Well worth the time - Best walking tour we’ve had in a while. The guide wasn’t a local but loves the city. Knows its history, excited by what’s it’s doing and how the city is evolving. Besides it being cold, the guide balanced outside and inside time so we didn’t ever get cold. Well worth your time.

21 October 2024 - Viewing the architecture of Calgary’s turn on the century buildings as well as more modern structures. The tour was a full 3 hrs, so bring your running shoes, plenty of exercise and fresh air!

Highly recommended walking tour - even in the snow! - I signed up for the 3 hour walking tour but it started snowing so no one else turned up. My guide was happy to go ahead even though I told her I wouldn't mind if she didn't want to (remember this is a tips tour!) and I'm so glad she did as it was a wonderful tour and I learned a lot about Calgary and its building and history. Highly recomended!

Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and willingness to share your knowledge. - I was in Calgary for just one day and wanted to learn more about the city and visit beautiful places. I really liked this guide. He told so many interesting things about the history of the city and showed its best sights. In such a short time we went to the best places of the city center. I doubt that we would have been able to see them ourselves without a guide.
