My daughter arranged for an early morning ride on the Yellow Bus, and it was one of our best experiences of our week-long trip! We did not expect the excellent tour guide experience we received. Great crew!! Louis was the most gracious with knowledge, and guidance for another day’s trip he helped us plan out. 100% recommend, 100% will use Hop on Banff during our next trip. Thank you for everything. ❤️Joanie and Brenna

This was the best experience I could have ever expected! We had a limited time in Banff and wanted to see the most we could! They made it happen! The staff was amazing and their stories about Banff were detailed and they made the experience off the chart! Thank you so much!

A brilliant way to explore Lakes Morraine and Louise. The guides on the buses are very knowledgeable and informative. They also spend time with each group to find out what you want to do throughout the day and give some well placed advice on how best to achieve it. It’s also the easiest way to ensure you get to see both lakes if that’s what you want to do. Fantastic experience, I wouldn’t choose any other way.

It was an early start, but worth it, tour guide on bus very knowledgeable. Took a canoe out on lake louise, which for 30 minutes was about £90, but worth it. Nice to have a break from driving

Tyler was a great guide and the entire team was helpful and friendly. The yellow bus made the experience fun and simple to find
