This day trip was the highlight of our stay in Banff. Roz, our guide and driver was AMAZING!! So lovely, knowledgeable and generous with her time. She stopped for us to see a bear, pointed out other wildlife and chose a beautiful location for our picnic lunch. Absolutely recommend this tour - one of the loveliest days spent in our Canadian adventure!

Our guide Kelsey made the trip interesting, informative and relaxing. Set a pace that the slowest of our group was able to maintain as well, which was much appreciated, she took turns walking with each individual as well as carrying on a conversation. She was/is an excellent guide and I would not hesitate to return for any of the tours led by her.

Great trip - but a little rushed. On the bus, off the bus, on the glacier, on the bus, off the bus, on to the skywalk...

Exhausting and a bit too 'touristy' iyswim? It is undoubtedly a stunning place to see, but too many trips all happening simultaneously?

An amazing place and the one who loves travelling must be here. The lake Louise casts a magic spells on us and the walk along the lake is amazing.

My father and I embarked on a half-day tour to Lake Louise and Lake Moraine in Banff, Alberta, and we were fortunate enough to have Neil from 'Discover Banff' as our guide. With the day offering breathtaking views and Neil's unparalleled knowledge, our expectations weren’t just met, they were exceeded.

From the start, Neil's warmth, wit, and welcoming demeanor set the tone for a memorable day. As we journeyed through the pristine landscapes of Banff, it became clear that Neil wasn't just any tour guide. His 24-year residence in the area, combined with his degree in History, turned our excursion into a rich tapestry of delightful stories, facts, and anecdotes about Banff and its surroundings.

The beauty of Lake Louise and Lake Moraine is universally acknowledged, but experiencing them through Neil's narratives brought a depth of appreciation I hadn't anticipated. My father and I hung onto every word, soaking in the tales of historic events, early explorers, and the natural evolution of these iconic landmarks.

Especially accommodating to my father's age, the half-day format of the tour was perfect, offering a comprehensive yet comfortable experience. With Neil guiding us, every moment was tailored to ensure our comfort, satisfaction, and enrichment.

In essence, 'Discover Banff' with Neil was more than just a tour; it was an unforgettable journey through time and nature, stitched together by the passionate storytelling of a true local. My father and I will treasure these memories for life. Whether you're a history buff, nature enthusiast, or simply looking to experience Banff's grandeur in a condensed format, I wholeheartedly recommend Neil and 'Discover Banff'. It's a tour not to be missed.

Me and my husband did the plain of 6 glaciers hike. Liam the guide and Emma, who was in training, were both fantastic. Liam was so knowledgeable about the area and happy to answer any questions. Both were friendly, easy to talk to, fun and looked after us checking that we were all managing the hike.

This was our first time to Banff and the Rockies., including a hike. It was one of my best experiences and I would highly recommend it and choosing Discover Banff Tours.

Lake Louise was fantastic. Moraine Lake just slightly less stunning, but that’s a relative comment after the first stop at Lake Louise. Both lakes were fairly busy but once you get away from the immediate parking lot area it gets much quieter very quickly. These are sights not to be missed, and using a commercial operator is the only way you’ll get to Moraine Lake at peak times.

We booked quite late and managed to get seats on an afternoon tour. Booking was simple. Seats were scarce, so try to book early.

Pick up was pretty straightforward behind the Mount Royal Hotel. We were in a small bus, maybe around 16-20 people. Chatty and informative Aussie driver/tour guide. Drove safely. Very clear instructions about timings, when to get back to the bus at each stop, etc. Water and cookies provided at half time!

Rosalyn was the best guide ever, she was encouraging, informative and so friendly!! The 9.4 KM hike was beautiful every step of the way and we even got a bonus hike to Marble Canyon because we did the hike in record time.

It's wonderful to hear that despite a small delay, your experience with the guide was positive. Stunning scenery at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake can certainly make up for a minor inconvenience. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope you had an incredible time exploring these beautiful places!
