COMPANION TOURS
 | Calgary Downtown Walking TourEvery building tells a story. Calgary’s downtown spins a yarn of a brash frontier town that has grown into a lively urban center. Walk with us (outside as weather permits – or inside using our +15 Skywalk network) as we straddle with one foot in the past and one in the present, following a “ribbon of steel” through the heart of the city.As your tour guide navigates around such areas as Stephen Avenue Mall (no cars allowed 6 am to 6 pm), the Bow River Pathway, and other downtown areas, you’ll have an on-the-ground experience that Google Earth could never deliver. You’ll learn where Calgarians go for fine food and dining and discover where some favourite spots to shop in downtown are located. We’ll even talk about accessing free public transit in the downtown core to make your own exploring more enjoyable. You may hear the echoes of history at the site of an 1880’s sawmill and the location of the 1988 Winter Olympics awards ceremonies – and perhaps modern day music from the Folk Fest held at Prince’s Island Park. Your tour guide will lead the group at a comfortable pace and make several stops, including bathroom breaks as needed.
