“The van was very nice and very comfortable. The group was small (only 7 that day) so it was more personal than other tours with 30-40 people. Also, it did not waste time in taking you to shopping nor a sit-down lunch. There was in total 2 hours free time and just sufficient time to walk around and have a quick lunch.

4.From Calgary/Canmore: Banff National Park Premium Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 203 reviews · 11 hours · from $70

Spend 11 hours visiting Two Jack Lake, Lake Minnewanka, Banff, Bow Falls, Lake Louise, and, when open, Moraine Lake. Hotel pickup, a small group of up to 13, park entry, water, and an English-speaking guide are included. Guides may include Murray, Dan, Patrick, Gordon, or Sergiy.

“This tour was very comfortable and wonderful for us. While some other tours include plans to visit more locations, they often come with shorter stay times. This tour allows us to visit all the necessary spots, and we can enjoy precious moments at each location leisurely. We were able to enjoy a relaxing meal at BANFF and spend valuable time with our family at Lake Minnewanka and Lake Moraine. Murray, our guide, added a touch of humor to the experience, making the journey even more enjoyable! I highly recommend this tour!!”
