This was an extremely well organised tour, perfect for those looking for a customized experience. The guide Walid was very informative, a great photographer who had well composed shots and told us how to pose. The luxury SUV was spacious and equipped with all the latest amenities and snacks. There was no rush, it was very smooth and I highly recommend this tour to everyone!
Excellent program put together by our very attentive guide Jay, who gave us a great overview of the attractions if our tour, but also provided us very interesting facts pn the region.
My son Chris and I had a wonderful time on a day trip to Drumheller and the Tyrell museum. Our guide, Waleed, was excellent, friendly and helpful. Chris is physically handicapped, and Waleed was great in helping him in and out of the car. He was very flexible with planning our day and itinerary. Highly recommended, and I plan to use Rockies Badland Explorers again in the future.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted that you and Chris had such a memorable day exploring Drumheller and the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Your kind words about Waleed's care, assistance, and flexibility truly mean a lot to us. Thank you for your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you both back on another adventure!
