What people are saying about Edmonton

Overall rating

4.7 / 5

based on 51 reviews

After purchase, the download code for the app came by email after 12 hours (not 24 hours as described in the text). Installation with it worked fine. On the road, I used the app on most journeys. Everything worked well here too - the information came to the right places and the digressions were a great podcast replacement. Overall was very satisfied.

Norah was terrific. Took us around town; many stops to see sites and learn about the city. It was a good time and we appreciated her taking us round about many of the locales I wanted to check out.

Outstanding tour and lesson. Definitely add time if you are able to extend your time and talents on the Segway. Loved it for a 59 yr old woman. No problem.

My experience was great! Our instructor was excellent and the weather was very good.

It’s a really good way to get to know the city by a local point of view…
