“Interesting and informative walk in a relaxed atmosphere”
I particularly liked the background information and details about the buildings and stations. Unfortunately, I lost the group in the library when I went to the toilet.

“Interesting tour”
This was a great tour that enabled us to visit and learn about so many places in Calgary that we would never have visited on our own. Having only one day before flying home to UK, this was the perfect introduction to Calgary. Our guide, Jamie, was knowledgeable and spoke clearly and loudly so that our fairly large group could all hear. He checked regularly to make sure everyone was comfortable and stopped at appropriate places for drinks, washrooms etc. Would highly recommend.

Thank you Daryl, I had to shoot in the middle, but will come back for another full tour with my family and friends :) Your tour gave me an accelerated knowledge about this city. As a visitor, I now have more knowledge than my cousins already living in Calgary ;) I sound so smart! Keep up the great work! All the best!
