“I almost didn’t make the trip, but I’m so glad I didn’t back out! Banff Rocky Mountains are absolutely breathtaking. I was fortunate to experience both clear sunshine & fresh snow during the same trip. Our tour guide, Angel, was fantastic; he is informative & attentive about his group. I followed his lunch recommendations, & his music selection for the drive made the experience even better. Definitely a trip I’d recommend!”

“Really good day out from Calgary and you get to see everything in the itinerary. Our guide was Murray and he was sure to make the day fun and educational while driving safely. Communication with the team was good, they communicated via WhatsApp and the visitor message app confirming the tour the day before with pick up time from your hotel. The only slightly negative was the bus really needs some shock absorbers it was very bump and loud, the USB charging ports didn’t work for all (depending on your cable) but they had power banks for you to use instead. Overall a lovely day, thank you.”

Unfortunately our original transportation didn't start but Banff to Do didn't miss a beat. Even though our start was a bit delayed, our driver/tour guide Ben hit the ground running. We made up our time and had an amazing experience. Ben was very knowledgeable and just a really fun person to be around. We loved Ben!”

Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour | Gratuity-Based

8.Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour | Gratuity-Based

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 378 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $5Best value

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.”
