Calgary Tip-Based Walking Tour

Summary: So glad we decided to take this tour despite the rainy weather. It gave us a chance to take advantage of the Calgary Skywalk, which we wouldn't have used otherwise! I loved getting to learn about the city and see some cultural, historic and architectural highlights. I really feel like I walked away with a much better sense of the city and had the opportunity to visit places I wouldn't have seen without this tour. Loved the living garden wall, for example! Our guide was super enthusiastic and passionate about his city and did not let the weather get in our way. Our tour was definitely less than 3 hours - I have no idea what we missed because of the weather, but I didn't feel cheated. It was also a bonus to have been there right after stampede because there was still artwork in the windows and Yahoo! signs around town.

Summary: The walking tour of Calgary was easy, fun, and a great way to learn some history of the city. I highly recommend it, especially for first-timers to the city of Calgary. Some highlights included a visit to the beautiful public library and seeing the public art in the downtown area.

Summary: Tristan was great- very informative. Took his time walking and made sure we were well informed of the sites we were seeing.

Summary: Jonas was a great tour guide of Calgary. We went at a good pace even though there were alot of stairs. He was patient with those of us going at a slower pace.

Summary: Tristan was an amazing, engaging, lively tour guide. We learned so much and his stories were well researched Would definitely do this tour again and recommend it to others !

Summary: Tristan was amazing—entertaining, fun, & informative. The 3 hours flew by. I highly recommend this tour for an orientation.

Summary: This walking tour covered a lot of ground in downtown Calgary, from the preserved sandstone buildings to many art installations and the beautiful library.

Summary: 24 Rotarians from the Calgary International Convention found the best walking tour today. The weather was perfect. Our guide today was Darryl, a witty, outgoing, wealth of knowledge about the city and its history. He is very personable and has a great heart for people. We had a group of older adults that he made sure were accounted for, on and of stairs and elevators at the various points of the tour. We now know a lot more about Calgary.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
