Visit Lake Louise and Moraine Lake from Banff on a guided half-day tour with scenic stops, local stories, transport, and photo time.

“This was a good short tour. I traveled with a group who don’t like tour busses. This was a great alternative because it is only 4.5 hours long. Also you got off the bus several times. Other than we got a cold and rainy day, it was interesting information and we were able to see both lake Louise and Moraine. Moraine wouldn’t have been available by private car and we all thought it Was the prettier spot. Happy with tour and happy with Tim our driver.”
