Highlight of the trip overall. Easy recommend. - This trip was absolutely the highlight of our time in Banff. As first time visitors, we really appreciated having someone with as much knowledge and experience in the area, as our guide Pablo. He was sociable and easy going, with ability to talk about a wide range of topics. He was doing this all while driving very comfortably on the road. It was really nice to take a break from driving and be able to kick back and take everything in fully. The lakes were stunning beyond expectations. 1 hour was enough time at each lake to complete an easy walk/hike with an epic viewpoint and photo opportunities galore. Being able to learn some of the history and details about the ecosystem that we were immersed in was really memorable. I will look back fondly on this visit.

Beautiful views, great lakes! - The guide was great and showed us the sites. It's a bit of a drive so I would plan this as a now relaxing part of your trip. We did see some elk and a black bear though! Once you get to each lake you have about an hour to explore which is just enough time to take some pictures of the scenery from great viewpoints. The ride back was chill but the best part was meeting a new travel friend! Definitely recommend!

Gorgeous sunsets - The sunsets are something else at Morraine Lake! Went a couple days ago with friends and the views are incredible. We also saw a bear on the drive through Bow Valley Parkway as a plus. Pretty cool.
