Went into American waters twice on zodiac trip and saw Olympic Mountain range. Would definitely recommend this trip.”
3-hour Thousand Islands cruise from Gananoque with Boldt Castle views, English/French audio, restroom onboard, and snack options.
“Gorgeous views but 3 hours was too long. 1-2 hours should be good. The boat was so crowded and loud because of so many people that I’d recommend trying to do it on a weekday.”
A 3-hour downtown Calgary walk led by a local guide, covering tower views, Stephen Avenue, +15 Skywalk, Devonian Gardens, and more.
“We recently did a 3-hour walking tour of downtown Calgary. While our guide was very nice and personable, the experience itself fell short. The tour felt unstructured, with no clear flow or storytelling to tie things together. At times it was quite long without any short rest stops, which made it tiring. Unfortunately, we didn’t come away having learned much, as the information shared was quite superficial and didn’t provide much depth or insight into the city. With additional training and more focus on structure and content, this could become a much stronger tour.”

“We were very lucky on the day we went because the water was calm and there was a perfect blue sky. We saw lots of whales but I think again very lucky trip.
