Saw a whole new side of Canada that I had no idea even existed. Our guide Daman was friendly and knowledgeable, and a great driver! The museum alone would have been worth the price, but with all of the other stops, you’ll have a blast and see some amazing natural sights.

Raj was a great leader! He gave info throughout the trip. The highlight was the Tyrell Dinosaur Museum and the Hoodoos.
Great day! Amazing scenery. Raj was extremely informative, gave clear timelines and was very knowledgeable about the area and history.
I really enjoyed this trip. Walid was an excellent tour guide, very attentive and knowledgeable.
Sites during the tour were well worth visiting. The guide was very knowledgable and a very good driver.
This was an amazing tour. Raj was a wealth of knowledge and excellent guide. The tour really exceeded our expectations- we highly recommend it and Raj.
This was a great tour we took from Calgary! Our guide was fun, knowledgeable and professional! We'd highly recommend this to anyone!
Great tour! Both my daughter and learned a lot about the region from Raj. Loved the sites. Museum is amazing. I had never heard of Drumheller before I started researching our trip. Glad we went.
Excellent experience. Raj is a great guide- knowledgeable, organized, with a good sense of humor. The museum is world-class and the drive to/from Drumheller gives you a sense of the true Alberta prairie.
Great day out with a knowledgeable guide
Museum is fantastic, hundreds of exhibits! Scenic ride was great with many stops. The Horse Thieves Canyon was spectacular! Hoo-doos are a a must see! Our guide was very informative and accommodating.
If you are in Calgary and have an extra day to travel to Drumheller, do it! The Royal Tyrrell Museum is unbelievable. The variety of dinosaurs is amazing. Raj was a great tour guide providing narration throughout. He picked us up on time, provided water and ample rest stops. You have a choice at the museum of staying about 45 minutes longer, or driving to see Drumheller’s Little Church and Horse Thief Canyon. If you choose to stay at the museum, Raj will circle back to pick up your group. There is food available at the museum. Great experience with View Rockies Charters.
Fantastic day tour. Raj was a brilliant guide, engineered the day to make the best of the weather. Excellent knowledge and organisation. Highly recommended
Raj was the best guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would happily go on another tour with him!!
Includes stops that are not very interesting like a drive out to a remote village just to go over several villages and a silly little church. Seemed overpriced
Raj was a gratuitous guide and excellent driver. Thanks for showing us the Badlands and museum!!!
Great tour given by Raj. It was exceptionally hot the day I chose but we rearranged the tour to be in the museum with AC during the hottest part of the day. Unfortunately it was too hot then to do the trails but other than that I got to see everything I wanted to. He gave interesting facts and shared a bit of history through the entire trip. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to do a trip to Drumheller.
Wonderful trip to drumheller with Jay as driver-guide. Small group in comfortable van. Ample time at attractions. Adequate time for lunch. Amazing area in Southern Alberta.
This tour was wonderful and is an absolute must-go—definitely worth every bit of it! Our guide Raj was fantastic! He was punctual, polite, and extremely sincere. His attentive service and great work attitude made the whole day trip wonderful. Highly recommended!
Tour to Drumheller was very interesting and informative. Our guide Raj was very knowledgeable and provided outstanding background information for all the sites we visited. The museum was the best exhibit of dinosaurs we’ve ever experienced. A day well spent!
Raj was fantastic very knowledgeable and imfomative. We fitted in a lot of experiences yet never felt rushed. Plenty of bathroom breaks. Would highly recommend this tour. It's also perfect for single travelers..
Our knowledgeable guide, Raj, also has a good sense of humour which added to the day. The Royal Tyrrell Museum is magnificent, the Badlands scenery iconic, and the quirky Drumheller vibe came together in a great day out. My personal high moment was seeing the display of fossils of the creatures of the Burgess Shale.
Mike is very friendly and knowledgeable guide. Fully enjoyed the trip.
Great experience with tour operator, conducting small group through the different places arranged for the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Calgary area for Drumheller. Thank you again.
I am impressed with the museum collection. It is a great place to learn prehuman history and evolution timeline.
Excellent guide! Raj is really well inform and funny. Stops are perfectly choose! Warmly recommanded !
