“The tour was great and very well paced. My issue with most tours is that the stops are too long and I get bored. At first, I was hesitant about 2.5 hrs at the dinosaur museum, but between the exhibits themselves, hike rout, viewpoint and lunch there’s actually a lot to do. Overall, I feel like it was efficient but not rushed. My group was 4 people (+ the tour guide Raj) in a van. The vehicle is new, clean and has enough space. Raj was accommodating and gave a lot of info. Overall highly recommend if you came to Calgary without a car and want to see something other…”
