Took a tour of God's country
It was fabulous. All 3 guides who were also the drivers were great and quite knowledgeable about banff and surrounding areas that we went to. Would use them again without hesitation. Worth every nickel. Earl and Senga

A Trip of a Lifetime !!!
We were on this 3 day trip from Calgary to Banff and back to Calgary every night. Each of the 3 days covered scenic destinations of the Banff National park and also exploring parts of Jasper and Yoho National Park en-route per itinerary of the trip. The views were Stunning, Picturesque and Exquisite !!! A big THANK YOU to our guide's SAMMY and ELIAN for providing context, history and background of the places we were visiting as well as making the trip fun and memorable !! Must say "If there is a Paradise on Earth - It is This. It is This. It is This !".

Amazing Banff Tour with Wonderful Guides
I had an amazing experience on the 3-day Banff tour and would definitely recommend it! All three days were equally enjoyable, and every place I visited was beautiful. The itinerary was very well planned, with enough time at each stop to enjoy the scenery, take photos, and explore without feeling rushed. The transportation was comfortable, and everything throughout the three days was well organized. What really made the experience special were our guides — Tammy, Andrew, and Layse. All three were incredibly friendly, funny, knowledgeable, and gave us lots of interesting information throughout the tours. Tammy was wonderful — very friendly, knowledgeable, and fun throughout the day. She explained everything really well and shared lots of interesting information about the places we visited. She was also very helpful and took the time to help everyone take photos at the different stops. Andrew was extremely funny and a great talker, which made the day especially entertaining. He shared so much information and also gave us several restaurant recommendations. I tried one of the places he recommended and absolutely loved it! Layse was also fantastic and went out of her way to help us. During the lunch break, the restaurant was very busy and she helped us get a seat, which was very thoughtful. She also recommended a place for hot chocolate, and it turned out to be really good! I genuinely enjoyed everything about the three days. The scenery was incredible, I had enough time at the stops, and each guide brought their own personality to the experience. A huge thank you to Tammy, Andrew, and Layse for making my trip so memorable. I would absolutely recommend the 3-day tour to anyone wanting to experience Banff and the surrounding areas!

One of the three days I...
One of the three days I had booked with this company was cancelled just 48 hours before my trip to Canada, so I was moved to a similar two-day tour. It also meant rearranging some of my other planned activities at very short notice, so I have to take one star off. Although I usually travel independently, this is a convenient way to see the main highlights without having to worry about the logistics. For me, though, there simply wasn’t enough time to really take everything in. A special thank you to our driver/guide, Oscar, who calmly kept the itinerary on track and safely got us wherever we needed to be. Overall, a convenient and well-organised tour that definitely left me with an appetite for more - and I think that “more” is exactly what I missed the most.

3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Canmore.
How much does 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $218 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Canmore usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Canmore is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Canmore, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Banff Moraine Lake Louise Johnston Columbia Icefield Tour?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Canmore can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Canmore and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

+

See Banff's Best in First Class., Lake Louise & Lake Moraine Tour, Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Tour from Calgary - Canmore - Banff. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Canmore?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Canmore?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
