The 10 Best Tours in Winnipeg, Canada

November 19, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Any city that can be the butt of a Simpson's joke ("That's it! We're all going back to Winnipeg!") and simultaneously one of the most vibrant cultural centers in Canada is tops in our book. The city's history of isolation and self-sufficiency means that Winnipeggers are unpretentious and sincere (and fun-loving enough to name Homer an honorary citizen). Though the winters are long and cold, there are plenty of indoor activities to both keep you warm and stimulate your imagination.

I thoroughly enjoyed my walking tour of Calgary. The tour guide was very easy to chat with and made the experience that much entertaining. We stopped at some nice locations and took some memorable pictures. He also provided some nice stories of the area and history of Calgary. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours and saw a lot of the city. I would definitely recommend this to my friends.
