- Roam7981980 contributionsAmazing tour guide and viewsJust had a fantastic tour to the lakes yesterday, Claire was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area! Highly recommend itWritten September 27, 2024
- CanuckAJ930 contributionsAmazing tourFrom booking the tour until actually going, correspondence and information has been first rate. We were kept informed of any updates or changes. Wenzy picked us up on time and was very friendly and welcoming. She checked throughout the day that everyone was comfortable. She had a lot of information and tips about Moraine Lake, Lake Louise and the whole area. 2 hours at Moraine Lake and Lake Louise was just about right. Not having to wait for buses and shuttles was a bonus. I would highly recommend Into the Wild Tours and especially WenzyWritten September 24, 2024
- Susie M0 contributionsPerfect from start to finish.Claire was exceptional. Tour guides like Claire enhance your entire experience. Sweet memories of our trip will include her.Written September 23, 2024
- ladybug9120 contributionsPerfect day. Great tour!We had the best day today on our tour. Our guide, Claire, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! We totally enjoyed our day with her. We were picked up at our hotel, which made it so easy. She brought us to Moraine Lake and led us up to the rock pile for the most spectacular views. We had 2 hrs there to hike, take pics and enjoy . Then we went to Lake Louise where she brought us to the beginning and gave us ideas and recommendations about how to spend our time. So happy we chose this tour. It was perfect!Written September 15, 2024
- heikep20180 contributionsoverall satisfiedWe had the sunrise tour with Wenzy to Lake Moraine and Louise. Unfortunately the sky was cloudy and there was no sunrise at all. But the light was amazing. Wenzy took us from the Hotel and we had a good tour. She informed us about the tour. At Lake Moraine we got blankets, lamps, coffee and information where to go for best view and hike afterwards. we went to Lake Louise, already quite busy. Same here, got good info for small hikings and met her after 2 hrs for ride back. On way back she gave us many information about lakes, history and for our travellings. I am completely satisfied about this tour. Mostly about not having searched a parking slot that would not have been available! worth to go! thank You Wenzy!Written September 9, 2024
- Aldertree70 contributionsJust stunning!Charlie was an informative guide and clearly passionate about the environment. Views were absolutely stunning. I left my backpack in the van and the company responded to my query and returned it very quickly which was imperative due to myflight home the next dayWritten September 8, 2024
- 595marlaa0 contributionsBreathtaking sightsMy friend and I took the trip with Clare as our guide. She was amazing. She had a wealth of knowledge she shared and helped us find our way around at each stop so we made the most of our sightseeing in our allowed time. The sights were breathtaking and the hikes were easy. I highly recommend this tour!Written September 8, 2024
- BeverleyM1300 contributionsA good choiceThis trip is perfect if you want to do a bit more than just take a few pictures at the lakes but you don’t want to spend the entire day hiking in one area. It is a small group tour with nice personal touches like complementary coffee and water refills. Our informative and friendly guide and driver, Wendzy picked us up from Banff at 7.30, so we got to Moraine Lake by 8.30, well ahead of a lot of the crowds. The two hour stop allowed us to climb the rock pile and have time to walk the length of the stunning lake. Our next stop was the far busier Lake Louise. Again the two hour stop gave us time to escape the crowds and walk the length of the lake. It is possible to see these places by public transport but I think it would be hard work to fit them both into one day. This trip make our day effortless and I would highly recommend the company and the destinations.Written August 29, 2024

Claire was our guide and was promptly waiting for us at 4:20 am from Canmore. I shared that I had motion sickness and she kindly honored my request to sit towards the front. I asked her for tips on must sees for the remaining next two days and appreciated her guidance and was able to fit in Grassi Lake and Peyto Lake on our own. The drive was very smooth that I fell asleep. Her tips at Moraine Lake were succinct and easy to follow and was able to see the sunrise light hit Mt. Temple and then transition over to see the sunrise light hit the tips of the mountain reflected in the lake. Appreciated the tips on going down a bit further to see unobstructed views of the lake. My sister and I also went down to the lakeshore to see folks kayaking. Such breathtaking views. My friends and I took it easy at Lake Louise and with Claire’s tips walked a tad further from the platform and found a picnic spot and enjoyed our onigiris. We also grabbed coffee from the Fairmont. There are a few hike options but we decided to just enjoy the lake with the 90 or so minutes we had from a comfortable bench. The drive back was smooth and enjoyed our conversations with Claire.

This tour will be the highlight of your vacation. Janet at the Canmore Visitors Center recommended this company as an easy, seamless way to experience Banff. Our guide Claire was friendly and professional…she was also a skilled, safe van driver. Moraine Lake at sunrise will take your breath away, and Into the Wild has thought of everything to enhance your adventure. Thanks to Janet for the recommendation, wish I could give Claire more than five stars!

Claire was a fantastic host for a snowy, cold and drizzly early morning Lake Moraine sunrise and Lake Louise tour. Unfortunately we didn't get the sunrise due to the weather but it did clear just before we left and it was gorgeous.
Got to Lake Louise just after 8.40am and decided (because we're mad) that it would be a good idea to Canoe - surprisingly only 2 other people out on the water due to the weather!
Highly recommend Into the Wild Tours; efficient, friendly, great hot chocolate! All in all fab experience and an ideal, stress-free way to see these 2 icons of the area.
Claire also took her time to provide some extra tips for hikes for the rest of our stay which was so lovely.

It 'was a really nice experience! The trip was very quiet and as soon as we arrived at Lake Moraine we were offered hot chocolate, coffee, tea blankets and headlamps. The views were wonderful and the photos do not make the beauty of the place.
Wendzy, our Guide, was really very kind, friendly and provided us with great advice for the rest of our stay. Again Thank you Wendzy!

My husband and I did the Sunrise tour with Claire and it exceeded our expectations. Claire was a wonderful guide - very safe driver and shred tidbits about the areas we visited and could see on our drive. She gave tips on how to get away from crowds and options depending on ability and timing. She gave extensive recommendations about what to do during our stay which enhanced our time in Banff. The hot beverages, pack with headlight, cushion, and blanket were nice touches, as was the chocolate treat at the end of the trip. I would highly recommend the tour and Claire as a guide.

Claire was super fun and informative! Gave us good information about the areas on the drive up and great tips on how to make the most of our time at each lake. Sunrise at Morraine was awesome, both lakes are soooo beautiful. They provided coffee for the sunrise watch which was nice. I also appreciate the small group size.
