Historic Canada Adventure. Although our tour manager Aaron Scuff had not led this tour before and had short notice to lead us, he did a wonderful job. He had done his homework on the area and our bus driver Ron was awesome. He got us everywhere on schedule, avoiding accidents, road closures and terrible weather. He was able to compliment Aaron in so many ways with his local knowledge. Hotel choices and included excursions were great. The tour manager and bus drivers were top notch. I would have liked to spend more time in Ottawa, I think there was much more to do there than the half day of free time we had. And of course Quebec City was awesome, one can maybe not get enough time there. I think there was enough variety to satisfy most people, there were things that didn't hold much interest to me, but then I went for the history.

Waterfalls, Olympic cities and French culture, oh Canada.. It’s perfect the way it is. The TDs are always courteous, accommodating and with a good sense of humor. Much appreciated. Also very caring with the senior and needy senior travelers. To be clear about the returning trip from Montreal. The bus ride was too long for some of us. We could have made flights from Montreal instead of Toronto. But otherwise good. The TD was quite entertaining and kept us engaged all the time. We had enough free time to explore sites on our own and we appreciated the 2 nights stay in the hotels instead of one. Lovely hotels all around. Perhaps this itinerary should run one way only. Running from Toronto to Montreal to Quebec. That would be lovely.

Cities, Nature, Culture, Food! Kept our group well-informed and on time. A great way to familiarize yourself with major Eastern Canadian cities … Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec City, and Montreal. Canada is such a welcoming country! And they show a true respect for their First Nation people and the diverse population that Canada is home to. The hockey experience was a fun and unique way to learn about the sport.

An excellent introduction to Eastern Canada. Plenty of information about our itinerary prior to our trip which was helpful. Once there, our Tour Director set up a WhatsApp group with daily detailed information plus she emailed a daily overview of the days events, useful then and now a great reminder of our travels. This was an excellent tour, an introduction to Canada for us and we will return! We had an excellent Tour Director and driver who worked very hard to ensure we all got the most from our holiday. Niagara Falls were obviously a highlight but each city gave us something different to remember. The optional extra tours were also well worth doing and enhanced the trip.

First class Canadian experience. Very good service throughout. A well managed highlights tour. Our TD and driver were always on hand to provide help if needed, in a friendly way. Nothing was too much trouble for them. It was well conceived to give a taste of Eastern Canada. We were fortunate in our TD and driver who made the whole experience enlightening and fun.

Fun in Eastern Canada. As someone with too many food restrictions, I cannot the Trafalgar and Tour Director Lori Bodkin enough for making sure I always found something to eat. The bus was comfortable and our driver, Gus, was great at keeping us safe, adapting to the changing road and traffic conditions and offering a friendly hand whenever we needed one. The itinerary has something for everyone from hockey to waterfalls, shopping at unique places and cultural experiences.
