Lake Louise is a stunning alpine lake located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada. Known for its turquoise waters and breathtaking mountain backdrop, it is a must-visit destination. Although parking can be limited, as a guide, I can drop off and pick up guests to maximize their time there. In 60 minutes, visitors can take in the awe-inspiring beauty, walk along the lakeshore, and capture memorable photos. They can also explore the nearby Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, rent a canoe, or embark on a short hike to further immerse themselves in the natural splendor of this iconic location.
From June to mid-October. Admire Moraine Lake’s brilliant turquoise waters and towering mountain backdrop, with time to explore the lakeshore and capture unforgettable photos. This tour stop is available seasonally, typically from June to mid-October, weather permitting.
Located in Banff National Park, Alberta, is renowned for its stunning waterfalls and dramatic limestone cliffs. We will go up to Lower falls only. The easy-to-moderate trail follows Johnston Creek, featuring catwalks and bridges that provide breathtaking views of Falls. This popular hiking destination, known for its picturesque natural setting and opportunities for wildlife observation, can be quite crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Starting 13 Oct, Emerald Lake, located in Yoho National Park, Canada, enchants visitors with its striking emerald-green waters, reflecting the surrounding mountains and forests. The serene ambiance, coupled with the picturesque setting, makes it a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike. Discover the tranquility and beauty of Emerald Lake in the heart of the Rockies.
Starting 13 Oct, Natural Bridge in Yoho National Park is a unique and fascinating natural formation. The bridge is formed by the erosion of the limestone rock by the rushing waters of the Kicking Horse River behind what was once a more standard waterfall. Over time, the constant flow of water over thousands of years wore away at the rock, creating a hole in the limestone behind the falls. As the hole grew larger, the river began to flow through it, creating the tunnel that we see today. The result is a beautiful and unique natural structure that is truly one of a kind, and is a must-see when visiting Yoho National Park.
Enjoy a scenic stop at Banff’s largest lake, surrounded by stunning mountain views and crystal-clear waters. Take in the panoramic scenery, capture beautiful photos, and learn about the lake’s fascinating history from your guide. Depending on the season and conditions, you may also have time for a short walk along the shoreline.
Enjoy a peaceful scenic stop with beautiful views of the turquoise-blue lake and surrounding Rocky Mountains. Take some time to relax, enjoy the scenery, and capture stunning photos of this picturesque Banff location.
Seasonal Access from June to October. Stop at this scenic viewpoint to see the historic Spiral Tunnels and learn how trains navigate through the Rocky Mountains. Enjoy sweeping mountain views and, with good timing, watch Canadian Pacific trains pass through the tunnels below.
Stop at this iconic viewpoint along the Bow Valley Parkway, known for its beautiful mountain scenery and the chance to spot Canadian Pacific trains winding through the valley. It’s a quick but memorable photo stop with spectacular Rocky Mountain views.
Enjoy a scenic drive along this beautiful mountain route, surrounded by forests, rugged peaks, and stunning valley views. Keep an eye out for local wildlife (not guaranteed), including elk, deer, and bears, while taking in the natural beauty of Banff National Park.
We had an extraordinary time. Banff is absolutely beautiful and all the sights we saw were amazing. Our travel guide, Vani was absolutely awesome. She shared her knowledge, which added so much value and she was also just fun to hangout with and spend the day with. This was a 10 out of 10!! We can’t wait to go back!
The tour was fantastic, and gave me an excellent set of ideas for places I wanted to go back to later in the week. Anchit was fabulous as a guide, and enjoyable to talk to
Absolutely fantastic day, Anchit was a great guide and very knowledgeable, and a big thank you, for helping me put my snow spikes on! Group was small which made it more personal, and day was well structured with lots of stops and amazing places to see. 10/10 all round.
This tour was a great experience. My sister and I went together, and loved that it was a small group. Also, our tour guide Anchit was phenomenal — very knowledgeable about history and shared so many cool facts, offered to take pictures of us at each stop, and made it such a fun day!
