Great time! The driver...

Relaxed Trip
Everything was as scheduled and we had a knowledgable, friendly driver, Yao !! Highly recommended. Thank you, Yao !!

Tour Good, Pick-Up Terrible
The tour itself was very good. We have used Viator several times. Viator depends on local carriers of course. There does not seem to be any company wide methods. You don't know which bus is yours or which person standing around is your driver. The Information Center parking in Camore is crazy. Vehicles everywhere, people not knowing anything.

Must see Moraine Lake!
Lake Moraine!! Unreal, amazing, gorgeous...there aren't enough words to describe it, you HAVE to go see it! I would go again anytime we are in the area. Lake Louise is beautiful as well, it just happened that there was smoke from northern fires the day we were there...would love to see it on a clear day!
via Viator
Our driver, Lucy was...
Our driver, Lucy was awesome! However I took one star away for the extremely confusing pick up. Lack of details on where the pick up happens (yes at the Royal hotel, but front, back, loading area?). This caused all kinds of unnecessary stress as there were so many tour buses and we had no idea which was ours until she showed up and had a list with my name on it. This should be made clear in the itinerary.

Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Canmore.
How much does Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake cost?
+
Prices start at $72 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 Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake?
+
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 Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake?
+
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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Banff/Canmore: Moraine Lake and Lake Louise Shuttle-90m each lake start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Canmore within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Canmore?
+
On Outty we rank every Canmore experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Explore Banff, Moraine Lake, Louise, Johnston Canyon & Bow Falls, 8 Iconic Stops. 12 Comfy Seats. See Banff's Best in First Class., 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.
