6 Sightseeing Tours in Edmonton That You Shouldn't Miss
As North America’s northernmost large metropolis, Edmonton is a fascinating study in contrasts — a vibrant urban center in the heart of the wilderness. It’s a city that’s never been afraid to do things a little differently, as visitors discover through close encounters with free-roaming bison, a shopping mall that spans more than 48 city blocks, and a dynamic arts and culture scene that embraces more than 40 annual festivals, including the continent’s biggest and wildest Fringe Theatre Festival.

Then we take you on a guided tour. So you are with people you choose (friends, families or business associates). Or all by yourself - if you travel alone. You can stay as long as you like at any stop along the way. And when you're ready, you will be taken back to your hotel or wherever you want to be dropped off. So this is private custom tour guiding.