It was a very long day, but absolutely worth it\! Anchit was a fantastic guide\! He did a great job keeping us on schedule while still giving us the flexibility to slow down and really enjoy the places we wanted to spend more time exploring\. Every stop had something special to offer\! Emerald Lake was my husband’s favorite, while I especially loved the Natural Bridge\. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and we got to experience so many beautiful places in one day\. Such a memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend this tour!
Anchit was a great guide. The views were spectacular. We enjoyed the short hikes we did. Anchit shared history, stories, and facts for al of the places we went. We had fun spending the day with him and were impressed with his knowledge of the area.
An excellent experience, from start to finish, Anchit is an excellent guide, full of local knowledge, chat and hospitality. Highly recommend for value for money and the number of sights visited with a no rush atmosphere, bus is very comfortable with 10 passengers on our tour. We were in Banff for only 3 days so it was an relaxed way to see the local landmarks using this service. Thank you again Anchit. The Gilbride family from Ireland 🇮🇪.
Our guide was wonderful probably a must do !
This trip was absolutely worth every cent. Pick up was on schedule, Tushar was a great driver and guide. I would rebook this tour when I return to Banff, in hopes of seeing some of the locations that are closed in shoulder season or simply to go back because it’s such a beautiful place. The tour itself did not feel rushed which I appreciated. Tushar was knowledgeable and kept the group engaged. Also an excellent photographer.
Tushar was incredibly knowledgeable of all of the history in each spot that we visited. He was incredibly punctual and made sure to communicate timing. He was very helpful at each stop. The views were immaculate and definitely feel the value was there. A must book!!
This tour is worth your money and your time. You get to explore the Canadian rockies all in one day! From Yoho, Icefields Parkway and Banff- you get to see everything in one day! Definitely worth booking!
It was a good way to see the area in the short amount of time we had in Banff. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.
Anchit was beyond fabulous. He shared his knowledge and experiences and was ready to lend a hand. My wife and I have mobility issues, but Anchit made sure that we made it in and out of the van safely and advised us about which paths would be easier for us to take. He was professional, respectful, and extremely friendly. We loved being surrounded by the natural beauty of the Banff area.
It was an amazing tour. We saw and did it all. Sightseeing, wildlife and a little hiking. Anchit was very personable, knowledgeable and overall an excellent guide. We truly appreciate everything he did for us. This tour is a must do. Enjoy!!!
Great experience. Real value for money. Our guide Anchit was extreamly helpful and explained everything and let everyone have there time at each spot
Tushar Grest work - extra points for helping the ladies down the ice path safely even though they weren’t with our tour. I think everyone was waiting for you to jump into Two Jack Lake at the end!
We had the best time exploring Banff with Tushar and the rest of the group! He told stories, gave history and made good recommendations for things in the area. He was a fantastic host! We enjoyed this trip and definitely recommend!
Had an amazing time on this tour! Liam was a great guide and incredibly knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend.
We took this tour in late August with Reuben as our driver and guide, and he did an amazing job! He was incredibly kind, laid-back, and a very safe driver. He planned the day perfectly, getting us to Bow Falls before the first tourist bus even arrived! We also visited Johnston Canyon, Bow Lake, Peyto Lake, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, and more. Reuben knew all the best hidden spots to avoid the crowds and took amazing photos of me and my family. The tour was well-paced and gave us a great introduction to Banff, especially for anyone wanting to return and explore these beautiful places on their own. We loved Lake Louise so much that we came back the following day to go canoeing! Our time at Lake Louise was slightly shortened because we had to pick up a small private tour group that was unable to access Moraine Lake, but that was just a minor hiccup in an otherwise amazing day. And the views from the Rockpile viewpoint at Moraine Lake were absolutely breathtaking! Overall, a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend Reuben!
