Ottawa Explorer Trips

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.

This was one of the best holidays we have had in a long time. Canada was amazing and well worth the visit, and this trip gave us a good opportunity to get to know the country. The itinerary was excellent and well planned. All opportunities to visit the best areas and sights were maximised. The tour guide, Laurel and our tour bus driver, Ron were excellent company and professional at all times. The only disappointment of the whole trip was the Brock Hotel, Niagara. Whilst the hotel had recently undergone a refurbishment, it had been done with lack of best use of space i.e. very small badly laid out bathroom, and old noisy air conditioning as just a couple of the several niggles with the room. All other hotels were excellent, and one night at the Brock did not spoil the overall trip.

Really enjoyed the trip. and (bus driver) went out of their way to make the vacation informative and interesting. The hotels and rooms we were allocated were excellent, apart from our hotel situated at Niagra Falla (The Brock), the bathroom was quite small and the toilet was difficult to negotiate, in between the basin and shower. Overall the holiday was very enjoyable and we would definately book with Trefalgar again. Again i must stress the professionalism of both our guide and our excellent driver.

1. First night dinner at the Toronto hotel conference room, the dinner rolls were cold in the center. 2. Since we were having breakfast two days in the row at the Toronto hotel, they should change one or two items on their buffet (even though it was in the conference room). 3. The room in the Brocks Hotel in Niagara Falls were old and very tight. Maybe try switching it to the Sheraton next door. 4. Just a suggestion for the tour director - Most of the travelers are 70 and above. When informing them about the time to meet etc., maybe make announcements many times (besides sending out emails). Also, telling them to download pictures in a google drive might not be easy for some of them. Overall, it was an excellent tour. The tour director and tour bus driver worked very well together. Kudos to the tour bus driver for our safe travel.

The tours of Toronto, Ottawa, Quebec and Montreal were brilliant. However the trip to the Ice Hockey Stadium was a waste of time and I am an ice hockey fan. It would have been better to go straight to Niagara, done the boat ride at the falls and then straight on to the next destination. The night at the Hotel Brock was the noisiest hotel stay I have ever had and I regularly stay in Hilton Hotels in Europe. It would appear that hotels in Canada need to catch up with the rest of the world. There are such products as Chicken and Turkey sausages and Turkey bacon available for a reason.
