⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Incredible Rockies Experience with Patrick! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Incredible Rockies Experience with Patrick!
This Rockies journey was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, our tour guide Patrick was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip so much more engaging.
We passed by the breathtaking Castle Mountain and Cascade Mountain, each looking like they belonged in a postcard. The reflections at Vermilion Lakes were stunning, with Mount Rundle standing tall in the background.
We spent an hour each at Lake Louise and Moraine Lake, and they were even more beautiful in person — vivid turquoise waters, glaciers in the backdrop, and views I’ll remember forever. Strolling along Banff Avenue for shopping and exploring was such a nice touch, and Lake Minnewanka was peaceful and picture-perfect.
We even got an extra stop at Surprise Corner, which had an incredible view of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel — definitely a hidden gem!
Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Patrick as your guide. Well-organized, breathtaking locations, and memories to last a lifetime.

Great tour! Great guide! - Ray was a calm, knowledgable guide who gave the best advice throughout the entire day by suggesting the shortest bathroom queues, best time to line up for photographs of popular places. After looking at many other tour experiences, I found that Ray’s tours provided the best itinerary. We got a lot covered and seen in one day with a good amount of time given for each stop off. We booked last minute and so glad we did. We got some of the most stunning photos ever! I would highly recommend this tour. The entire day was faultless and highly enjoyable.
