5.00Very good tour with Habib, even with the rain we could see a lot of things, the only place we couldn't visit was the inside of the canyon as it was too muddy. The anecdotes and stories of Habib are always welcomed and interesting. 100% would recommend
Very informative and knowledgeable guide. Attractions were great.

5.00Aziz was such an incredible guide. You could tell that he had spent his personal time exploring the area and was really passionate about the tour locations. He was good fun and informative. The Dinosaur museum was a highlight for me. I was amazed at how many original fossils were on display and how complete they were. The tour was well timed so we didn't feel rushed but also fit a lot in. I would certainly recommend the tour to any friends visiting Calgary.
