What people love about touring Eastern Canada solo
- Canadian Capitals
The itinerary was well-planned. There were many long drives, but the group I travelled with made it fun and lively. Louis (tour manager) was very knowledgeable and helpful. The driver was skilful and friendly. The tour guides engaged for the city tour in Quebec and Toronto were not engaging and did not share much information. The Montréal City tour guide was good. The hotels were generally good. The hotel in Montreal was very old, felt creepy and the flooring had stains and holes. The hotel in Ottawa, Quebec and Toronto were good.
- Taste of the Maritimes
Very good tour. Excellent guide (Karen). So knowledgeable and entertaining too. Itinerary had to be tweaked unfortunately, as there was no theatre production in Charlottetown. But a fair substitute was found. All in all a great, stress free way to see this beautiful part of the country.
- Wonders of the Bay of Fundy
A very enjoyable experience.
