The badlands is a great contrast in landscape to the typical rockies tour. Very much worth doing. - The badlands is areally cool place thats worth taking the tour for. The scenery is vastly different from what you see at the rockies as a tourist. The Tyrell museum was interesting. It would be amazing for people that are more into dinosaurs. The hoodoos were the highlight for the tour. We saw some wildilfe on the way and our guid walid was kind enough to stop or turn back for us to take pictures. Walid is general very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I also liked the trip duration. It was not too long or too short. The only negative thing in the trip for me would be the audio tour guide that would play from time to time and break up some of our conversation 🙃

Good Value-fun and informative - Saw a number of places. Tour guide was friendly and helpful. The audio they had running in the vehicle was informative. Excellent value for the money. Glad I took this tour and would recommend to anyone considering.

Very nice day spent... - Very nice day spent exploring. Horseshoe canyon is great but must be more exceptional when the weather is warmer and would be able to take some time to walk thru the area. Was cold and slippery so did not walk down there Seeing the big dinosaure is ok but just a pass by i think is enough Tyrrell museum is pretty cool to see Bummer the suspension bridge was under maintenance and could not see it The hoodoos are quite exceptional landscape was my favorite part

Awesome trip. The walk... - Awesome trip. The walk around the canyon is a must. The children loved the Musuem - they could have spent all day there. It was a great trip and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

Satisfied with dinosaurs and the desolate wilderness! - A whole day of desolateness, unlike nature in Banff? It was a wonderful tour of the majesty and ancient world of Canada in The stops were not too gloomy, and I was able to enjoy the ride in the car and outdoors, with episodes about the places.

Badlands Tour - Waleed our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Tapped audio tour information took a little of the personal aspect out, versus the guide telling us everything. The stops were all very good.
