Very informative tour - The tour was very information and we passed from all main sights in Calgary. Our guide Joshua shared lots of interesting facts with us about the city and its architecture. About half of the tour was indoors which I wasn’t expecting it but that was great considering it was a negative temperature outside. One thing I’d like to have been included as part of the tour is recommendations about things to do in Calgary (e.g. museums) and restaurants to try.

Had a great tour in... - 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!

The guide was phenomenal... - 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

Great overview of Calgary - This is a great 3-hour tour to become familiar with the history and sights of Calgary. We explored areas of the city that I did not even know existed! We walked down historic Stephen Avenue, into the +15 Skywalk, past Town Hall, into the new public library, and even had a stop at Cochu, a world-famous chocolatier! It was an excellent way to see different areas of the city and our guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable.

Worth a Try - 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.

A great overview of Calgary - We took this tour to fill the few hours we had to explore Calgary, and it made us wish we had a little longer! Despite the cold, Mario kept us all smiling with his happy disposition. He filled the tour with some interesting insights into some of the well known and less well known aspects of Calgary, and provided some great photo opportunities.

Service Beyond Expectations - Great tour of the city. With loads of history and background to the various places we visited. Our guide, Daniel, was full of interesting and often witty explanations. He said at the beginning that he wanted to prove to us all that he was "not the worst tour guide". He achieved his objective, we would give him 5 stars out of 5.
