for the season so Moraine Lake was starting to freeze, Lake Louise was a bit foggy early but then Yoho NP had no snow and we got to see Emerald Lake in all her beauty. The natural bridge in the same area was throwing wonderful colours too. I'm so glad I got to see the Lakes differently (snow vs no snow vs fog). Makes for diverse memories.
Great Trip-Highly Recommend

Great Trip and highly recommend. Driver was excellent. Don't t drive to sites because they are very, very crowded. Taking this tour is the best and well worth the money.
Tour Review
Gary M, Aug 2019
Our tour of the mountains and lakes around Banff on July 29th was all we could ever ask for. Every stop was spectacular and the commentary was delightfully informative. Our driver, John and his helper, MacKenzie served us with great attitudes and were very engaging on the entire trip.
Lovely trip
Claireh1019, Aug 2019
The trip was great. The sights are all packed if you travel by car and attempt to do them yourself but there is separate parking for the organised trips so you park close to the locations and don't have to wait. You get just the right amount of time at each place and the driver/guide was really informative and a lovely guy! The only reason that this was not a 5 star review is that the lunch was terrible! And when I say terrible, I actually mean verging on inedible. I have never tasted food with so little flavour, we were starving afterwards. This was the only downside and I would definitely suggest the company look at resolving it or choosing another restaurant.
A happy - amazing day!
Ronald L, Aug 2019
Matthew and Shane were perfect hosts for day. Matthew's humor and personal stories were outstanding - kept us laughing and engaged the entire trip. Both guides were very knowledgeable. Driving skills were outstanding. Would recommend this tour to all visitors - of all abilities. Comfortable bus. "Mr Rogers" aught
to be cast in the movie. Explained things so well with a relaxed and easy manner.
