Calgary: Stephen Avenue, The Bow & Downtown Walk | Gratuity-Based
Overview
Get to know downtown Calgary on foot with a local guide, from the Calgary Tower to the East Village.
Start at our Toonie Tours storefront on 8th Avenue and see the Calgary Tower, then walk Stephen Avenue, the city's historic pedestrian street. Continue past Arts Commons, the Central Library and City Hall to the East Village, with stops at the St. Louis Hotel and the Wonderland sculpture in front of The Bow. Head back through the +15 Skywalk, Calgary's network of indoor walkways, and the Devonian Gardens, an indoor garden in the heart of downtown, before finishing at the Fairmont Palliser and our storefront.
Along the way, your guide shares stories of how Calgary grew and tips on where to eat and what to see during your stay.
