Drumheller, something out of the ordinary!!!! - The tour was very good! Sue took us to see the streets of Drumheller before going to the museum. Everywhere you see a theme about dinosaurs, something quite different from what we are used to. The museum is really impressive and worth visiting if you are in Calgary or surroundings. It features a beautifully structured timeline and many original fossils and bones plus interactive elements that make the experience unforgettable for both adults and children. Sue later accompanied us to meet the village of Drumheller and to eat, which gave us the opportunity to talk with some locals and learn from their experiences. We also went to see the smallest church in Canada, and Horsethief Canyon which has very nice views. Sue was very understanding throughout and made our trip very enjoyable. Thank you so much!

A brilliant day out at Drumheller - This was a totally unexpected bonus trip, we went not expecting much and it far exceeded our expectations. We went to the information centre in Drumheller and we were given a map and a route to drive which was perfect ! We started at the Tyrell Dinosaur Museum, it was simply stunning, just an amazing place to see original dinosaur skeletons and bones. It's very informative, mind blowing and just awe inspiring. We then drove to Horsethief Canyon which was just great to see, we followed this by driving to a free ferry ride across the river. We headed back to the Hoodoos, payed a small amount for parking and had a wander around them. It's quite a long drive but well worth it.

Wonderful Tour - Sue was lovely, she picked us up right outside our hotel, so we did not need to worry about traveling anywhere ourselves first. Perfect for us as we did not have a car. The tour group was quite small, which meant Sue could be very accommodating about what we and the other people on the tour wanted to do. I had been very excited about the Royal Tyrrell Museum trip, so she planned for my boyfriend and me to stay for as long as we liked while offering other options to the other participants if they did not want to stay longer. We ended up spending over 5 hours at the museum! The walk through Horseshoe Canyon was beautiful, and not too difficult with only a short flight of stairs down to the bottom of the canyon and an easy flat path once down there. We visited at the end of the tour, so the sun was starting to set as we walked, really highlighting the canyon walls. We and the other tour group participants had nothing else planned for the rest of the day so Sue prolonged the tour, allowing us to get as much out of the day at Drumheller as possible. Sue was very social and entertained us the entire drive to Drumheller (which was over an hour's drive from Calgary).
