Great Experience on Waterton with Waleed
Waleed gave us an unforgettable experience. We discovered Waterton in our last tour, we should have started with it as Waleed is a magnificent tour guide with all the extra snacks as well.. We will definitely look for his tour company next time we’re back in Alberta.. I would have given 6 stars if allowed-:).

Habib is friendly, outgoing. Courteous. Enthusiastic and a good driver. He kept his hands on the wheel! It is clear he enjoys his job as tour guide. He played a taped audio guide which introduced us to the trajectory of life on earth, very worthwhile.The dinasour museum took me by surprise by its size and importance. His microphone was not working which caused some consternation. However his voice is resonant, his English excellent, and he made sure we could hear him when he had info to share.
I would recommend this tour if your group has interest in paleontology and the study of life on earth through fossils.

What an amazing experience! Definitely recommend.
I took part in this tour with my mom and it was one of the best parts of our trip. Despite the early morning & long drives, our tour guide (Steve) provided us with an unforgettable experience. Not only was he extremely friendly, but he was also very knowledgeable and funny. He provided us with photography and viewpoint tips, along with snacks and water. Steve’s service combined with the beauty of the rocky mountains created an amazing day for my mom and I. We definitely recommend this tour, specifically with Steve as your guide! :)

Amazing day at Banff thanks to the tour!
We had a fantastic experience on the Four Lakes Tour with our guide, Boyd. Although he had only recently joined the company, he was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. Throughout the drive, he shared so many interesting facts about local wildlife, the natural environment, and conservation, which made the journey much more engaging.
Boyd also did a great job managing the entire day. At every stop, he made sure we had enough time to explore and take photos, and he would often proactively offer to take pictures for us, which we really appreciated. His driving was excellent as well, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip.
One of the best decisions he made was changing the order of the itinerary and taking us to Peyto Lake first thing in the morning. Since it was a Saturday, he had correctly anticipated that it would get extremely busy later in the day. This turned out to be a brilliant decision — we were able to enjoy Peyto Lake before the crowds arrived, and by the time we were leaving around 10 a.m., there was already a long line of cars waiting to get in. That small adjustment really helped make the entire day run smoothly.
Overall, I think this tour is absolutely worth it, especially because it is one of the few tours that includes Peyto Lake, which was definitely one of the highlights for us. Boyd’s professionalism, knowledge, thoughtful planning, and friendly attitude made the experience even better. Highly recommended!

The Best Tour in Calgary
It was a very wonderful experience we had today! and aside from the beautiful scene, our driver Kamal was so good, so knowledgeable and so pleasing. Is it possible to request him to be our driver for tomorrow, for the Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, Banff Tour from Calgary, etc… Ref. # 1351911135. Hoping for your kind consideration. Thank you.

Calgary Walking Tour
It was a 3 hour tour with quite a number of steps, most had railings to use. There was a 30 minute “rest/washroom” time at the library where there was also a small snack/drink cafe. Our guide was very good but is leaving Calgary next week. However, I’m guessing since the tour is “pay your guide what you choose”, that most of them are pretty good. I do think it would be appropriate if the company gave some guidelines for amounts.
The downtown area is very interesting and the art is impressive. Even though not all the art was exactly my taste, the fact there is so much & it is so diverse is very appealing & interesting. Highly recommend.

100% Best Experience. Dair is the Best!
I had several tours during my stay in Canada but this one I have to give it a score of 100%. This tour was so well organized. Our tour guide Dair was very friendly, caring, empathetic and so considerare of us. He was always in such high spirits, great sense of humor, put good music, and had the best recommendations to make the most of our trip.
Also, I appreciated that he kept us imformed at all times about the time of driving time between spots, and the recommended washrooms available. This way we were able to prepare ourselves and ensure we used the recomended washrooms even if we did not needed it and avoid using the unsanitary ones. I appreciated this the most since on another tour the guide did not provide us any info so we really did not know which was the recommended washrooms and how long was the driving time to get to them, so most people used washrooms in extremly poor conditions not knowing that the next stop was just a short drive and they could have hold it.
This tour is very long but soo worth it. So please be mindfull of the time and be always punctual, thats the best way to make the most of your trip. If you are late you will have less time on the spots. We were given alot of
time to enjoy all spots. The lakes were extremely beautiful. We met such great people during this tour. Dairs food recommendation was on point. I loved that he asked us auestions at the binning of the tour to know more about us and our interests to give us pointers and recomending what to do.
I got to do the canoe, although expensive it was soooo worth it. I honestly though I would not be able to do it. lol.
I was concerned for our tour guide because if we were on this tour for about 13 hours I cannot imagine when the day began and ended for the tour guide since he had to pick us up & drop us off first before heading back home
Thank you Dair you are very special. We loved the tour with you. Looking forward to comming back and trying that Alberta Steak. lol
Love
Edwin & Steph

Great tour of 2 breweries and beautiful street art in many parts of the city of Calgary.
Great tour of the city of Calgary city art. Many talented artists leave their mark on the sides if buildings all over the city. We began at the wonderful brewery and sampled 6 different beers. Then walked the city to see the art and ended at a second brewery sampling another f is ur beers. The second was Four Dogs which allowed patrons to bring their dogs with them inside.

We had an amazing experience on this tour! We truly enjoyed visiting Banff, the gondola, and the beautiful lakes. Everything was very well organized, and we felt very comfortable throughout the entire trip. Our guide, Nick, was incredibly kind, attentive, and splendid. He went above and beyond our expectations and made the experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore these beautiful places!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
Surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains, Calgary is an ideal home base for visitors wanting to explore Alberta’s expansive parks. A day trip from Calgary can take you to the glacial blue waters of Lake Louise, the picturesque town of Banff, and the Columbia Icefields. In summer, the dramatic badlands landscape of Drumheller is well worth a visit on a tour, too, as you discover the dinosaur capital of the world.
