Overview of your Calgary tour:

My love for Calgary will come to light, when we are walking on a cultural experience through the city of Calgary in Alberta. Starting out in the historic part of downtown. The OLD and the NEW come alive along our walk. Furthermore you will enjoy to learn about the art, history, gastronomy, nature the cultural traditions, first nations culture and architecture highlights Calgary has to offer. This walking tour will also take you to the core of downtown, introduces you to the history and parts of Chinatown and to the Bow River. The word Indian came from the assumption that Christopher Columbus discovered the New world. But on his attempt to find East Asia (1492) his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean brought him the Bahamas . He visited places in Central America and called the first sightings of humans Indians, thinking he was in India. North America was discovered by Jacques Cartier around 1542. It will be my pleasure to have you as my customer and please look over the itinerary for the 3 hour walk.
