A must on day 1 in Calgary - Tristen couldn’t have been more helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We had a great walk-through Calgary and due to the weather, he diverted us to the skywalk often which was very interesting. I think seeing the inside and outside of the library was our favorite thing. This walk is very highly recommended when you arrive in Calgary.

Great experience navigating the Stampede activity - The walking tour fit into my schedule perfectly before heading to the airport for my flight home. Calgary street life was hopping because of Calgary Stampede. But Daniel did a great job navigating around the activity and bringing the city history and cultural life alive.

Great walking tour - It’s a nice and comprehensive walking tour thru the city centre. Our guide Tristen was so easy going yet structured and jovial and explained all in a very fun way without any rush. It helps that the weather was great on this very ‘first flip’ day before the Stampede. On a side note … it’s a free tour yet expect to contribute a substantial ‘compulsory tip’ which in our case was no issue with Tristen as guide. Definitely recommended if you can spare the time and kilometers coz it didn’t feel like it !

Great tour - Great tour and exactly what we needed after long day of flying yesterday. Our guide Daniel was very good and knowledgeable. The pace was easy and we got a feel for the city of Calgary that wouldn’t have otherwise.
