Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour | Gratuity-Based

2.Calgary City Highlights 3 Hour Walking Tour | Gratuity-Based

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 378 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $5Best value

Walk Calgary’s downtown with a local English or Spanish-speaking guide, visiting the Calgary Tower, Stephen Avenue, Central Library, City Hall, Wonderland, the +15, The Bow, Devonian Gardens, and Fairmont Palliser. The route is easy to follow and useful for first-time visitors, but plan for three hours on your feet and bring money for a gratuity.

“Our guide, Darrell, led us on a great walk around Calgary's highlights, keeping up an informative running commentary on the history, architecture and public art of the city. The only downside to this tour is its 'gratuities based' nature, so you need to have a hefty tip ready in your pocket at the end.”
