About Alberta Tours

Bordered by the Canadian Rockies, located in the heart of Western Canada, there’s so much beauty to see in Alberta. Tours are popular year round because of the stunning scenery of the summer and spectacular skiing in the winter. Alberta offers world-renowned resort towns such as Banff (hot springs!), Lake Louise and Jasper (great skiing). Here you’ll find accommodations to suit everyone from budget to luxury.

Alberta is home to five of the 16 Canadian UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among the more popular is the Dinosaur Provincial Park located in the Badlands of Alberta. It is the home to bone beds dating back some 75 million years.

A tour of Alberta should include two major cities, Calgary and Edmonton.

Things to do in Calgary

• Festivals: The city’s music and cultural festivals are a must. Visit during the 10-day party surrounding the “Calgary Stampede,” held each July. It is one of the highest paying rodeos in the world awarding more than $2 million in prizes!
 
• Family-friendly attractions: Calgary offers day trips for the whole family, from tracking dinosaurs to riding a steam train and visiting penguins—all in the same day!
 
• Nightlife: Paint the town red, and get ready to get rowdy! From chic lounge bars to cowboy stampedes, it’s all about good times with beers and cheers. Calgary also offers a wealth of concert halls, galleries and theatres.

Things to do in Edmonton

One of the most popular things to do in Edmonton is to visit the West Edmonton Mall, the largest shopping complex in North America, featuring more than 800 stores, a themed hotel, a water park and skating rink.
