Great walking activity

Wayne_A, Apr 2026

Easy to use once downloaded. The information was insightful and the audio started at the right time on most of the stops. Follow along on the map to make sure you don’t miss a point of interest.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thanks for taking the tour! We’re glad you enjoyed the walk and found the information insightful. Great to hear the audio triggered smoothly at most stops. You're right - following along on the map is definitely the best way to catch every point of interest. Thanks again for exploring downtown Calgary with us!

Fun Tour!

Leslie_P, Sept 2025

Best to have tech savvy friends. Two of ours couldn’t figure out how to download the app and enter the code.

Response from Host, Sept 2025

Thanks for the great review! We're so glad you had a fun time on the tour. We're sorry to hear that some of your friends had trouble getting the app set up. We're always working to make the process easier, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to see you all again soon!

Good Tour, GPS not accurate

Brandon_S, Oct 2024

Good walking tour of downtown. Included history of major buildings. The GPS wasn’t very accurate and most of the waypoints had to be manually started.

Very nice tour

Linda_S, Oct 2024

Nice to be able to listen or read at each stop. Also nice to go at your own pace. Covered lots of downtown sites.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thanks for the wonderful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and found the audio guide informative and easy to follow.

Great walking tour

Elizabeth_M, Jul 2024

Loved this walking tour! It was a great way for me to explore the city of Calgary on my own at my own pace. It allowed me to stop and explore. The voice was nice and the instructions were clear. Only downside is that if it registered that I got to the next site it would skip to that narrative even if I was listening to another.
