Walking your downtown Calgary - Our guy, Darrell was very informative, casual, had a sense of humor. The pace was good and we really enjoyed it. We were lucky to have beautiful weather in April. Would recommend.

Enjoyable walk thru Calgary history - We are here for just a couple of days, staying downtown. The walking tour was interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable about Calgary’s history. We saw several building with unique architectural features that we would have not noticed without our guide pointing them out. The tour pace was comfortable for our group of 15. Definitely recommend Toonie Tours.

Excellent Tour of Calgary - I was part of a solo travel group from Ireland and we thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour with Toonie Tours Calgary. We were so lucky to have Ayda as our tour guide, her knowledge of Calgary was excellent and lots of interesting information was shared with lots of recommendations and tips. Ayda was very good at setting our expectations. Her enthusiasm and authentic personality was refreshing. We loved this tour, thank you so much!

Calgary Walking Tour - Ida, our tour guide, was great. Very personable, and very knowledgeable about Calgary. We were a small group but she kept a close eye on us to make sure we were all with her. We were also lucky that the weather was superb for a walking tour. Many thanks to Ida and Toonie Tours for a memorable day.

he walk was fascinating. - Hello, For my birthday, my son and I visited Calgary for the second time. Before that, we lived here for a couple of months a year ago. Now we decided to go on a city tour to learn more about its history and architecture here, in the northern part of the American continent. I really love Calgary, for the clean water of the Bow River, for the fact that there are so many animals here, and in general, the city that likes to joke. That's how I feel about it. So, I discovered it again on a tour! I liked everything: our tour guide Jerry, our small group of traveling and interested people. Everyone was unique. And about the city, there is nothing to say! I got to know it in a new way. Traveling around Calgary with Jerry was so intriguing and just fun, despite the slight frost and fog. Jerry protected us from the cold, took us to warm cafes or the +15 Skywalk. The biggest impression was not even the Calgary Tower, but the Central Library and the chocolate shop. In the Library we even played a game that Canadians love. And I also remembered the central street of the city, Stephen Avenue. Everything here breathes the past. Here you will take a closer look, for example, at the owl on the window sill, and you will not see it, and do not know what it all means. In short, it is very interesting and pleasant to discover the secrets of the city in such a company of people. I am very happy with this little journey through the city. Three hours flew by so quickly that the parting was unexpected. Thank you, Jerry; thank you to your travel company Toonie Tours; thank you to all the members of our group. I didn't understand everything well because my English is not good enough, but everyone's kindness warmed my heart so much that I really wanted to continue this journey for an hour or two. All the best, Peace, and happiness to everyone! Olena and Roman from Kyiv, Ukraine.

Great way to get to know Calgary - Even though it was crazy cold, Jamie showed us a lot of Calgary and we had a really great time. He always made sure we were comfortable and he searched for ways to get inside every once in a while. That way, walking outside at -20 degrees Celsius was no problem.

Great tour of the city - Jamie was an excellent guide ! We learned so much about the history of Calgary, the buildings, the ideology of what the city should be like for its citizens .... all while he took us on the different streets, both outside and through the inner spaces, and to the different landmarks. Thank you Jamie for a great 3 hours !! 🙂
