Montreal Tours and Trips

Tour guide and bus driver were excellent. Most tours were informative and enjoyable. Didn’t care for the trip to the indigenous farm - lots of talking in a room with poor acoustics. Enjoyed Niagara Falls but walk was more vigorous than we expected. Really liked the maple syrup farm and our group dinners.

Everything about the tour was great. The coach was a tad bit uncomfortable. A little more time at each city to see the sites as opposed to driving by them would have been nice. Given the time constraints, I felt is was a good trip.

The entire tour was very comfortable, educational, beautiful and amazing. Although our age slowed us down towards the end of the tour the excursions were made extremely interesting and informative by our extremely knowledgeable guide. Julie was great beyond words. Eugene was a very knowledgeable driver. He handled the new bus with precision and great care. It was a pleasure to have a bus with seat belts as well as the other amenities available to us as we merrily rolled through the countryside and the extremely interesting old cities. George and I truly enjoyed ourselves and would do the trip again as well as recommend the trip to others. One negative issue I experienced was the lack of safety rails and clothes hooks in all of the bathrooms. Whoever designed the remodeling apparently didn’t have any experience with handicapped persons or senior citizens. Thank you to everyone at Collette but especially Eugene and Julie for providing us with a wonderful experience. Anne and George Tunnell

Some of the tours were kind of ho hum. Others were very good. The native homestead tour was below par. There is potential there but needs development. The speaker was very good. Hotels were excellent to average. Breakfasts were all good except at the Lord Elgin Hotel. Very average and fruit way below average there. City tours, Niagara Falls, and the Maple Syrup Sugar Shack excursions were very good. Roger the tour guide was excellent. I liked the assigned rotating seats arrangement he used as did others on the tour.

We had bad weather the whole tour (cold, cloudy, and misty). Our tour manager had to fill in for someone else and knew very little about Canada. Fortunately, our bus driver who was a native of Canada and knowledgeable about this particular tour, helped her immensely. It was not her fault, and under the circumstances, she did great!

The tour, hotels, and guide were OUTSTANDING. The Collette-provided air travel arrangements were HORRIBLE. Routing and layovers were HORRIBLE. Had I the slightest idea in advance I would have booked my own air travel.
