From the moment we arrived we felt like we were visiting family. Josephine and Raghu were incredibly welcoming and helpful, offering us refreshments, genuine conversation and later dinner recommendations with directions. We stayed in the Dublin room which was not only full of history, from the hand done crosses on the bed to the frame itself all the way from Ireland but also very cozy. Josephine is a woman of detail, thoughtfulness, and caregiving towards her guests. Now onto the food which was absolutely fantastic. For breakfast we enjoyed fresh squeezed orange juice, berry panna cotta, and the most amazing egg & green onion croissant sandwich (along with more riveting conversation with Josephine) on beautiful China. The next day when we had to leave early she put together a lovely breakfast to go with some of her homemade muffins. All in all it was the perfect relaxing ending to our stay in Canada and we will definitely come back and recommend to all who visit Calgary.

Jennifer called us and asked where we were and vectored the bus to pick us up along the way. Above and beyond customer service. Jennifer provided great narrative as we made ourselves around the city. This is more than a short downtown tour. We even got to go to the Olympics area west of town and have fabulous views of the Rocky Mountains. We learned about the history of Calgary and even visited the Heritage Park area. Enough time to grab coffee and Saskatoon berry ice cream. It was Stampede and we stopped at an overlook where we could see the whole grounds.

The king sized bed and fluffy pillows were so comfortable, we didn't want to get up, but...breakfast was waiting! Breakfast was lovely - cinnamon silver dollar pancakes with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and real maple syrup. There was also a fresh pot of hot tea and glasses of orange juice. Delicious! The house is in a quieter part of Calgary - in Ramsay - and overlooks the stampede grounds and Saddle Dome. We were in town to see a concert at the BMO Centre on the stampede grounds and were able to walk there in under ten minutes. Micheline is a wonderful hostess, and makes everyone feel welcome. With rates better than any hotel in the city (and with an amazing breakfast to boot!) this is definitely a wonderful home away from home experience! I would definitely recommend the Calgary City View B&B to anyone.

We've visited COP various times over the past few years. We tried luge, sports hall of fame and…read moretoday we took to the snow tube park. I called ahead to inquire and we were directed to overflow parking. Within 7 minutes, a free shuttle picked us up to take us to the main lodge where there was a large line up for tickets. It moved quickly and we had our cards in hand within 15 min. We walked to the tube park to pick up our tubes and used our cards to get through a gate that leads to a walking conveyor sort of like those moving walkways at the airport. The conveyor took us up the hill where 5-6 tube lanes were open each with an attendant. The hardest part is navigating past all the people who bunch up at the first 3 lanes rather than walk a few extra feet to lanes 8 or 9. We asked if they were allowing doubles or triples where we could go down as a family of 3 holding on to each other's tubes, but due to extremely icy conditions and the speed travelled, we were only allowed Single rides. There are black mats to slow you down and bumpers to catch you from crashing at the bottom. We even tried a spin where the attendant will push you with a twist so you'll go the entire way down in a spiral. It was hard to stand up after that, so I only did the spin once! We were there about 2.5-3 hours and were exhausted after 7 runs. Definitely going again!

As the eensiest Skihill in western Canada, Canada Olympic Park (COP) even manages to be located…read morewithin city limits. Like many people who grew up in Calgary, I took lessons here when I was little, and then in 6th grade when everyone went on a ski trip. It felt a lot bigger then. The Park itself is actually pretty comprehensive - the regular runs, the bunny hill, and the board park are just a tiny part of it. They have bobsleds on which you can do bobsled runs, and ski jump towers, and a decent route of cross-country ski trails. The lodge is pretty nice. They have some of the best fries and hot cocoa that I've tried from any ski hill around. The rental shop is decent and fast, and very comprehensive. And the gear shop isn't bad either. They do make their own snow. It isn't unusual to glance over as you drive by and see the snow-makers on at full blast. Made snow packs more easily and gets icy faster, but let's face it: a tumble here isn't going to take you very far. It's obvious just by looking at it that COP is not for seasoned skiiers. There are mountains an hours drive away with countless runs on varied terrain. But that's not what it's supposed to be. It's more of a training hill. This is the place I would take a new skiier or snowboarder or a kid, a place where they would actually enjoy themselves. It's also a good place to go and get some practise runs in if you don't have the time to make it out of the city. So I say: Long Live COP and skiing in Calgary!

For several years it was a family tradition to go to the Carriage House and have the Mother's Day…read moreBrunch Buffet. This year, was our last year as a family to celebrate Mother's Day, and we chose the Carriage House. The decor in the grand ballroom was beautiful the fact they split the two venues to add more availability was good, too. The service for plate takeaway was excellent. However, the food was not. The smoked salmon was very fishy, a little off. The potatoes dry, waffle so hard it darted off my place and the Bennies had a rock hard bottom in two cases. This was despite the fact everything was replenished frequently. The eggs. I've never seen a block of scrambled eggs before, but there it was! And it was as tasteless as it appeared. The two saviours were the lovely orange smoked ham and the crab legs. Dessert would have saved the meal if it tasted as good as it looked. The B52 cheesecakes was sour, the stuffed cream puff dry and tasteless, only the orange pudding saved the dessert. But be prepared, folks, the Carriage House now has security against Dine and Dashers, ominous well dressed young men who look a bit formal, AND an 18% Gratuity on top of the $65.00 per person with no seniors discount. Which is unfortunate because so many families have seniors in their parties these days. Thank you Carriage House for many previous great brunch buffets, sorry to say good bye, we must. 5/2026

I had an amazing week with them horseback riding, white water rafting, biking, hiking, visiting a dog sled camp and taking an ice walk. Every detail I could think of was taken care of and every question I had answered! Heather and Katrina were SO much fun and so knowledgeable! They made the week come alive with their stories about each and every area we visited. In a world where customer service is sometimes lacking, the level of professionalism shown by this agency and the guides it supplies is beyond reproach. I can only hope that any guides I have in the future are as amazing and make my travel and activities so seamless, detailed and wonderful. Thank you Heather and Katrina for an AMAZING and unforgettable week!
