Mountains, Lakes & Waterfalls - 8th Sept

The Mountains, Lakes & Waterfalls trip was a full on day, lots of stops and so much to see - but such a worthwhile trip! We went on Tuesday, 8th Sept, our Driver was Richard and guide was Eleanor. Both Richard and Eleanor were full of expert knowledge on the local area, pointing out the most famous mountains and their history. We visited three lakes in total, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine and Emerald Lake. All very different and unique in their own right. The waterfalls were amazing, we visited a couple which again were so different, one with great height which was a perfect backdrop for a selfie!, the other was on a much smaller scale. We stopped for a nice buffet lunch at Emerald Lake which was included, and delicious it was! Another really great day out, thanks again Brewster Sightseeing Tours for making it fun, we learnt lots also.

A must-do trip!

The highlight of our entire trip to the Rockies! We had such an amazing time on this tour - breathtaking views of some Canada’s best lakes and mountains. Our guide Nolan and driver Carson made our experience even better with their impressive knowledge of each location and super friendly service. They were funny and shared some great stories and anecdotes. We saw 3 bears and a deer on this tour too which was amazing. We would have loved to have a little more time at Lake Louise but you get to fit so much in in one day. We would 100% recommend this tour as an easy way to see Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Emerald Lake and Takakkaw Falls! No matter how long your stay in Banff is, this is a must!

A must do option

This is an absolute must do, no worries about Parking, you get loads of information and jokes. You get to see Morraine, Emerald and Louise Lakes. The Takakkaw Falls are a must and the Buffet lunch provided at Emerald lake was delicious. So much to see and do. Great thanks to Nolan and our brilliant coach driver.

An enjoyable and fully recommended tour.

We all had a great day on the tour with Emily and Ben. The scenery was as spectacular as expected. The icing on the cake was the excellent meal we had at Emerald Lake, Emily's help and guidance and Ben's wonderfully listenable descriptions and storytelling. Definitely recommended!

A Packed Day Out!

We did this trip and then immediately transferred on to Calgary with Brewsters. Pick up from hotel in Banff and drop off at hotel in Calgary. Driver and host were excellent - very informative and entertaining. We crammed a lot of great sights into the day - Lake Louise, Lake Moraine and Lake Emerald - where we had a delicious hot buffet lunch included. We also visited the Natural bridge, the Spiral Tunnels (where we waited to see a train go through) and the Takakkaw falls (which are accessed from a road with a switchback and the bus had to reverse up one section!). Given we had a lot of stops we had enough time at each location. Very enjoyable trip. This was our second trip with Brewsters and we found them to be very professional and well organised. Highly recommend this company and tours.
