It is a study in the earth's development. Odd shaped earth mounds, dinosaur bones ... real ones. And seeing the countryside. Also the audio along with the knowledge of the guide were great.

Habib was a good tour guide and we did see a lot of attractions. Would recommend this tour. Advisory We would want to add that you have 2hrs for the Royal Tyrrell Museum including for lunch so less time to go around the exhibits. So this excursion may not be suitable if you just want to see this museum. Also, there are steps to the Horsehoe Valley which may be difficult for people with mobility issues.
What a great tour -- just...

Well planned and delivered trip. Amin was a great guide and looked after the group in a friendly and informative way. Nothing felt rushed and the scenery was amazing as well as the dinosaur museum which was so well designed.
