Both were funny and knowledgable, we enjoyed the tour very much. I think we learned a lot about the local history in combination with the stunning viewpoints they showed us - especially the out of the town ones …Written 24 September 2023
- Michael B0 contributionsAwesome way to see country. Better than a bus.We had an awesome day. A great way to see the rocky foothills around Calgary. Four of us went. Drivers were very personable. The narration via the Helmut worked perfectly. Pick up was right on time. If you are cold blooded I would highly recommend dressing in layers. It was cold for some in our party even though Temps were above 80.Written 20 July 2023
- lisac59150 contributionsBest tour ever!Best tour ever! I was initially a little apprehensive; I'm not a biker nor am I in the first flushes of youth, but the sidecars were safe and comfortable! The guides were friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The tour was excellent and was a brilliant way to see parts of Calgary that we had previously missed. We will definitely be back to try the other tours next time we're in Canada!Written 13 July 2023
- goodfoodlover520 contributionsFun, Informative and well organisedWe chose this tour because we wanted to have a fun and informative activity during our short stay in Calgary. We were very happy with the whole experience, from the time of booking until the conclusion of our tour, and would not hesitate to recommend Rocky Mountain Sidecar Adventures for anyone wanting to do something a little different during their visit.Written 9 July 2023
- suemM9504NB0 contributionsAmazingAbsolutely brilliant, loved every minute. I would highly recommend taking this tour. It was easy to book online and I was picked up and dropped off in Downtown.Written 17 June 2023
- MikeO980 contributionsWhat a hoot!!The Sidecar Tour of Calgary was better than we hoped for. Not only was it fun being driven around the city and nearby neighborhoods in a low slung sidecar (which felt completely safe), but our drivers were so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. Yes, the cost for the tour might initially scare some people off, but for us, it was a fantastic value. And as out-of-town tourist, this tour really brightened our impression of Calgary overall. Zoom, zoom!!Written 19 September 2022
- Barbara N0 contributionsWe highly recommend this sidecar adventure especially for seniors like us! Great job, Brian & Lars!Guys had vast knowledge of city. Loved the views from posh neighborhoods. Very comfortable ride. Our 1st sidecar tour.Written 3 September 2022
- Caitlin M0 contributionsAMAZING Calgary TourNicole was truly AMAZING. This was the BEST tour of Calgary I could have even imagined. You feel totally safe in the sidecar and you’re able to communicate with the driver through the headset. Nicole was knowledgeable and friendly. It was a blast and took some great pictures and learned a lot!Written 10 August 2022
- Norfolk12sue0 contributionsFun way to see Calgary !We wanted to do a tour of Calgary & when we saw the motorcycle side car tour we thought it would be something different & fun way to see Calgary. And it certainly was! We enjoyed every minute. The sidecars were comfy & we felt v safe at all times. Our drivers (sorry I’ve forgotten names) were friendly and knowledgeable. We could all talk together through the headphones & microphones. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience!Written 22 July 2022
- 129teresat0 contributionsdisappointingWell, I guess after seeing the rockies for the last week, I was disappointed with the rolling hills.... the sidecar was pretty cool to be in, and the drivers had stories and info about the area. But nothing in the adventure to say... Wow. It felt like we just drove in the foothills with no adventure. They said get your cameras ready to take a picture of each other.... so we did. So I got my phone out to take a picture, then we drove around the corner thru water and got soaking wet.... and so did my phone. Then it was my husbands turn and they did the same thing... soaking wet. What the heck? On Sept 11 at 18 degrees. Not a good choice on their part. Then drove another 40 minutes or so, wet. A good review was that they were accommodating with the weather and they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.Written 21 September 2021
- N7704VElaurau0 contributionsFantastic way to see the city.Worth every penny and my kids loved it! I wanted my teen boys to do a City of Calgary sightseeing tour but knew traditional type tours would just be boring for them. This is definitely the way to go.Written 21 July 2021
- soniabK6488OG0 contributionsExcellent sidecar adventure!My husband and I asked for a custom tour of downtown Calgary and the surrounding country-side. The tour guides arrived promptly, were very hospitable and personable. They reviewed the COVID safety precautions and even provided neck warmers for added protection. They were knowledgeable about the area and the motorcycles, as we asked lots of questions about both! We had a wonderful time exploring in the side car and felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole trip. We would highly recommend this tour company for anyone!Written 2 September 2020

What an amazing day! If you do one tour in Calgary- make it this one. I cant thank Nicole and Lars enough. What a great way to see the city and all the way up to kananaskis. Amazing views, such lovely/ knowledgeful and passionate people. We went to the distillery which is incredible and has great food and drinks (and merch). It really is a special day and the sidecars are so comfy! Thank you both so much. We will cherish the memories and pictures forever.

I was visiting Calgary for the first time and wanted to do something unique. After searching online I came across the High Spirits Adventure via Sidecar and figured I would give it a shot.
It was a true adventure. I rode with Nicole. She was an amazing guide. She made sure everything was safe. They have a communication system built into the helmets. So I was able to cleary communicate with her. Her knowledge of Calgary is amazing. You can tell she is a teacher..with her ability to explain anything to anyone. We stopped and some really cool places, and even had a nice lunch. Next time I'm in Calgary I'm booking with Nicole and Warren for another adventure.
