Calgary - walking tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Our tour guide, Jamie, is knowledgeable about the area. I am amazed by his skills in understanding and conversing with people of different nationalities who have language barriers, especially their diction. Give this a try when you are in Calgary. Kudos.

Great personalized tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Thanks for personalizing my tour to focus on art and architecture. And for the tips on public transportation

A perfect tour for the first day in Calgary!

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour was definitely worth it, even with the cold! Being in a small group made the experience more enjoyable, and time passed quickly. Jamie was extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and buildings, sharing fascinating stories as we explored downtown Calgary. He also gave us the option to choose the final part of the tour between two options, which was a nice touch. Highly recommended!
