Guest post by CalgaryWalks co-founder and lead guide, Scott Hello all, What a week it was last week! We hosted the largest "organic" tour (by "organic" we mean it wasn't a large group booking, but rather a bunch of small…
Flowers are blooming, patios are open, and the last traces of snow have finally disappeared; it’s safe to say we survived the ice age. More often than not we toy with ideas that would make-up the perfect summer, but before you know it the warmth has come and gone and you didn’t get to do everything you wanted.
