A very thorough walk about the city with so much information. Tina was terrific.
I would highly recommend the tour.
Barbara_W, June 2026
Morning tour, excellent introduction to downtown Calgary. Our guide was wonderful and so full of information. Lots of walking. Highly recommend!
Marie_N, June 2026
Guide knew the history of the city. She was mindful of the needs of the group (ie. mobility). It’s a walking tour so expect to walk a fair distance.
ROBIN_B, June 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the city but at times it was a little hard to hear him. But still worth it!
Richard_L, June 2026
A good long walk. Mostly outdoor so weather dependent. Lots to see.
Museum was very interesting. Much history.
Sally_K, June 2026
Max gave a great tour and is very knowledgeable about Calgary. We saw great restaurants, businesses and sights. We recommend Max highly.
Csilla_N, June 2026
The Calgary walking tour was excellent! Our guide, Chad, was very knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights about the city. He also showed us hidden gems in downtown Calgary that we would have easily missed on our own. A fantastic way to explore the city—highly recommended!
DwightPeter_T, June 2026
It was a fun day and educational experience. Tina did an amazing job on the tour. Time went by so quickly. Learn a lot about Calgary. Highly recommend . It was a big group. It would be better if they provided headphones since there are times we can’t hear her
Donna_E, June 2026
Be prepared to walk and change your clothes with the weather. A nice overview of downtown Calgary. Hit the highlights.
HB_W, June 2026
Very friendly guide. Tour was very informative. Covered important areas. Great start for our first day in Calgary.

Cool experience to learn and see more about downtown Calgary and its history. Our guide was amazing, and she showed us tons of cool things and dropped lots of cool knowledge bits on us! You do have to walk through some iffy parts of downtown but stay as a group and you should be A OKAY!
peter_g, May 2026
The guide did not turn up, we went to toonie office who could not give us a guide. I sent a message to your app and have not had a reply. We had taxis in/ out. Thoroughly disappointed especially as leaving for the UK tomorrow. We self guided but only using Google. Still have had no explanation why the tour did not happen. Have given one star for ease of getting onto the tour and feel that I have been very generous. The other woman on the tour was claiming her Uber as we left the office.

Brilliant guide, Chad. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Calgary was a great city, very innovative, lots of restaurants. Chad recommended some nice spots which we took advantage of
nariza_J, May 2026
I loved the walking tour very educational. Our tour guide Tina tried to show all the nice places downtown. The only thing I didn’t like was maneuvering lots of stairs. Just be ready to do 5 k . This is not for older people if you’re not fit. Would recommend this to all though.
Ellen_M, Apr 2026
Very nice tour around the city . The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly . Great photo op for lots of places.
Kim_F, Apr 2026
It has a combination of indoor and outdoor walking. We had fantastic weather, super friendly and knowledgeable guide Chad and learned so much as newcomers to Calgary.
Lorna_M, Mar 2026
Great way to get to know downtown Calgary. Our tour guides James and Chad had lots of interesting information. The library was a highlight.
Justine_L, Jan 2026
Had a great time wandering around downtown Calgary, learning about the city and its history. Worth doing to get your bearings for the city.
Raphael_E, Dec 2025
Had a great tour in Calgary. I would say the only unfortunate thing was that the +15 skywalk was closed because it was Christmas Day. Really enjoyed the tour because of Joshua. He shared a lot of information about the places we went to. Also since we mostly walked outside, he always tried to look for places we could stop at to warm up (though not a lot due to the holiday). Honestly would go for another tour if he was the guide!
Shawn_M, Dec 2025
Great tour , a mix of indoor and outdoor walking and lots too see . Easy walking for family with kids
tyleasha_l, Nov 2025
The guide was phenomenal he was very attentive to each guest there were 15 of us and he somehow made time for each person I’m writing 5 months later but it was in June 14th I think 2025. He was a really good person very genuine something you don’t see often. We are black American and he treated everyone the same. I really wish I remembered his name nonetheless when I mention my banff trip he’s always the person I mentioned bc I was so Impressed. I want to say Brandon but I don’t feel like that’s right. Plus I’m bad with names
Aileen_G, Nov 2025
Eduardo was personable and knowledgeable. The route was well-planned and the timing was just right. Even though a few points of interest were closed for the holiday, he kept the tour engaging and enjoyable. He also took excellent photos throughout. Highly recommended for Calgarians, newcomers, and visitors.
HSICHEN_W, Oct 2025
Our downtown walking tour with Mario was outstanding! Mario was an exceptional guide—incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Calgary's history and architecture. He brought the city to life with fascinating stories and showed us hidden gems we would have missed on our own. This 3-hour tour is a must-do for an authentic and engaging Calgary experience.
Tobi_W, Oct 2025
Small but mighty. It is a 3 hour tour but mileage short. Francis is the best guide very thorough and fun to be around
bennetsanhita, Sept 2025
We had a lovely guide. She knew her history! Very friendly and interactive. We covered a lot of area and saw a good bit of Calgary in the 3 hrs. The library was the highlight according to me. As was +15. There was more walking than I expected but it was paced out enough not to feel exhausted. Good food court at the mall next door to the finish point for a much deserved lunch
Alison_G, Sept 2025
Great tour with animated and friendly guide Tristan. Plenty of facts and history on this well paced walk around the City. Good value and very interesting.
Julie_H, Sept 2025
It’s a great introduction to the sights of Calgary if you want to explore further yourself or just want to spend a few hours exploring Calgary.
FannetteH, Sept 2025
Tristen, our guide was very knowledgeable with history of the places and friendly /approachable to ask various questions.
Paul_E, Sept 2025
Good overview of downtown Calgary. Saw some sights that we probably would have overlooked
the library was very beautiful and worth a visit.
