Halifax Tours and Trips

A very active tour with deadlines to meet for ferries and docents. We learned a lot about the history of the provinces, its indigenous people and those who later settled there. The scenery is spectacular and our tour guide kept everything on schedule.

This is a great itinerary especially when presented by a very capable "Tour Director" & a very capable motor coach driver. They were a great team, kept us organized, on time always while always having a good time. In addition to all on our itinerary we had songs, snacks, movies and games as we traveled from place to place. As usual the Trafalgar team put together a memorable trip.

The itinerary was very thorough and interesting. But unlike other Insight trips, there were no extra excursions offered, probably due to the packed itinerary. As a historian, I was disappointed that there was no opportunity to visit Fort Louisbourg, a critical location during the French and Indian War. Nor did anyone offer to help me make this excursion a possibility. Des;pite this disappointment, the overall Maritime Provinces experience was a positive one. Also, our guide was quite good. My advice would be to incorporate the visit to the Fort as part of the trip and possibly cut one day off of Prince Edward Island. One other comment: we have been on 5 Insight trips, and on this particular one we had to pay for the most non-included suppers ever.

The itinerary provided an opportunity to see and experience a good variety of landscapes, cities, small towns and harbors. The local guides who led walking tours were exceptional and the speakers at various sites were colorful and very interesting.

The tour covered all the key sights of the maritimes The tour director and driver were excellent even when they had to make changes to the itinerary due to seasonal restrictions

The itinerary was well planned out. We enjoyed all our stops. Not sure why we stopped at PEI Perseve. Seemed out of our way, and the food was not that good.
