Morning Activities

This morning, you will be picked up from the Grey Eagle Resort to start your day trip adventure into the majestic Canadian Rockies to Banff National Park. Drive through the scenic town of Canmore to our first stop at iconic Moraine Lake before driving to Lake Louise. Lake Louise, located within Banff National Park, is known for its turquoise, glacier-fed lake ringed by high peaks. See the famous, picturesque lake and the Chateau Lake Louise that overlooks it.

Banff is at the center of Canada's first National Park, nestled high in the Canadian Rockies. Once "Siding 29" on the Canadian Pacific Railway, Banff was intended to be a tourist town from its inception. The Park's first superintendent, George Stewart, even oriented the town's first street to offer the best possible view of Cascade Mountain. With easy access to pristine wilderness, outdoor adventures, jaw-dropping landscapes, and vibrant history, there are many places to visit in Banff

After dreaming about travel to an exciting destination, arranging for time off work, booking your flights the last thing you need is for your trip to be cancelled. Anderson vacation's pre-Guaranteed tours take the uncertainty away from planning your travel and give you peace of mind to book our tours. Pre-Guaranteed Tours are group tours that we have already confirmed as certain to travel on the specified date. All 'Guaranteed Tours' will travel except in the event of a natural disaster or a catastrophic event that is beyond our control. They may already have the minimum number of people booked or else are tours that are known to be popular. Only select departures of tours are 'pre-Guaranteed'.

We pride ourselves on providing “a small shared group experience.” In the event that we have fewer than ten participants on a tour we will offer a “small-group surcharge” to ensure that the tour runs as scheduled. This fee, which is up to 15% of the “land” portion of the tour, will be offered to you as an option to continue with the trip. This fee will cover the costs associated with handling a smaller group.

Our tours are suitable for all age demographics. The average age of travelers is typically 45+.
