- Canadian Maritimes and Coastal Wonders featuring the Cabot Trail (2026)
The tour was excellent!! The tour manager Darren Stone and the coach operator Jim were the best. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and respectful. The other tour members were great. No issues(that I'm aware of). Hotels were well chosen. Loved the choice of destinations.
- Nova Scotia, Prince Edward & Cape Breton - 8 days
One night we saw the Green Gables musical. It was great but didn’t end till after 10 pm. We had to walk a couple of blocks back to hotel, scheduled to eat breakfast at 6:30 and suitcases out by 7. That didn’t give us much time to sleep.
