Zaheed was a great guide. Informative, patient and accommodating.
The guide was very interactive, helpful. Overall great experience.
Zee was great. Extremely knowledgeable and funny. Would definitely do another tour with him . Great attitude and friendly. It was a very convenient way to see so many things.
The tour was amazing and informative. I get to know something about the science behind and history of the ancient worlds. The badlands was a great place to explore and look into in a way to gain fresh knowledge on how the earth came to be as it is to today.
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.
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.
