Compared with some tours I have been on this tour was magic The places visited the Autumn colour and the great local guides driver and Director made it a success There was no friction with the driver or directors not even between passengers.
Eastern US & Canada Grand VacationEverything was great and very easy. Would definitely recommend
The Grand EastThere was never a formal introduction from the director nor an introduction of about the driver. Timings were vague and so one one person's twenty minutes was very different from anothers ..this resulted in wasted time waiting for people to arrive. Very little information was provided especially when a specific question was asked...ie: what is in the museum....? The response was ' nothing much'! Should have been an outstanding trip!!
