Great Dinosaur museum - Waleed was a great tour guide, knowledgeable and friendly. Good communication skills. Always informed all participants at a viewing site length of time we had for a particular place before we had to get on the bus again for next stop .

Excellent Trip! - It was a very enjoyable trip in a comfortable vehicle. Amine and Waled were our guides and they were professional, courteous, and always willing to offer a hand to take photos for my partner and I. The audio recording provides some information on the geological formations, and our guides offered a few pieces of information on the surrounding area. The Royal Tyrrell museum was spectacular, but as prior reviews mentioned with only 2 and half hours we didn't have time to linger over the fabulous exhibits. Horseshoe Canyon and the Hoodoos were stunning to see, and we enjoyed the mix of museum and outdoor places to see.

Excellent tour with exceptional tour guide Aziz - The Drumheller-Badlands-Hoodoo tour was very enjoyable and beyond our expectations. It was greatly enhanced by our tour guide Aziz who was very knowledgeable and friendly. He gave interesting information about the places, their history/geography and was very helpful. Thank you, Aziz!

a great day-long getaway from Calgary! - This small group tour was excellent; Amin is such a lovely guide with a relaxed and professional character. What is most pleasant about this tour is seeing a different side of Alberta, far enough from Calgary that you feel like you've really explored something new. The canyon was breathtaking. The dinosaur museum is world-class; it has to be the best museum in the world dedicated to dinosaur fossils. Many interesting things to see and a lovely day-long road trip from Calgary.

Good to tour the Badlands - A well organized trip in a comfortable vehicle. Plenty of interesting stops on the tour, but don't expect a lot of colorful stories from local native drivers as details are provided by an audio recording over the minibus speakers. The Royal Tyrrell museum is enormous, so the 2 hour stop allows only a glimpse. Horseshoe Canyon's weird landscape was a highlight.
