Just do it. Tour guides...

Just do it. Tour guides are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Dan was wonderful and engaging. You literally cannot beat the scenery. The day started out drizzly and snowing, but it was still incredible. Once the sun came out, it was surreal. Again, just do it. You won't be disappointed.

Habib is friendly,...

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.

Fantastic Personalised Cycle Tour

I had a great cycle tour with Stacey! As the other people on the tour had cancelled, I ended up having a lovely personal tour, which was a real bonus. Stacey tailored the tour to me and gave me as much information as I wanted, making it both really interesting and enjoyable. We also stopped at a lovely local coffee shop, where we received a discount as part of the tour — a really nice touch. The tour was the perfect length and didn’t feel rushed at all. I really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend the tour, especially Stacey as a guide!

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! :)

Ridge Ride 2-Hour Horseback Trail Ride in Kananaskis

Kayla_F, Sept 2026

Fun even in the rain

This was definitely manageable for someone who has never ridden a horse before! There are inclines and declines along the way, but that was part of the fun. We did have rain the whole time so not the best views, though I bet it would be beautiful. Regardless, they had long raincoats for us to borrow, explained the horseback riding well, and it was a lovely activity!

Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour Gratuity-Based

Syd_H, Sept 2026

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.
