What people love about Canadian Maritimes Provinces Tours for Seniors
- Canadian Maritimes and Coastal Wonders featuring the Cabot Trail (2026)
I had a great experience on this Colette tour with Bernadette and Dave. They were excellent guides and drivers, and the tour was well-organized. I would recommend it.
- Landscapes of the Canadian Maritimes (Classic)
Great scenery, tour director, coach driver, local expert guides. Lots to see and do. Includes some stays in somewhat remote locations, so ok but not great. Others in Halifax, Charlottetown, Digby were very nice. Itinerary is jamb packed. Often terrain is hilly, so challenging for those which find walking difficult. Fun trip overall!
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Fantastic trip. Well organised and friendly, approachable staff. Was so easy to see so much more than we could have organised on our own. Met some lovely people. So much fun! Will definitely do a tour again and highly recommend.
