Full-day small-group trip from Calgary to Drumheller Badlands: Horseshoe Canyon, dinosaurs, Royal Tyrrell Museum, hoodoos, Wayne.

“Our day trip with Aziz was absolutely fantastic! The bus was filled with 13 people from all over the Globe, from Japan, USA, Quebec, Ontario and England. Aziz was an entertaining driver and tour guide who kept us laughing with his good-hearted humor and vast knowledge of all the sites we visited, as well as Alberta's history. The GPS-guided audio track was a great addition, pointing out interesting landscape features along the way. The Royal Tyrrell Museum was a highlight. We loved the VIP walk-in, which allowed us to skip the line and get right in after parking. However, two hours was not nearly enough time to explore everything. If we could…”

6.1 Day Guided Drumheller Tour: Calgary to Dinosaur Badlands

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $112

From Calgary to Drumheller: Tyrrell Museum, T. rex statue climb, hoodoos and canyon views. Tickets and water included.

“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…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 18 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $111

Calgary to Drumheller day trip featuring Horseshoe Canyon, Royal Tyrrell Museum, hoodoos, and more. Museum admission included.

“First of all the bus driver was really nice and the schedule was respected. But I feel I made a mistake by booking this tour. I really wanted to hike in the hoodoos and enjoy the Royal Tyrell museum, but the tour concentrate on diverse other touristy attractions (like the tiny church, the giant dinosaur or a view from a parking lot on the horseshoe canyon) I think those can be viewed in few minutes and are not really interesting. Actually, you would spend less money if you rented a car and went by yourself, plus you will be free to do all the interesting activities the Royal Tyrell museum…”

“Highly recommend and really great thanks to Raj for the wonderful trip we had in Drumheller. He is friendly, flexible and so knowledgeable about the area. The tour led us to the prehistoric world of dinosaurs and showed the wonder of the unique landscape of the canyons. Raj was even so kind to deliver us back the car seat booster that we left in his car after the tour finished. We can assure you it's worthy for joining the tour guide by Raj.”
