My husband and I visited Banff in September 2023 for the first time. In planning our trip, we knew we needed to maximize the 4-day stay to see as much as we could... enter Hop On Banff! Lake Louise and Moraine Lake were at the top of our list for attractions to experience, and we didn't want to worry about driving/parking. On our tour day, we were picked up outside of our Moose Hotel in Banff at 7:45am in a yellow school bus (so fun and nostalgic) and were ready to visit Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Lake Louise Gondola (in that order). Our tour guides for that day were Dominique and James- they were so kind, informative, and fun. They each went out of their way to review our chosen itinerary with every person/group on the bus, answered questions, and offered advice. They both also provided excellent tips for the remainder of our stay in Banff, including restaurant recommendations and other must-see visits. Additionally, we also made friends with some of the other tourist on the bus! We had an incredible day exploring each stop and felt that we had adequate time for what we wanted to see. After a fun-filled day, we returned to Banff at 6pm, exhausted and with full hearts. It was truly a great experience and I'd highly recommend Hop On Banff!

We did this trip as part of our honeymoon and it was fantastic! They give you enough time and each spot without feeling rushed or like you have to wait around for the next bus to pick up. The tour guides were wonderful! They were very nice and informative about the park. Would recommend to anyone.

A brilliant tour! The whole team was so helpful, and made it a fantastic experience. The information they gave us on the journey about the lakes and the areas around was interesting and it was very clear when and where we needed to be for each bus. They helped us all individually to plan out our day according to our interests and the weather. We went to Lake Louise gondola, Lake Louise and Moraine lake - all absolutely stunning! Highly recommend this trip

Domonique gave us a great introduction to Banff and what to expect at each stop. Based on individual discussions, she helped us plan all of our excursions. We finished our trip with James as our tour director. He made multiple suggestions on what to look for during our remaining days in Banff and Jasper National Parks. A wonderful experience and informative introduction to the parks. Outstanding!
