What people love about Newfoundland and Labrador Tours for Seniors
- Newfoundland & Labrador 12 Days
Our tour guide, Annette, was FANTASTIC! Best tour guide I've experienced.
This was one of the best tours I have had with Globus, and I have done many! James, the tour director, and Clarence, the driver were fantastic. They were very helpful, kind, funny, and informative. Globus says up front that some of the accommodations may not be up to their usual standards because of the remoteness of the locations, but all were very clean with friendly staff. A lot of ground was covered and a lot was included with this tour: a ferry ride plus three different boat excursions. No complaints!
