Wonderful Tour Experience with a Kind and Caring Guide - I joined a tour in Yellowknife with my mother and sister. We were the only three participants on the tour. Our guide, Mimi, was incredibly kind, considerate, and friendly. She brought the car close for my mother, who has difficulty walking, and even helped us load her wheelchair into the trunk. Mimi also recommended some great restaurants in Yellowknife. Thanks to her, we had such a wonderful and memorable experience. Although this tour is listed as an English-language tour, Mimi speaks both English and Japanese. She kindly guided us using both languages to make sure we understood everything. If you’re not confident in your English but are interested in joining this tour, I believe Mimi can also support you in Japanese.

An excellent introduction to Yellowknife - My first time to Yellowknife and I was very fortunate to have a tour with Mo, even though I was the only one on the tour that day. I was able to appreciate the history and culture of the city as Mo is very knowledgable and he shared stories and information about the key landmarks in the city. It was a beautiful sunny day so I took photos everywhere, especially from the great view over Yellowknife and Great Slave Lake atop the Bush Pilot's Monument. Our stroll through some Old Town sites was a perfect pairing to the guided tours through the Legislative Assembly and the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, both beautiful buildings. I was very grateful that Mo agreed to modify the tour a bit to allow me to skip a few stops (which I expected to do on my own the next day) and add a few other interesting stops. What a treat! Mo is splendid company, a great conversationalist, and a meticulous tour guide. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting a thorough overview of this lovely northern city.

One Memorable City Tour with Peter - Our Yellowknife city tour guide, Peter, was one of the best guides I had to drive me around and I’ve traveled to over 15 countries. Temperatures were below zero and there was snow on the ground. He consistently helped me steady my wife on the snow, and helped her in and out of the vehicle. He narrated the local history at each stop, pointing out the 1st of this and that in 3 hours. He was quite personable as well. He asked whether we were looking forward to a particular site and emphasized that history. The $25 tip expressed our appreciation.

Fantastic City Tour - My wife and I had an amazing city tour, personally led by the owner himself. Leon’s deep knowledge of the city and its fascinating history made the experience truly memorable. Thank you, City & Culture Tour!

Good but overpriced - It was okay and although we had a nice tour guide, I don't think he was the best person to provide the city and culture tour for visitors to Yellowknife. He had only been in Yellowknife for 3 months and was far from fluent in English. We did visit appropriate sites and we liked the "agenda" and he took the time to take photos of us during our tour. For this to be a good value for money, it should be $50 - $60 at most.
