Great tour Great guide very enjoyable

Comfortable tour
This tour is a comfortable option to go around the city without a hassle. Special shout out to Hammad Juwaid who drove us around with patience esp in the downtown closures for the pride parade. He shared immense knowledge about the city and went above n beyond to show us more attractions in the time.

The Ordinarilyness of Calgary
Calgary is not a very exciting city. The Viator guide was pleasant, helpful, and engaging. We did get a good sense of Calgary, but our guide struggled to fill our time with interesting and meaningful content. I would not take this tour again. MM