A great way to see a lot of smaller tourist locations in one day.
Great tour, Raj out guide great, full of knowledge and good conversation, would recommend. Comfortable and clean vehicle.
Raj was amazing and had great facts and insight about everything we saw. The canyons were amazing and we loved the museum. Thanks again Raj!
Today’s Drumheller trip was absolutely outstanding. The Badlands were breathtaking from the moment we arrived — dramatic hoodoos, sweeping canyons, and landscapes that felt like stepping into another world. Every stop was well‑planned and full of fascinating history and fun photo moments. Our guide made the day exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the area. His stories about the dinosaurs, the geology, and Drumheller’s history brought everything to life. He kept the group engaged, made sure everyone was comfortable, and added thoughtful touches throughout the day that made the experience feel personal and memorable.
I had a wonderful experience on this tour. Raj was a fantastic guide who explained a lot, answered all our questions, and took great care of everyone. The places we visited were breathtaking, making this trip an absolute must-do that is worth every penny. As safety is very important to me, I especially appreciated that he is a skilled and safe driver. I was extremely satisfied with the whole experience and highly recommend it.

It was very interesting. The guide was helpful, competent. The group was frienly. The perfect day.
What a great way to explore the Badlands. Raj was an amazing host who made the trip so much the better. You can tell he is very experienced and genuinely cares that everyone is enjoying themselves. My son loved the Tyrell Museum. I loved that Raj gave us options at that point, to make the most of our time during that part of the tour. I would recommend him to EVERYONE!
Raj was my guide and my experience was amazing. He was so informative provided facts and information through out the trip. It was great day.
Great value for money.. you hit all the must see spots and museum. The guide is super knowledgeable and helpful.
Great set of stops, ran efficiently, great information
Great day out in Albertas prairie and badlands. Lots of interesting stops. Raj was a great guide; nice comfortable van The RoyalTyrell Dino Museum is fantastic!! Exceeded my expectations
Raj was very accommodating and communication was excellent. Great small group tour.
Good day full of activities. Be ready for lots of walking. I was fine as I always walk a lot. Our guide was super organized and pleasant. His name is Raj.
The Tyrell museum is most fascinating collection of dinosaur fossils I have ever seen in my life. Definitely go and get your geek on!
Awesome day trip with our guide, Raj. He’s an excellent driver and informed us on what to expect for the day. Water was provided for everyone. The small van/bus was a little cramped and wish there was more leg room in the back. We especially liked knowing about the history of the area and visiting Wayne’s Fossil Museum as an optional activity. Most of our time of course was the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Bring your own food if you want to maximize your time in the museum as half way through there is the learning center where you can eat your lunch/snack and take a washroom break. We also went to the other Valley to see the Badlands and including Horseshoe and the Horse Thief Canyon. Not too much hiking, but a lot of walking so wear comfortable and sturdy shoes. Full day excursion so plan accordingly. If your visiting during the summer bring a hat, sunscreen and water bottle.
We really enjoyed our day trip to Drumheller with the museum being a standout. The scenery was amazing and our guide Raj was very knowledgeable and gave us plenty of information from the pickup in Calgary through to the end of the tour .
Great day trip! Good thing to go with a guide. Raj our guide did a great job explaining what to expect and some of the history on where we were going. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the ride…
Our tour guide, Raj, was fantastic. The Royal Tyrell Museum was incredible and Horsethief Canyon was stunning. We are so glad that we booked this tour.
Raj was great! He shared so much info about the areas around us along the way to our first stop, throughout the tour and on the way back. He was always standing by to answer questions, we really enjoyed our day! Also important, Raj is a great driver. I'm a terrible passenger anytime, but I never gave it a second thought on this excursion. We've had a busy few days here in Calgary, this was a great, last day tour for us.
Raj does a great job. He’s professional, knowledgeable and complete. No question that you’ll hit all the highlights.
An excellent day out to the badlands and the dinosaur museum. The Royal Tyrrell museum is worth the trip alone, with the badlands scenery awe inspiring. Raj was an excellent host and driver.
Excellent experience . Driver was very knowledgeable and very friendly. He drove safely.
Good Service. Worth the price.
