What people love about touring Eastern Canada solo
- Taste of the Maritimes
The tour director is knowledgeable and the driver is nice. The Ross hotel is not nice and rude to the customers
- Enchanting Islands
A very enjoyable trip. The tour director and bus driver where very knowledgeable. Accommodations very nice and the included meals were excellent.
- Highlights of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
Local guides were good. Information was very informative. One hotel we stayed in Bangor was way too far from restaurants and attractions. It would have been nice to have more meals included.
