The guide was phenomenal... - The guide was phenomenal he was very attentive to each guest there were 15 of us and he somehow made time for each person I’m writing 5 months later but it was in June 14th I think 2025. He was a really good person very genuine something you don’t see often. We are black American and he treated everyone the same. I really wish I remembered his name nonetheless when I mention my banff trip he’s always the person I mentioned bc I was so Impressed. I want to say Brandon but I don’t feel like that’s right. Plus I’m bad with names

Great overview of Calgary - This is a great 3-hour tour to become familiar with the history and sights of Calgary. We explored areas of the city that I did not even know existed! We walked down historic Stephen Avenue, into the +15 Skywalk, past Town Hall, into the new public library, and even had a stop at Cochu, a world-famous chocolatier! It was an excellent way to see different areas of the city and our guide was very knowledgeable and enjoyable.

Worth a Try - Eduardo was personable and knowledgeable. The route was well-planned and the timing was just right. Even though a few points of interest were closed for the holiday, he kept the tour engaging and enjoyable. He also took excellent photos throughout. Highly recommended for Calgarians, newcomers, and visitors.

A great overview of Calgary - We took this tour to fill the few hours we had to explore Calgary, and it made us wish we had a little longer! Despite the cold, Mario kept us all smiling with his happy disposition. He filled the tour with some interesting insights into some of the well known and less well known aspects of Calgary, and provided some great photo opportunities.

Service Beyond Expectations - Great tour of the city. With loads of history and background to the various places we visited. Our guide, Daniel, was full of interesting and often witty explanations. He said at the beginning that he wanted to prove to us all that he was "not the worst tour guide". He achieved his objective, we would give him 5 stars out of 5.

It's pretty Good ! - Our downtown walking tour with Mario was outstanding! Mario was an exceptional guide—incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and passionate about Calgary's history and architecture. He brought the city to life with fascinating stories and showed us hidden gems we would have missed on our own. This 3-hour tour is a must-do for an authentic and engaging Calgary experience.

While the tour was a lot of walking, it was well worth the steps. - Tour gave a great overview of downtown city area. Guide was knowledgeable and very accommodating as we were an older couple.

Calgary Walking Tour - Daniel was great...gave us good information about Calgary and the places we visited. Walking tour was well organized and we were able to visit most of the places in my list. 3 hours was just enough time to see all the places we visited and not so tiring because we had a few stops on the way.
