The sights visited were outstanding and certainly enhanced given the excellent weather. The pick up at airport was finally accomplished as we had no idea which hotel we were to travel to. Hotels were adequate though we changed many times. Our bus guide was excellent and kind to us because we were only one of two couples that spoke English. He had to translate also in Mandarin and Cantonese as 80% or more were Chinese or Indian and seemed to be traveling as friends making us feel excluded. We lived aboard 15 years traveling the world for 50 plus years so we have always been been inclusive of ethnic diversity. I felt they too were rude to the guide who was being very patient. Kudos to him!
5-Day Canadian Rockies Tour from Calgary: Banff, Yoho, Columbia Icefield & Waterton National ParksThe tour director Amani was excellent, knowledgeable and time managing ladies. Shaun was also excellent, smooth driver, pay attention to elderly traveler who get on and off the bus. The local tour guide in Quebec city was excellent and knowledgeable, clear explaining about each tour sight. The local tour guide in Montreal has a strong accent in English, did not provided clear and important information, it is difficult to understand what she was saying exactly. This hotel in Quebec city is located far from the city centre and is in the middle of a huge construction site. Please consider hotel location is close to old town of Quebec city where convenient and easy tour for potential traveler. Some days, it is not necessary to departure from the hotel at early morning since we had enough time, especially on the days go to Nigara Falls. The Quebec city, Ottawa and Nigara fall are worth to visit.
