ABOUT THE
Free Walking Tour Calgary
This 3-hour Free Walking Tour of Calgary will connect you to the city through the eyes of a local guide.
Together we will walk through Calgary, learning about the city and the province, and how they fit into Canada. We will meet local legends and discover the many notable establishments along the way. The tour is filled with recommendations & tips to ensure you get the most out of your trip to the city!
Your Free Walking Tour of Calgary starts at the Calgary Tower and ends in the same location. Navigating alone through the downtown core of Calgary can be intimidating. Without a guide, you never know how many local hangouts and specialties you’re missing. That’s why Toonie Tours Calgary is excited to lead the way and connect you to the past, present, and future of the city.
From First Nation Settlement to Canadian Pacific Railway Headquarters
Your local Toonie Tours guide will make Calgary’s exciting history come alive. We will walk past iconic sites like Steven Avenue, the King Eddy, Central Library, and many more. You’ll learn about Calgary’s rich and impressive First Nations history and discover how the city grew and changed to become the urban metropolis it is today.
Canada’s Rodeo Town on the Prairies
Calgary is a popular destination as a gateway to the tremendous wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. Your free city walking tour will advise you how best to enjoy Calgary and Canada with recommendations for food, entertainment, daytrips, nightlife, nature, and more. Must-do experiences can also be booked through your guide at a discount, and if you want to explore the depths of the area, you can spend more time with the Free Walking Tour ‘afterparty’ on our Street Art & Craft Beer Tour.
