    Well organized and appears to be fairly new. We took the gondola up and had lunch at the buffet. Hike up to the top of the hill was about 1 I’m and enjoyable. Might be nice for them to consider shoveling the snow, as it was pretty slippery.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Murray as our guide. Prior to the trip we were informed on what to wear what to bring where to meet and what time. An itinerary was also given to us to know what to expect. Murray was very informative and entertaining, and it was nice to sit back and relax and enjoy the scenery. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting to visit the Banff National Park.

    Most likely one of the most beautiful places I had the opportunity to visit in my life. There is no downside and every day a new adventure with amazing views surprised me. If I had to choose a top place it would be Lake Moraine/Lake Louise. Importantly I would recommend to arrange transportation since parking in summer time is almost impossible there.

    Naveen was an excellent tour guide and photographer. He provided a lot of information on all of our stops and showed us some great locations since we had a tour diversion due to 2 plus feet of snow closing the icefields pkwy. Highly recommend this tour and hope to do it again when it isn't winter.

    Our family recently had the most incredible 2-day private tour in Banff National Park and Yoho National Park, and we owe it all to our amazing guide, Naveen. If you are looking for a private tour that is both informative and genuinely fun, look no further!

    From the very beginning, Naveen made us feel completely at ease. We were traveling with my mother and my 9-year-old niece, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone had the best experience possible. His humor and attentiveness were unmatched, and he had endless creative ideas for videos and snow-play activities that made my niece’s first snow experience truly magical. She couldn’t stop talking about it afterward!

    Beyond his kindness, what really set Naveen apart was his extensive knowledge. He provided fascinating insights into the history, wildlife, and ecosystems of the area. From the stunning frozen waters of Lake Minnewanka to the breathtaking beauty of Lake Louise and Emerald Lake, every stop became so much more meaningful thanks to his engaging storytelling. His knowledge of wildlife and plants was particularly impressive—we were completely captivated by his explanations, and we left the tour with a much deeper appreciation for the natural wonders around us.

    Since we had mentioned our interest in spotting wildlife, Naveen did everything he could to make that happen. His keen eye and expertise in the area gave us the best possible chances, and his enthusiasm made the experience even more exciting. My mother was also deeply intrigued by life in Canada, and Naveen shared wonderful personal stories and insights about the country’s economy and daily life, making the tour feel even more personal and memorable.

    And let’s talk about his photography skills—absolutely incredible! At times, we felt like we had hired a professional photographer alongside our guide. The photos he took were simply stunning, capturing both the grandeur of the landscapes and the warmth of our family moments.

    The second day of our tour brought heavy snowfall, but thanks to Naveen’s expert navigation and adaptability, we still had an amazing time. He carefully adjusted the itinerary and used his deep knowledge of the parks to make sure we still got the most out of our experience. Since we weren’t very experienced with walking in snow and ice, he also provided thoughtful guidance and constant reassurance, making us feel safe every step of the way.

    A huge shoutout to Reena as well, who corresponded with us frequently and promptly through emails to help plan this trip. Her excellent communication made the entire process seamless, and we truly appreciated her effort in ensuring everything was perfectly arranged.

    By the end of our journey, we felt not just like we had an outstanding guide, but like we had made a friend. Thank you so much, Naveen, for making this trip so special! If you’re considering a private tour in Banff and Yoho National Park, don’t hesitate—book with Vista Chase and Naveen. You won’t regret it!

    Overall, the experience was very enjoyable. Our driver/tour guide Natasha was very accommodating and knowledgeable. She thoroughly explained ways to get the most out of the somewhat limited time we had at each location. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to others wishing to visit Moraine Lake and Lake Louise.

    We had the privilege of having Michael F. as our tour guide on this magnificent tour, and he was exceptional. Professional and knowledgeable, he tailored the experience by offering us various options, making it truly personalized. His passion for guiding was evident, as he seemed to enjoy the tour just as much as we did! Best of all, his professional photography skills added a special touch—he captured stunning photos for us to cherish. I highly recommend this tour!

    JB was one of the best tours guide we ever met. He was punctual, friendly and kept our small group entertained with local knowledge throughout the trip,

    The 2-hours stops at lakes Moraine and Louise were well planned. They were long enough for leisure walks and photos without the rush. Highly recommended.

    We’ve been on various guided tours across Canada and this was by far the best. The views were beautiful, the boat was comfortable and not crowded. However what made this tour perfect was Gina and Kirstie. Gina and Kirstie’s knowledge of the area, local legends and how they went above and beyond to interact with the passengers was really fantastic. We also want to note that this was an extremely family friendly activity with both Gina and Kirstie demonstrating kindness and attention to our 3 year old daughter and the other children on board. Would 100% do this tour again and recommend it to everyone.

    Our Rocky Mountain trip was truly exceptional, thanks to our guide, Teddy. He went above and beyond to show us stunning views and hidden spots we wouldn't have found on our own. Teddy's knowledge of the Rockies was impressive, and he shared it with enthusiasm. We learned so much and had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Rocky Mountain Trips! Oh and the Spotify Playlist is on point, definitely added that to my library 😀
