Affordable Banff Lake Tour

Lisa is an awesome guide. She made sure that we are always on time. This is a nice tour if you are interested in only visiting the lakes without worrying about the parking. Moraine Lake parking is very small and is usually always full. The time for Gondolla ride seemed a little short so I didn't opt for it.

Each lake was breathtaking. We didn’t know we had to hike for 10 minutes at Morraine Lake, however the view at the top was worth it. The time at Morraine Lake and Emerald lake felt rushed. Would of preferred mote time at Morraine and Emerald Lake. The tour guide didn’t even offer to help families take pictures.

The tour operator (although booked through visitor.com was another company West Star travels) gave a pick up time in Banff only to find out that that was their departure time from Calgary. So our group of 16 had to wait around. Furthermore the bus had technical issues and had to be replaced with another - which meant we left on at 11:30am for a tour that was supposed to start at 8:30am. The tour guide although knowledgeable, had a thick accent which made it very hard for us to understand him. It diminished the experience because a lot of time was spent on the bus commuting from one location to another.
Response from Host , Aug 2022
Hello Savio,
Thank you for your feedback.
We have three pickup locations, two in Calgary and one in Banff, that can be found in the Meeting & pickup section. Unfortunately, we had a delay due to a flat tire on the way to Banff, and we needed to find a different bus. We thank you for your patience and understanding.
Regarding the language issue, we will review the tour guide’s performance. Please be assured that our guests' experience is our top priority; we strive to provide the best service to every guest.
Should you have more details, don't hesitate to contact us by emailing customercare@westartravel.ca. Thanks again for taking the time to share your comment

We really enjoyed this trip. The lakes were beautiful and everything was so organized. Our one suggestion would be to have more time at the lakes. Lunch was 90 minutes at a place with no lake which was a bit of a bummer. Then we had only 20 minutes at Emerald Lake which was so short! Other than that, Yen and Robert were amazing! This trip is definitely worth the cost.
Good trip and high amount of driving with pretty views.

Lisa was a good type guide. She was knowledgeable and gave clear instructions for when to meet back at the bus. The bus driver Joe leant is his charger for half the trip, so he was awesome! The one thing I'll say is it's a lot of driving and you are pressured to tip the $10 if you don't have cash. We had to wait 10-15 for someone to find an atm because they didn't have cash.

The tour itself was awesome. The tour guide was bilingual (English/Chinese) and the bus driver was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Not sure why, but it's actually cheaper to book through Westar, which is the actual tour company. We did not know until we were on the bus, but could have saved $45 a person instead of using Viator as the middle man.

The best way to see the lakes
Suzanne_Y
, Jul 2022
The only way to go so that you don’t face no parking availability. We were able to see 3 gorgeous lakes without the hassle of finding parking. Believe me in July there is no parking after about 11:00 am and they close the road to the parking lots (we tried the next day and couldn’t get in).
The best in the worst.

This was my second visit since 2012, but the first time joining the tour.
I read the review and some mix of good and bad but I gave it a try.. and it became one of the most memorable and fun days of my life.
When we arrived at second spot at Moraine Lake, our bus hit the stone and broke down. While our tour guide Lisa was doing the best she could to find an alternative transportation, we were stuck for over 4hours in the beautiful Moraine Lake.
Yes, we were told to come back every hour but no bus… so we just spent time walking around taking picture.
Over 4 hours later there’s a bus rescuing us to finish up our itinerary, which was visiting Emerald Lake besides gondola and ski area.
It was unreal to experience such an incident but the best part was I met and became a really good friend and spent good time together. Also our tour guide Lisa was really great and sincere to keep all tour guests and finish our tour.
Yes, it was so bad that our bus broke and has no idea when we could leave but I cannot say it was great lesson to learn you can always find the way, have fun even in the worst situation.
I could not complain being stuck in beautiful place and in the end we were able to visit and see all those lakes in Banff.
Great job to our bilingual guide, Lisa.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Hello Kiyomi,
Thank you for your review. We’re very sorry about the broken bus, and wholeheartedly appreciate your patience with us while we sorted things out. We are glad to hear that you were able to make some new friends, and had fun nonetheless.
We hope to see you back, visiting the Rockies for a third time.
Enjoy Beautiful Lakes in Banff

All the lake sceneries were spectacular. Time allowed for Gondola and lunch was too short causing rushing up and down the gondola and not enjoying the view. Tour bus was late in pick-up. There was confusion and guest list was incomplete. A tour operator was actually rude denying boarding. Other than that, the itinerary was good.

Nice stops, uninformative tour guide and mandatory $10 per person tips
Naren_G
, Jul 2022
The actual stops were great and the tour bus very comfortable but the tour guide was very uninformative and difficult to understand (language barrier partially) ie said "this is one mountain name I know, Michael, because it's my name". Also joked about helping passengers "so I can get tips". At end he walked through the aisle of the bus to collect $10 cash per passenger for "required tips because company policy" including for kids. There were about 40 passengers.

We will follow up with this tour guide about his tour knowledge. Gratuity for the driver/guide is much appreciated but not mandatory. We greatly encourage guests to tip them for their service.

The lakes are absolutely...
Denise_G

The lakes are absolutely breathtaking, but don't go for this tour. Our tour guide barely had any information for us, we couldn't really understand what he was saying, couldn't find him most of the time, was extremely rushed and also got our included lunch wrong. Definitely go see the lakes, but go on your own and bring a pamphlet or just Google it - you'll get way more out of it that way.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
