5.00This daytrip is day very well spent. Fun day overall! We saw many amazing spots like the horseshoe canyon, hoodoos, the world’s tiniest church, the historic town of Drumheller and of course the Dinosaur museum. The drive was scenic and relaxing. Our guide was Habib and he’s very knowledgeable and took great care of us. He can even be your photographer:). Highly highly recommended!!!

5.00A great tour - our guide Habib was super friendly, knowledgeable and more than happy to take some great photos! We were a small group and Habib took time to get to know everyone to link the tour to their experience. Comfy bus & worth the price to get out to all these stops and back in a day!

5.00We met our guide Habib at the Hyatt Regency and from then until we were dropped off we had a fantastic time. Weather prevented us going down into Horseshoe canyon but we managed to take a few pictures from the view point at the top. From there a quick trip to see the World's Largest Dinosaur before heading to the main event the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller. We got an extra 30 mins in the museum after missing the canyon walk and to say that wasn't enough time! The Tyrell is a truly magical experience we could have easily spent the whole day. We visited the Little Chuech before a quick detour to Wayne to get a photo of the Last Chance Saloon (bring cash if you are shopping as it is a small business), before visiting the Rosedale suspension bridge. The weather had improved for us massively by then and we got some lovely photos here and at the Hoodoos. Would definitely recommend.
Good Tour, very smooth and friendly guide

5.00Brilliant day. Careful, thoughtful and knowledgeable guide/driver, first class museum. Other sites were interesting to visit but secondary to the museum.
A Great trip with Habib to the Land of dinosaurs.

5.00We had a great experience with Habib on the tour. He picked us up from our residence in Calgary and we visited Drumheller and the Badlands, making many interesting stops along the way. He was very knowledgable about the history, geography and other fascinating facts about the area. We enjoyed listening and chatting with him throughout the trip. He was also very kind and respectful.
The badlands is a great contrast in landscape to the typical rockies tour. Very much worth doing.

5.00The badlands is areally cool place thats worth taking the tour for. The scenery is vastly different from what you see at the rockies as a tourist. The Tyrell museum was interesting. It would be amazing for people that are more into dinosaurs. The hoodoos were the highlight for the tour. We saw some wildilfe on the way and our guid walid was kind enough to stop or turn back for us to take pictures. Walid is general very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I also liked the trip duration. It was not too long or too short. The only negative thing in the trip for me would be the audio tour guide that would play from time to time and break up some of our conversation 🙃
Good Value-fun and informative
