This company wasn’t liable since no notice for cancellation until 40 mins waiting. Highly not recommend with it.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.
We had a really fabulous day trip with DJ to Drumheller! The itinerary was great, and we had a full day exploring the amazing sights of Horseshoe canyon and the incredible dinosaur exhibits at the Royal Tyrrell museum. This is a highly recommended trip for anyone staying in Calgary. thankyou!
The overall experience was great, most of the stops on this tour were worthwhile and interesting. The only thing we would change is swapping out the mini church photo op and coal mine in exchange for more time at the Royal Tyrell Museum. We were given 1.5h to explore the museum + eat food which felt rushed as we typically spend atleast 2h at any given museum.
The Drumheller tour was a really hot but fun experience, it was nice to learn about the dinosaur fossils found in the province.

The trip to Drumheller was nice. If you want to see badlands and hoodoos, this is a perfect trip. Royal Terrel museum was worth it and my daughter really enjoyed the place. Dhaval was an exceptionally good guide and took care of everything from start to finish. He knew the area well and took us to all the stops on the trip itinerary. I would recommend Dhaval and his team to anyone who wants to visit Drumheller area.
