Discover downtown Calgary on foot with a local guide, from the Calgary Tower to the East Village.
The tour begins at the Toonie Tours storefront on 8th Avenue, where the Operator sees the Calgary Tower, then walks Stephen Avenue, the city’s historic pedestrian street. The Operator continues past Arts Commons, the Central Library, and City Hall to the East Village, with stops at the St. Louis Hotel and the Wonderland sculpture in front of The Bow. The route heads back through the +15 Skywalk, Calgary’s network of indoor walkways, and the Devonian Gardens, an indoor garden in the heart of downtown, before finishing at the Fairmont Palliser and the storefront.
Along the way, the guide shares stories of how Calgary grew and offers helpful tips on where to eat and what to see during the Operator’s stay.
The tour is tip-based: the Operator pays a small booking fee on Viator, and at the end tips the guide what the tour felt worth.
