Highlights

The canyon’s two arms are approximately 5 km long each, extending from Highway 9 to Kneehill Creek, at two former mining communities of Dunphy and Gatine. In turn, it gives the name to the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.

Nice day! - Amman was very pleasant and he was great when my son thought he lost his wallet, which ended up In between the seats in van, then my car keys were also in my son pocket which fell with wallet but we didn’t realize til after Amman dropped us off at hotel. I called Amman and he went back checked that that evening, he didn’t find, but called the next morning and asked if he could double check and he did find the keys!!!

Great tour! - Or tour guide Aljay was personable and very flexible to accommodate our tour wants and food sensitivities. Enjoyed the stop in the Badlands at Horseshoe Canyon and the later stop to view hoodoos. The Royal Tyrell Museum is excellent.

Best your ever! - We visited the horseshoe canyon, hoodoos, Tyrell Museum and many more places all within a day; this was great for us, especially since we had a short stay in Alberta and wanted to see Drumheller and the Badlands. I highly recommend this tour, and I am looking forward to booking another tour with them soon.

Amazing tour with an even more amazing guide! - Our guide for the day was amazing! This was by far one of the highlights of our trip. Jef was friendly, knowledgeable and just overall amazing. The tour was catered to our interests which was fantastic for a group of Girl Guides from Ontario! While we there were too many fake dinosaurs (inside joke with Jef) we enjoyed every minute of the trip. We were very grateful he took a detour at our request to hit up McDonalds for some cold beverages and some ice cream on a hot day. We will recommend ABest Transport & Tour Services to everyone.

Superb Experience to Royal Tyrrell Museum and Dinosaur Provincial Park - I just returned home for a trip to Calgary where I was to experience Stampede, Banff and Jasper National Parks, and to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Dinosaur Provincial Park. I reserved my transportation to the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller with ABest Transport and Tour Services. Joey, the coordinator at ABest Transport, contacted me a couple of days before my trip to Drumheller to confirm all the details. The trip itself was great. My driver, Amman, was polite, thoughtful, and patient. We had a rich, rewarding conversation there and back. If I needed to go to the restroom ("washroom" in Canada) along the way, he kindly stopped. After the success of my trip to Drumheller, I reached out to Joey again and booked a trip to the Dinosaur Provincial Park. Most visitors know about the RTM but fewer know about DPP. If you enjoy learning about dinosaurs, want to see the Badlands and prairies, and have the time, I highly recommend a trip to DPP. Joey worked with me and was able to get me transportation to DPP that fit my schedule. One note of caution: If you want to visit DPP, check out the DPP website in advance. This you must do on your own. I registered via the website for the Explorer's Bus Tour which is two-hours. On the bus tour, you get to see sites that regular guests to the Park can't. For example, you get to visit and learn about paleontology history at the Park and get to see actual fossils on site. You get to touch and look for some on your own as well. It packs a lot into it for two hours. After the tour ends, you can explore the grounds nearby. I would recommend also visiting John Ware's cabin which is nearby the visitor center. John Ware was an African-American who became one of Canada's best-known and most legendary cowboys. Manny, my driver who brought me to DPP, waited patiently during my bus tour and afterwards, while I explored John Ware's cabin and did a brief walk among the incredible Badlands landscape (which is inside the DPP). After we left DPP and made our way back to Calgary, he made some stops for me to take pictures along the side of the road. The prairies are stunning for miles and miles to and from DPP. If you travel in early July (when I did), you'll see seemingly endless yellow flowers. They are canola plants and make for a lovely photo in the prairies. Both trips to RTM and DPP make for excellent day trips outside of Calgary. I recommend giving yourself a day to do each of these trips because they require several hours of driving there and back. I can't thank ABest Transport enough for their flexibility and professionalism to get me to where I wanted to visit during my time in Calgary. For travelers who don't have a car, I can't recommend ABest enough.

The museum was wonderful... - The museum was wonderful and the hoo doos were great. The stop in Drumheller to see the large dinosaur display was nice. The coal mine was closed. The tour was pricy for a drive basically to see a museum.
