Mountain Lakes and Waterfalls - roundtrip from Banff

Posted By : taylorcC4702RG
Tour was amazing! Georgia and Nate were our host and they were great, knew so much about everything , pat was with us too who gave us more knowledge about a lot. Had tea and coffee with a snack and a hot buffet lunch which was great. Since I was solo travelling they offered to take pictures for me and made me feel included with everything

What a fantastic tour! I just wanted to take a moment to sing the praises of our tour guide/bus driver. It was my privilege to take the Mountain Lakes & Waterfalls tour led by Rob. I felt like I was in a living documentary about the Canadian Rockies. I asked him if he had ever been a teacher because he was such a font of knowledge. He laughed and told me that he wasn’t a particularly good student and that’s why he’s a bus driver today. Well, as a retired educator, let me tell you he couldn’t be more wrong because what Rob did on this tour was lead a Master’s level course in the Geology, Biology, History, and Ecology of western Canada. So, kudos to Rob for making this trip the most educational day of my entire vacation. The lakes were beautiful and getting to see Morant's Curve and the Spiral Tunnels was incredible, thanks to our host's commentary on them. The only downside was the buffet lunch at Emerald Lake. After the spread at the Ice Fields the day before, the selection here was very limited.

Pick up from Banff for a full day tour. We travelled through the Rocky Mountain National Parks & visited Lake Louise, Moraine Lake & the Emerald Lake where we stopped for a buffet lunch. Lunch was a little uninspiring with little choice. We ended our tour with a visit to Takakkaw Falls. It's a long day but we'll worth it. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I did the Lakes, Mountains and Waterfalls tour from Banff. We were collected from our hotel on time and after a couple of other stops we were on our way. Our driver was Habib and guide, Angie. The coach as comfortable and the commentary was excellent. We saw amazing views, including Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake (lunch included) and Takkakaw Falls. Our only negative comment would be that we didn’t have enough time at Lake Louise (20mins) and Moraine Lake (30mins). We barely had time to head to the restroom and take a few quick snaps of the lake before we had to leave Lake Louise which was a disappointment. I would have preferred not to stop at the Spiral Tunnels and Natural Bridge to allow for more time at the major sights. However, it was a lovely day out and nicely rounded off with a hot drink and a cookie at Takkakaw Falls. Brewster is a very professional and knowledgeable tour company so I would definitely use them again in the future.

Fantastic views and a good amount of time at each of the stops. Best way to get out and see the amazing Rockies from Banff if you don't have a car! Our guide Roland was entertaining, informative, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I am a travel agent and will always recommend this tour to others. Thank you for the fantastic trip!

Dustin was our bus driver and Krisha our guide. Dustin was excited that there wasn’t a cloud in the sky and it was as clear as could be (no wildlife smoke). I overheard him discussing with Krisha switching the order of things up to take advantage of the weather. It led to a perfect day. The pictures and memories I have from Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Emerald Lake, and Takkakaw Falls will always be special. The entertaining highlight of this tour is Dustin skillfully backing the bus up the steep switchback road going to Takkakaw Falls!

My husband and I loved this tour,So much to see and a informative host.The only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 was the disappointment at spending so little time at Moraine Lake which was ours and others we spoke to on the coach favourite lake.We only spent 30 minutes.I wished we could have spent less time at Lake Louise and Lake Emerald.Also,the food at Lake Emerald was disappointing,limited choice compared to the choices we had the following day on the Icefields Parkway tour.

Breathtaking trip, absolutely incredible natural beauty. Staff were great too. Bob was a wealth of knowledge and a very reassuring driver, even on the narrow switchbacks. Mike was lovely to talk to and helped us take many photos. Would highly recommend

What a fab day from start to finish. Katie our driver and tour guide and her companion (sorry I can’t remember her name) made sure we all had a truly memorable day. I would highly recommend this tour company and any of their tours, and if you have Katie as your driver then you will be in safe hands , we found her driving skills amazing, especially when she had to reverse up a section of the windy mountain road to the waterfall and again on our return trip down. Katie also has a great sense of humour and made everyone laugh with her stories and jokes. Both ladies were on hand if you needed anything and made sure the trip went without any hitches. Thanks again for a great day despite the weather
