Guide #66117
Howdy, my name is Rob Lennard, known across Canada as "Alberta's History Wrangler". I am passionate about showing tourists from around the world the great places to visit in southern Alberta, including the majestic Rocky Mountains, and The Cowboy Trail (where the show Heartland is filmed). I also hope you allow me to show you Dinosaurs in Drumheller, Indigenous historic spots and the great city of Calgary as a whole, home of the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics and The Calgary Stampede, known as "The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth". Speaking of which, I have had the joy of performing in 8 Calgary Stampedes and in the Opening Ceremonies of the Calgary Winter Olympics! Next, I have been referred to by Global News Television as "Alberta's Walking Encyclopedia" and apart from conducting tours, I am the historian at the historic Bow Valley Ranche, the Ambassador of the Cowboy Trail and producer of The History Wrangler Show that is seen across Canada on The Cowboy Channel. I am also an award winning singer/songwriter who writes upbeat historical based songs, as well as an author who wrote a best selling book for the Calgary Stampede Centennial. A signed copy of this book is given to each wonderful group that I tour. Finally, I bring my guitar along on my tours which further adds to my one-of-a-kind tour experience. Awards/Accolades received for writing, singing and sharing Alberta history include the following: Alberta Centennial Medal Alberta Heritage Awareness Award Governor General of Canada Sovereign Medal City of Calgary. Award for Heritage Vice Regal Commendation Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee Medal Nominated for: King Charles Coronation Medal Medical Training: Advanced Medical Certificate. Number of countries visited: 38 and counting.

Thank you very much for your message Steven and it was an absolute joy spending the day with you and your wonderful wife! Warmest wishes and "Happy Trails" Rob
Rob is a great guide - very passionate and knowledgeable about local history, and accommodating to the needs of the group. We got to see some beautiful sites in downtown Calgary that we would have missed doing it on our own.

I was in Calgary for one day before heading off to Banff and was going to be in town for the Calgary Stampede. I contacted Rob who was super excited about the prospect of showing me around the city and explaining the stampede to me. While booking tickets for the event, he went out of his way to ensure that I booked seats that had a good view and shade (very important!)....
