Journée en petit groupe (4 dont le chauffeur) très agréable. Bon moyen de visiter les Badlands quand on n’a pas de voiture!

We had Robert as our driver and guide. He is very difficult to understand because of his accent. Even if English is your motherlangues, you'll have trouble. He talked more Mandarin than English. I booked an English tour and not a Mandarin tour!! If there was information to tell us, he played an audio play. At least you were able to understand that. But not what I paid for!
I didn't feel safe in the car.
This goes directly at Calary Tours: You are playing with peoples lives! The car got a few! stone chips on the windshield and two! cracks in the windshield! How can that be safe?!
The stops we made were not according to the schedule from the app. 15 min for Horseshoes Canyon instead of 30 min. I had to insist on this extra time from the schedule because I wanted to check out the view point down. You have plenty of time at the museum and a short walk, though.

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 offers, and to my opinion , the hoodoos diserves at least 1 and a half hour to enjoy and hike a little. Plus, the tour just provides you an automatic Siri like guide in the bus, as the driver IS not really a guide and does not speak a really good english. The computer voice linked to the GPS during the ride is actually kind of anecdotic and annoying to be honest. During summer there are shuttles that will take you from Calgary to drumheller and the Royal Tyrell museum, it could be an entire day of interesting activities for a modest cost.
