Amazing.natural history museum.

The museum was amazing. The van was cramped and hard to get in and out. The trip was organized with plenty of bathroom breaks.

A great excursion

Zee was a fantastic guide! He was very knowledgeable and a delight to travel with. We really enjoyed Horseshoe Canyon and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. The rest of it was less impressive, but still enjoyable.

It was great overall, be...

It was great overall, be ready to look at rocks all day. I would adjust some timing, ex make last chance hotel shorter stop and extend hoodos. Zee was kind and entertaining. Bus was chill enough for a hot summer day, it’s not the best for sleeping but comfortable enough. I would suggest to add food information to description.