Our guide was very professional and informative! We very much enjoyed our trip.
It was a great tour! The van was very comfortable and we saw a lot of beautiful scenery. Our guide, Rahul, was friendly, entertaining, and very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Rahul was our guide and he was fantastic! He was kind, funny, knowledgeable, prompt, and always willing to snap a photo for us! We really enjoyed spending our day with him! Although we visited during the shoulder season and were therefore unable to visit Moraine Lake and Johnston Canyon, the stops that were added were very beautiful and enjoyable! We highly recommend this tour company. It was a great day!
Excellent tour showing us all major sites. Very beautiful. Anchit was a great tour guide. Would recommend.
Rahul was a lovely guide! Right amount of information. Also a very decisive and efficient driver which was great for navigating.
Absolutely amazing experience. Rauol was our driving and guide, and treated us and our needs with amazing tenderness and professionalism. He provided valuable commentary and local flavor as we drove to each of our stops. Even his recommendation of the Indian restaurant for lunch proved to be delicious and much faster than any other option.
Liam was a delight! He is very knowledgeable about the region and freely shared about his own off duty experiences in the park and beyond. I hope others have a chance to spend a day with him in Banff.
We had a fantastic day! Liam is very knowledgeable and was so considerate the entire day! He told us lots of stories and showed us things that we had never seen before. The beauty here is truly awesome! We are so glad we went on this tour! One note, people with mobility issues might find it strenuous.
Liam was our tour guide and we were extremely satisfied with his high energy, expertise, personal touches, and attention to detail. He was prompt and we never felt hurried at any of the stops. He has such an appreciation for the Rockies and he was just a joy to be around. He made it a truly memorable and spectacular day! Thank you, Liam. You are a treasure.
Our tour guide, Jack, was fantastic! Very personable and knowledgeable about the landmarks, etc. Our weather and the size of our tour was perfect. Appreciated being able to drive in and have "special" tour bus parking arrangements. Every place we stopped was amazing! The restaurant options at the lunch stop had long lines, but we had enough time to finish eating after standing in line. The tour guide has and offers bottled water, but take snacks with you if you think you will need them.
Our tour guide, Liam, was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to take time ensuring all were comfortable and having a good time. Since it was our first time in the area, booking this tour was a bit intimidating. I would not have changed a single thing, this tour has everything you'd want in this trip. The time management is perfect & all the views on the list are absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend.
Liam was our guide and he was wonderful! He was knowledgeable, knew the areas like the back of his hand, entertaining, and always kept us all engaged! I would highly recommend the tour, company, and our tour guide!
We had an excellent experience with our tour guide, Rahul! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, humble, and humorous, which made our trip even more enjoyable. Throughout the tour, he generously shared helpful tips, advice, and interesting information that made our experience smooth and memorable. One of the highlights was that Rahul took so many beautiful pictures of my husband and me. He went above and beyond to help us capture wonderful memories of our trip, which we truly appreciated. His thoughtfulness, patience, and positive attitude made us feel comfortable and happy throughout the journey. We are so grateful to have had Rahul as our tour guide. He made our trip more meaningful, enjoyable, and memorable. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding tour guide. Thank you, Rahul, for making our trip so special! - YO
Liam was energetic, fun, knowledgeable, accommodating & an overall great guide for this full day adventure. Despite rain most of the day, he made sure to get our group to some awesome spots, take all of our photos, help us in the rain, & give lots of great recs. Pickup and drop-off right from our hotel in Banff was an added plus. We would definitely recommend this tour, guide, & company to anyone. Thanks again!
Outstanding tour and guide! Liam (guide) was enthusiastic and passionate about the incredible locations we visited. He shared detailed information about the locations and ensured that we had the photo opportunities that we wanted, often taking us to spots that were away from crowds of people. The amazing views from the top of the rock pile at Lake Moraine and the waterfalls at Johnston Canyon are beyond words!
