Sam’s the best! - Sam was an amazing tour guide! We took a few different tours while we were here and he was our favorite! Very friendly, happy, and entertaining. We hope your knees get feeling better, and would like to say hi to your manager (mom)! :)

Amazing reviews and an excellent guide - Superb trip that took in Lake Louise and Lake Morine. Plenty of time at both, although Lake Morine offers the better views and less busy. Shout out to our driver & guide Emma. Very knowledgeable and we learnt so much about the people, nature and history of Banff and the two lakes.

Lake Louise tour with Georgia - We had Georgia as our driver and tour guide she was very knowledgeable and friendly, her commentary and knowledge made the trip very memorable. She made sure we knew where we needed to be and at what time, we came away learning a lot about the history and wildlife of the wonderful national parks in Banff. Lake Louise was absolutely amazing. Thank you Georgia 😀

Great Tour of Lake Louise and Area - This tour was THE BEST!! Our guide, Heidi, told us super interesting info about the whole area the entire way to Lake Louise. The area was spectacular; I would highly recommend seeing it. Heidi was very knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. And, talk about service after the sale! Two hours after our tour ended, Heidi called to say she found my daughter's sunglasses. She offered to bring them to our condo, 25 miles away! If you are going to Lake Louise, let Discover Banff take you.☺️Also, it's a good tour for families with young kids. It's very accessible. The walk around the lake is easy

A Tour to Remember – Thanks to Jake, the “Most Handsome” Guide! - If you’re lucky enough to end up on a tour with Jake, you’re in for a treat — and not just because he proudly declares himself the “most handsome tour guide in the company” (a claim he repeats often and with a wink). Jake brought our entire experience to life with his energy, humor, and genuinely impressive knowledge. He managed to strike the perfect balance between informative and entertaining, sprinkling fascinating facts with just the right amount of cheeky charm. His stories were vivid, his timing impeccable, and yes — his confidence? Unshakable. While the sights were stunning on their own, it was Jake’s larger-than-life personality that made the day unforgettable. Whether or not he is the most handsome is still up for debate… but he’s definitely one of the best guides we’ve ever had and very passionate about the area. Highly recommend booking with this company – and if you get Jake, just tell him his reputation precedes him. He’ll love that!
