It’s about three hours of relatively easy walking. Mostly flat on even surfaces. There are some stairs but always with hand rails. Calgary is a beautiful city.
Lorne_B, Aug 2026
We got to see a lot of of the sites around Calgary. Unfortunately, many of the buildings were locked, so it limited some of our ability to see some things.
Catherine_K, Aug 2026
I really enjoyed this and learned a lot. Stacy loves her city and it allowed her to really show it off!
Jeff_J, Jul 2026
Great experience! Fantastic guide she walks fast so it was a great tour! We saw everything that you want to see in Calgary and got great tips on where to eat etc!
Andy_P, Jul 2026
Very good tour, covers a lot of the city and a good overview. We always do this type of tour and then work out some places to go back and revisit. Gives a good understanding of the history of Calgary and would recommend it.

Wonderful walking tour, love history and stories. Max was a great tour guide. She kept it light and fun and was very good at her job.
Sandra_K, Jul 2026
We saw places we would never have found ourselves! Very glad we joined it was great! Our hide also tipped us a lunch location which was great

Knowledgeable tour guide and made the tour a very interesting and informative adventure!
Recommend NTANTA as your guide as he is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the building architecture and city knowledge!
Catalina_B, Jul 2026
Great city and so much to see. We had a great guide who provided good information. The area is stunning, and we really enjoyed the tour. Overall, very happy with the experience. This is a 3-hour walking tour! Be aware that it is only walking for 3 hours. It worked great for us, but if you have issues walking, this is not for you.

Max was a great guide; she was very engaging and hospitable. I enjoyed learning about Calgary's history from her.
Dave_M, Jun 2026
We are unable to write our experience on this tour because after 30 minutes walking around the Edison Building, there was no Guide to be found. Yes, it rained all day. However, on the advertisement for this tour it says, “Rain or Shine.” If it was cancelled, then a text to notify us would be nice. If it wasn’t cancelled, then we have no idea where the Guide was located. While searching for Guide we tried twice texting the number to reach Tour Operator without a response.

I would highly recommend the tour.
Barbara_W, Jun 2026
Morning tour, excellent introduction to downtown Calgary. Our guide was wonderful and so full of information. Lots of walking. Highly recommend!
Marie_N, Jun 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, Jun 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, Jun 2026
A good long walk. Mostly outdoor so weather dependent. Lots to see.
Museum was very interesting. Much history.
Sally_K, Jun 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, Jun 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, Jun 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, Jun 2026
Be prepared to walk and change your clothes with the weather. A nice overview of downtown Calgary. Hit the highlights.
HB_W, Jun 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