Liam was a fantastic tour guide! Just like Banff’s unpredictable weather—rain or shine—Liam made every moment so much fun. He’s personable, easygoing, and genuinely chill, exactly the kind of energy you want on vacation! He went above and beyond by taking our pictures, offering us water and umbrellas, and sharing not just the beauty of Banff but also a little glimpse into life there. His positive outlook on life and great sense of humor brought us so many laughs and made the experience even more memorable. Thank you so much, Liam, for such an amazing time and for sharing your good vibes with us! Please share your Instagram so we can follow along on your wild adventures! We’re rooting for you! Keep being you and spreading those positive vibes wherever life takes you! With love, The Bilellos, NYC
Liam made this trip so much fun and he knew anything and everything about banff. We can tell how passionate he is and is very educated. He made it easier to communicate no problem at all. He took us to amazing places and did not disappoint
We absolutely loved this tour for a few specific reasons. 1) size - 12 people max made for a nice small group as opposed to those huge bus loads of people getting off to visit a site 2) vehicle - the bus looked brand new. Clean, leather seats and USB plugs 3) Driver/Guide - Ankit was an excellent driver. We felt safe at all times. As a guide, he was kind, funny, offered great insights into what we were seeing and gave smart tips on bathroom usage & how to spend our time at each stop. 4) Route/Timing - we arrived at Johnston Canyon before any busses arrived. We didn’t have to wait in line at all, even at the cave. It was a great experience from start to finish.
Our guide Rahul did an excellent job! He made everything about our tour perfect from the comfortable ride to the insider information on where and what to do and see.
Excellent value for your money and Rahul was very informative, timely and accommodating. He had great tips!
Our family group of three were looking for a tour that squeezed in as much sightseeing in Banff in a single day. Liam was a wonderful tour guide that kept us engaged throughout the all-day multi-stop stop tour. I would highly recommend him and hope to do another tour with him in the future.
Tashar was extremely knowledgeable. He was very encouraging and helpful. Wonderful experience because of him.
What an excellent day exploring the amazing locations in and around Banff. Liam was an exceptional guide, incredibly knowledgeable and so much fun! He would take our photos at every stop and obviously enjoys his job very much. Even though it was a rainy day, he made the day full with lots of laughs and high energy.
I am so happy to travel with Liam! He is friendly, considerate, and humorous! Exploring beautiful Rockies together is even more enjoyable with him. It’s not just the scenery I’ll remember, but also the laughter and conversations along the way. So grateful to share this adventure with him!
I booked 2 experiences with Vista Chase. Both of the tours were exceptional service guided by great Guides. I was in banff with my wife, having not worry about parking and getting to places, buying park passes. It was worth every penny. Thank you again Vista Chase.
We joined the 8 Iconic Stops shared tour with Vista Chase on another day of our trip and had a great time. There were 10 of us in a nice Sprinter van with plenty of legroom, which made the journey very comfortable. Anchit was our guide, and we had lots of fun exploring Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Bow Lake, and Peyto Lake. Each stop offered something different, and it was wonderful to experience so many beautiful places in one day. A memorable outing with a great group. we’d happily recommend this tour!
Well planed tour, our driver knew his stuff. Friendly, knowledgeable and took great pictures of us. We missed a lot of traffic and busy groups by reversing the order of our itinerary. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and highly recommended this tour.
Liam was awesome! Loves his work and very enthusiastic and knowledgeable 🙏 Thank you so much for a 5 Star ⭐✨ service!!!
Jack was our guide. He was professional and friendly. He informed us of directions and suggestions at each stop. The stops were breathtakingly beautiful! Highly recommend this tour and Jack.
What an amazing tour! You can tell Liam loves what he does! Awesome guide, informative and the best spots to capture the moments! Book with a professional! It’s worth it !
This tour was the perfect way to see all the sites. Tushar was great! He not only shared a lot of info but took great pics and was patient as we looked around.
