This is a wonderful tour and our guide did everything he could to make sure we learned about this amazing region. All the stops were great and showcased a different aspect of the regions character. Everyone was very friendly and we were able to see all that we wanted in the time we had. The Royal Tyrell Museum is a must see and the tour includes admission! This is a small group tour so it's even better! Definitely take this tour!
Very nice trip with Raj

We had an amazing one-day tour to Drumheller with Raj. He’s not only an excellent driver with a super comfortable car, but also incredibly knowledgeable about the area and its history. The whole trip was informative, smooth, and well organized. Raj shared fascinating facts and answered all our questions with patience and passion. Highly recommended if you want a fun, insightful, and well-guided experience. Thanks Raj for making our day unforgettable! Layth & Aaesha

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 than Banff. The terrain in the Badlands is out of this world
Excellent

Raj is fantastic! He has a lot of knowledge about everything in the tour, and even beyond! He listened to our requests and very accommodating. We had a memorable day thanks to him. The sights to visit were very interesting. Enough time spent in the museum which is huge, and enough time spent in all other sites too. We did not feel rushed by the schedule and we had a great day overall and learned a lot. Thank you Raj!

A well paced tour. A lot of time at the Royal Tyrrel Museum, which is good because the exhibits are extensive. Short stops for places like Hoodoos, horse thief canyon and horseshoe canyon where you are essentially just viewing the landscape. Guide was very knowledgeable. Also a small group tour, which is good.
Highly Recommended- An awesome private customised tour to DRUMHELLER

We had a wonderful private tour to Drumheller and the Badlands! Our driver and guide, Raj, was absolutely fantastic: knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs throughout the day. From the moment he picked us up from our downtown Calgary hotel until he dropped us off at the airport for our flight back to Vancouver, everything went so smoothly. Raj was detailed in his explanations, flexible with our schedule, and accommodating to a few changes we made along the way. The MPV was spacious, extremely comfortable and clean, making the long drive relaxing and enjoyable. It was truly a great tour, well-planned, informative, and memorable. And a special thank you note to Raj for taking such great care of me and my daughter throughout the trip. You made our visit to Drumheller so enjoyable and unforgettable! Highly recommend this tour with Raj as your guide !

We took this day trip with View Rockies Charter. What a nice company. You get a semi private tour for the price of big bus tour. Raj the owner, is a great fellow, very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The ride was very comfortable and safe. We really enjoyed our tour.
