I really can't say enough positive things about my tour Friday! It was well timed, my tour guide was informative and entertaining but not over bearing giving me time to take in all of the sites. Really enjoyed all of the stops along the way. This Drumhellar tour far exceeded my expectations. My favorite part would be the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Highly reccomend!

This is a wonderfully comprehensive tour of the Drumheller/Badlands region. It is well-paced and covers a lot of ground. The Royal Tyrell Museum is the undisputed highlight of the tour. Raj is a great guide and conversationalist, both informative and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore Drumheller and the Badlands.

    Great small group tour

    Olga_V, Nov 2025
    The tour was great and very well paced. My issue with most tours is that the stops are too long and I get bored. At first, I was hesitant about 2.5 hrs at the dinosaur museum, but between the exhibits themselves, hike rout, viewpoint and lunch there’s actually a lot to do. Overall, I feel like it was efficient but not rushed. My group was 4 people (+ the tour guide Raj) in a van. The vehicle is new, clean and has enough space. Raj was accommodating and gave a lot of info. Overall highly recommend if you came to Calgary without a car and want to see something other than Banff. The terrain in the Badlands is out of this world

    Thanks for your review, I keep trying to improve it. And I'm glad you had a nice day.

    Ann_G, Oct 2025
    A well paced tour. A lot of time at the Royal Tyrrel Museum, which is good because the exhibits are extensive. Short stops for places like Hoodoos, horse thief canyon and horseshoe canyon where you are essentially just viewing the landscape. Guide was very knowledgeable. Also a small group tour, which is good.

    Thanks for your positive review. Hope to serve you again in Calgary. Safe travels.

    Leslie_B, Oct 2025
    The trip cost is so worth it. Our guide Raj made sure that we are comfortable during the tour. He is very organized and knowledgeable about the history of each place that we visited. I’m a solo traveler and he is kind enough to take photos of me. Highly recommended!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thanks for the review. Wish you all the best for your travels.

    Absolutely amazing day with dinosaurs

    Victoria_P, Oct 2025
    An amazing day with the most amazing guide. The trip to see the dinosaurs and Badlands in Drumheller was fantastic. From the beginning when we met Raj he made us feel comfortable and completely filled us in on all the useful knowledge we needed about the landscapes and discoveries. I would recommend this day trip without hesitation.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thanks for the recommendation. Enjoy your visit in Alberta.

    Prehistoric tour

    Andy_C, Sep 2025
    The Tyrrel dinosaur museum and tour of the Badlands are amazing, our guide Raj was very knowledgeable on the places and their history, enhancing the experience.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank You for your commendation. Wish you safe travels.

    Most interesting day out

    Dorothea_V, Sep 2025
    Unfortunately Drumheller was doing maintenance on two major attractions which dampened our enthusiasm a bit. However, our guide Raj went out of his way to more than make up for this. It was a lovely trip. Raj is knowledgeable and helpful. The museum is breathtaking and the badlands an unexpected but extremely interesting experience. Raj took us out, even though only two participants. WOW! Thank you!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you for your kind words. I learned a lot from you too. Hope to see you again in Calgary

    Never Cancelled, Always Exceptional: My Drumheller Tour with Raj

    Abhishek_S, Aug 2025
    "When booking a tour as a solo traveler, cancellations are a risk. Not with Raj from Rocky Charter! The trip to Drumheller this August was perfect. Raj's professionalism and passion were evident. The itinerary balanced iconic sights with unique, local spots. His historical knowledge and warm personality made the tour feel personal. Raj's dedication is a huge asset to his business and is highly recommended to anyone seeking a reliable and exceptional tour experience. Book with Raj—it won't be regretted."

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thank you for your commendation. I admire your passion for travel, and hope to serve you again in Calgary.

    Beyond my expectations!

    Sharon_S, Jul 2025
    First off, the communication with the tour operator (Raj) is really good. It ended up just my husband and me=a private tour! We enjoyed the whole day so much. The sites we saw: The Royal Tyrrell Museum which is phenomenal, Drumheller and all the dinosaur statues Wayne and the Last Chance Saloon The Hoodoos which you need to see in person because photos don’t do justice Horseshoe Canyon- the views from the top and the bottom Raj made sure we were happy. He’s a great safe driver and provides commentary during the drive. He also plays a narration from a tour guide app that is interesting and funny! We feel like we lucked out picking this excursion.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity to manage your day in Drumheller. You are delightful guests, and I hope you enjoy your Alberta Tour.

    Excellent

    Gael_R, Oct 2025
    Raj is fantastic! He has a lot of knowledge about everything in the tour, and even beyond! He listened to our requests and very accommodating. We had a memorable day thanks to him. The sights to visit were very interesting. Enough time spent in the museum which is huge, and enough time spent in all other sites too. We did not feel rushed by the schedule and we had a great day overall and learned a lot. Thank you Raj!
