Feedback from guests whose tour started in/around Ottawa during August.
Frances M. | Traveled in August
Trip was a lot of fun . Quebec City and Niagara Falls were my favorite cities. I really enjoyed the lunch at the winery and the stop at the Big Apple. The suppers we went to on the island and on our last night were so much fun. The tour guide, *personal info removed by Feefo* and *personal info removed by Feefo* the bus driver made it all so enjoyable. Thanks Trafalgar

Well contructed in things to see and experience - sights, Canadian history, exploration of cities - different cities in their own way. Chance to meet First Nation Canadians and their culture. To 'experience' ice hockey.
Lena | Traveled in August
Having some free time, I indulged in a bit of shopping at Lululemon and other intriguing stores. What I truly appreciated was the flexibility in our meal planning. It wasn't a rigid schedule, allowing me to adjust my meals according to my appetite and budget, giving me a sense of control.

I was a bit disappointed that when you pay extra money for food, mostly breakfast that hot chocolates aren't provided. When I was in Quebec City I asked the waitress when she came to take my order if they did hot chocolates, I got told yes but that was extra. A hot drink should be provided for breakfast regardless of if someone drinks tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
