4.00A great tour to the badlands by Raj. There are 2 pick up locations, one near the airport and one in downtown Calgary. The tour offers a good overview of the Drumheller and include visits to the Royal Tyrrell Museum, the largest dino sculpture, hoodoos, Horsethief and Horseshoe canyons, the Rosedale (Star Mine) suspension bridge and surprise stops at Drumheller's Little Church and Wayne's Fossil World (optional). Raj was very accommodating on the schedule, offering various pickup times if you wanted to stay at the museum longer (and skipping the Little Church and the Horsethief Canyon). Bottled water was included.
Exciting ! I would recommend to join this tour !

5.00Interesting sites but especially an extraordinary museum, both for the displayed pieces and for the staging. The vehicle was suitable and the guide (Taj) is friendly and very helpful.
Dinosaurs!

5.00Great day trip from Calgary if you’re looking for something to do other than Banff. We got to visit the Badlands and Drumheller which is famous for its dinosaurs. Also got to see some touristy stuff in the area like the world’s largest dinosaur and also the world’s smallest church. Raj was a great tour guide/driver and very knowledgable about the area. My only critique is that the dinosaur museum was a bit long. I think 90 minutes is more than sufficient. We were given almost 2.5 hours to explore by ourselves.
The best!
