Itinerary
Lake Louise offers stunning activities year-round. In summer, enjoy canoeing, hiking to teahouses. In winter, go ice skating, skiing, or take sleigh rides across the frozen lake. Year-round, relax at the Fairmont Chateau, explore nearby Moraine Lake, and spot local wildlife. It’s perfect for both adventure and relaxation.
Discover Moraine Lake, one of the most stunning destinations in the Canadian Rockies. Nestled in the Valley of the Ten Peaks, this glacier-fed lake dazzles with its deep turquoise color, created by glacial rock flour. The breathtaking mountain backdrop makes it a perfect spot for photos and peaceful reflection. (Accessible from June 1 to mid-October.)
Witness the awe-inspiring Natural Bridge, a powerful example of nature’s artistry. Over centuries, the Kicking Horse River has carved its way through solid rock to form this dramatic natural wonder.
You can enjoy canoeing on the vibrant turquoise waters, hiking the easy 5.2 km Emerald Lake Loop, or exploring more challenging trails like the route to Emerald Basin. The lake is perfect for photography, especially during sunrise and sunset. In winter, the area transforms into a peaceful snowy landscape ideal for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

It was a smooth trip from pick-up in Calgary till our guide/driver Mr.G dropped us back to the same spot. Mr.G is very respectful, polite and kept on checking on us during the tour. This tour package is best for those who have short trips to Banff and wants a hassle free experience tours from Calgary Downtown.
Gary made my Banff trip an absolutely amazing experience! He was incredibly patient, always on time, and communicated clearly throughout the tour. Everything was well organized and stress-free. I honestly wish I had booked all of my tours with Gary. Highly recommended!
It was great experience, small group, great tour guide. Water provided in the van. Mr G was very detailed about the history of all places.
It was a very memorable one. We are happy with our driver. He offered to take pictures of us. He is very well recommended.
Incomplete Itinerary. Put me in a wrong tour. 1. The phone number was unreliable 2. Put me in a wrong tourists transportation. 3. No Jonhston Lake 4. Delayed departure at the pick up area 5. The person who answered my call told me he will not let me in the provided transporation due to my behavior. What kind of behavior did he expect me when he was unreliable and answered me like he just woke up. Do not answer my calls properly and dropped off the call after. 6. Driver said, the johnston lake was not part of the tour and said, it was the same like two jack lake. Lol. 7. No proper tour planning. Messy. No proper itinerary. 8. Tight tour. Again. Did not include johnston lake. 9. They added me to another list. Showed my name on whatsapp not on the lists. Lol. I was not born yesterday, you messed up my tour and mixed me up with another tour to cover up your mistake. 10. Irritating part was, you made me look like i was lying when i made a review on getyourguide telling you did not include johnston lake??. You said you arrived on time and you have johnston lake? Wow.
Amazing tour; amazing, accommodating, friendly and patient tour guide. The lakes were simply beautiful and he was very informed
One of the best tours we’ve been on! The pace was perfect, and never felt rushed. The guys was knowledgeable, personable, and very accommodating… He was also a great driver.
I was going alone as my husband was working. I am so glad I did as the tour was so worth the money. We were a small group of nine and we saw so much! The scenery is gorgeous and you have to see it!! It was the perfect way to sight see!
The tour guide is very helpful with people who needs help and did a detailed explanation of the tour spots.
had an excellent experience with Banff Trip Planner Inc. The company is very well-organized, reliable, and truly focused on customer satisfaction. From planning to execution, everything was smooth and professional. The team is knowledgeable about Banff and surrounding areas, making the trip both enjoyable and memorable. I highly recommend Banff Trip Planner Inc. to anyone looking for a stress-free and well-coordinated travel experience.”
Banff Trip Planner Inc. exceeded all my expectations! The team was professional, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. Every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned — from comfortable transportation to breathtaking viewpoints and hidden gems you wouldn’t find on your own. I especially appreciated how flexible and accommodating they were, making sure everyone in our group had a great time. It truly felt like a personalized experience rather than a cookie-cutter tour. I came away with amazing memories and beautiful photos, and I’m already looking forward to booking with them again.
The driver came exactly on time. The vehicle was spacious and had optimal number of passengers so all of us could sit and enjoy the drive comfortably. Even though weather was not very good (it kept raining all the time) still we enjoyed the journey. Driver Daler Sandhu was quite professional and gave us very good and helpful instructions at every spot we visited. Overall it was a great day trip that covered 5 beautiful lakes and since we had time left we also covered a bonus extra place (Nature Bridge). Even though roads were wet and visibility was poor, we felt very safe as the driver drove the vehicle very well. As we did not have to worry about Parking or tickets we could spend all of our time absorbing nature’s beauty.
This Top 5 Lakes Tour surprise was amazing. Our tour guide , Indur , is such a professional guide, knowledgeable, helpful , always on time and we don't feel rushed at all in every sites we have visited. This is highly recommended. Thanks so much Indur and keep it up!
