What people love about Canadian Maritimes Provinces Tours for Seniors
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Name Tags for fellow travellers would have been very helpful. Also, booking us all into places with queen and king beds would be much more restful for us who like to share a bed.
- Canadian Maritimes Adventure
Overall, the Canadian Maritime Adventure was very good. We had a great tour director and bus driver that made the trip very pleasant. We felt very welcomed by the kind Canadians and loved all the lobster dinners. Our trip included many great adventures and explorations including Hopewell Rocks, whale watching, Green Gables Heritage Place, Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site, Fairview Lawn Cemetary (Titanic victims) and our favorite, Pegg's Cove Lighthouse. We felt some improvements could be made in the accommodations including Ceilidh County Lodge (worst place we have ever stayed in), the long bus rides and uncomfortable bus. We felt the price was reasonable for the trip, but airfare was very expensive. Also, only breakfast was included so you had to find lunch and dinner on your own which added to the cost. Some of the hotels were far from restaurants and you needed to walk or take taxis to access. We did enjoy our time in that part of Canada and left with great memories.
- Landscapes of the Canadian Maritimes (Classic)
A very good tour, well constructed and excellent attention from the tour director and coach driver.
