First of all, I would like to thank Petar for a fantastic memory that I and my friend made from this tour. Since it was winter, I knew that everything had been frozen or covered with snow. However, Petar's kind and detailed explanation about the spots made this tour perfect. The best part of the tour was learning the history of Calgary. Though English is not my first language, I could understand well because he spoke slowly and clearly for us. Thank you so much for the lovely day that I spent in Calgary and also for the nice photos taken by a good camera.
I strongly recommend this tour for the tourists who are looking for the best Calgary/Banff tour.
1. reasonable price
2. small group
3. 1-day Banff tour
4. pick-up&drop-off service in Calgary
5. visit Lake Louise, Banff Town and ride on Banff Gondola
혹시라도 한국어로 된 후기를 찾고계실 한국인분들을 위해서 추가할게요.
소규모로 깔끔한 차량을 타고 원하는 곳에 방문하고 싶으시면 이 투어 추천드립니다.
가이드님 정말정말 친절하시고 사진 찍고 바로 차에 탑승하는 그런 바쁜 투어가 아니라서 좋았어요.
저도 처음에는 한국인 가이드분들이 진행하시는 투어 많이 검색해봤는데 가격 차이가 꽤 나더라구요 ㅠㅠ 물론 각각의 장단점이 있겠지만 어느정도 영어를 하실 수 있는 분이라면 무리 없이 즐길 수 있는 투어라고 생각합니다.
밴프 곤돌라는 원하는 경우에 추가하는 일정이라 점심을 거르고 다녀와야하나 걱정했는데 미리 말씀드렸더니 밥 먹고 밴프타운도 둘러볼 시간을 가진 후에 곤돌라 탑승장으로 데려다 주셨어요! 올라가서 충분히 구경하고 사진도 찍고 천천히 내려오라고 기다려주셔서 정말 감사했습니다. 개인적으로 밴프 곤돌라는 꼭 타보시길 추천드려요. 하루종일 본 록키산맥이지만 위에 올라가서 전체적인 풍경을 내려다보면 또 다른 아름다움을 느낄 수 있어요.
가이드님한테 스테이크 레스토랑 추천받아서 투어 끝나고 식당 앞에 내려달라고 말씀드리면 정말 맛있는 인생 스테이크를 즐기실 수 있습니다. 캘거리 소,, 맛이 달라요 진짜 부드러워요
당연한 이야기지만 광고 아니고 내돈내산입니다 ㅎㅎ

We had a private Drumheller Badlands tour with Petar and it was excellent. It was our child's dream to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum and Petar ensured that we had the right amount of time to visit the museum. Petar was very knowledgeable about all the places we visited on our tour and the guidebooks he had on hand about birds/animals of Alberta came in handy along our journey. Petar is a very good driver and the vehicle we travelled in was very clean. The pick-up and drop-off was very convenient (at our downtown Calgary hotel) and the tour progressed exactly as we expected, with the flexibility we needed to add a bit more time at the Royal Tyrrell Museum. We enjoyed all the places we visited in and around Drumheller. We travelled when there was a fair bit of smoke in the air from the Alberta wildfires but the views still wowed us. We would love to return to the area in a few years to see all the spectacular views in clearer weather. Our whole family highly recommends the Drumheller Badlands tour and we're sure that any tour with Petar as guide would be incredible! We thought our tour offered great value for the high quality and personalized experience we received.

I would like to thank Petar for such a wonderful trip he had planned for us (me and my wife). Petar has been flexible throughout our journey and did not feel like we have been traveling together for the very first time. He is knowledgeable and holds good insights about Calgary history/geography. I am amazed with his humbleness and smile that he threw on us even at the end of trip as I was too tired :).
Peter accompanied us across the trip to make sure that we are comfortable and do not run into any sort of problem. Our ride was clean, maintained and well equipped with essentials.
We are looking forward to our future trips with Petar. He's has been amazing!

We did the one-day Rocky Mountains and Badlands tours and enjoyed them both immensely. While some of the attractions around Drumheller were closed for the season, the stunning winter landscapes more than made up for it, and seeing the sun coming up while standing on the frozen Ghost Lake on the way to Banff was a highlight of our holiday. Petar is an excellent guide - he was super friendly and knowledgeable and the small group format meant he could go out of his way to make sure we got the most from our days.

I would like to give a thanks to Petar from Hammerhead Scenic Tours. My family was visiting Calgary in July 2022 for the first time. We booked 2 tours with Petar and have nothing but great appreciation for all he done and shown us. Definitely a 5 star tour as he has shown nothing but kindness, patience going above and beyond expectations. He is friendly, caring individual with a big heart and a very knowledgeable tour guide that we have have ever experience he knows his stuff and his a very professional. I would highly recommend booking him as your guide as you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Petar from the Neal/ Miller family

Just had a great private trip to Drumheller Badlands including a visit to the Royal Tyrrell Museum. Petar (Hammerhead Scenic Tours) did the driving and provided a very informative commentary as we travelled.
Also very kindly made diversions for me to look at various bird watching spots. I should mention the trip was arranged originally for 2020 and paid for but Covid intervened . Petar willingly transferred our booking to 2022 without further charge.
A really memorable day

Hi,
My wife and I are planning a trip to Calgary next July 2018. We are wondering what the weather will be like and what we need to prepare/bring with.
Thank you!

Hello Linh,
The nice person above from Medford, New York already give you some idea what to prepare/bring with and very important is sunglasses and sunscreen. Weather in July is wormer then in September. It's dry, pretty stable and I would say in mid and high 20's (Celsius) and sometimes goes over 30's. The best is to follow Calgary weather forecast.
Hope you going to enjoy your time in Calgary.
All the best.
Petar with Hammerhead Scenic Tours Ltd.
Hello Peter,
What are you offering during the 1st week of november 2016 ?
We'd like to spend a day around the city and/or out in the wild to see things you have to see when you are not from Calgary.
I'm from Montreal and my wife is from Brazil so we are up for mostly anything.
Give me an avrage cost of a day with you guys
Thanks
Steve

In general, how long are your tours? We will be staying at the International Hotel in Calgary and only have an afternoon. Are there any tours in the afternoons?
Petar O
Calgary, Canada15 contributions
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in our service.
In general, our One Day Tours are between 9 and 11 hours long and start at 7:00 am
Calgary City is Half Day Tour and it's between 3 and 3.5 hours long and start at 8:30 am.
International Hotel is one of pick-up places in downtown of Calgary.
We are sorry to inform you, we have nothing to offer in the afternoon.
Calgary afternoon traffic (Rush Hour) is pretty bad, so nobody realy likes to be in bumper to bumper traffic.
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind Regards and all the best
Petar
