The tour director we had was very good and professional. The trip was very nice and the hotels were good also.

Before booking this trip, I narrowed the choices down to four trips. I then let the person I was traveling with make the final decision. I knew going into the trip that it was not my type of trip. I want a trip with breakfasts included, more included tours and more optional tours. The one negative experience is there were two free days in Montreal with an optional day trip for one of the days. I could not go on that trip because it did not return until 6:00 pm and the train left at 5:00 pm. for Halifax. I was upset about this because I did not know about it ahead of time and ended up in Montreal with two days on my own - not my kind of travel.
