Horseshoe canyon and the dinosaurs were the best part of the tour! The hoodoos were good but slightly disappointing after the highlight that was the Royal Tyrrell Museum (and also perhaps due to having been to Cappadocia in Turkey 😬) . Regardless we really enjoyed our excursion out of Calgary where we were picked up from a super convenient central location. Our guide Z was very friendly and informative and provided plenty of water on a hot day!. Would definitely recommend this trip.
The trip was comfortable, places well giving sufficient time each stop to explore. Our guide Zee was phenomenal, walked with the group and guided us through the entire trip. Would 100% recommend to friends.
Zee is the best guide! It's a great tour!
Zee was a wonderful guide! We had an awesome day in Calgary
The Royal Tyrell Museum provides a deeper insight into bio-diversity than the Smithsonian! We loved the ghost town and the old mine suspension bridge. Our guide Zahib was excellent. A very well organized and memorable full day.
Thank you very much for your informative. Looking forward to have you back on our tour game..
After visiting Banff and Calgary, we were looking for another day trip outside of the Calgary so we booked this tour. We stopping at the horseshoe canyon, dinosaur museum, a ghost town, suspension bridge and the hoodoos. Our favorite stop was the hoodoos which is what we really wanted to see. The length of the tour is just right. Our tour guide, Zee was very friendly, informative and did not make us feel rushed.
Thank you very much for your kind words.
