Toronto Tours and Trips

Anyone considering going on this trip needs to think about why they are going. If it is for wildlife eg. birds, they need to investigate the best time of the year to go, taking migration into account etc. I had a wonderful time on this trip. Whilst the wildlife were not particularly co-operative, or the weather, the Expedition Team did their best at all times to fulfil the itinerary and give us the best opportunity to see the expected wild life. Whilst many whales were missing, we had the unusual bonus of seeing six Polar Bears and 17 Narwhals! You win some, you lose some! The M/V Greg Mortimer is an impressive ship, keeping the rocking and rolling across Baffin Bay, to a minimum. Inside it is extremely comfortable, all the 'hotel' staff are friendly and very professional. The rooms were kept spotless and serviced twice a day. There was a very large choice of good food at all meals. Two meals are buffet and the evening dinner, a served meal. The lectures on board, given by members of the Expedition Team and some guest lecturers, were linked to the programme and additional ones added where particular interest was shown by passengers. They were of a high standard. I am very happy to recommend this trip to those who are prepared to be flexible, both with the itinerary and daily programme. One day we started on Plan A and ended on Plan E thanks to the weather! It should not be considered as a cruise but a truly exploratory trip, getting into zodiacs a couple of times a day to go and get close up views of icebergs, bird nesting cliffs, glaciers: anything that may be of interest.

It would have been helpful if the tour director had maps available, especially in the big cities. Would have liked more time at Niagara on the Lake and Kingston. An optional trip to Ste Anne de Beaupre in Quebec might be nice. The hotels were all excellent!! The copper crafting at Gilles and Chez Dany were definitely enjoyed.

I did this trip with my 84 year parents. The itinerary was reasonable and allowed for lots of options. We were able to have down time when needed and walking was variable so flexible based on people’s abilities.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We visited the main cities in both Canada and USA and had plenty of free time to go out and explore areas that we already had seen or to others that we had been recommended to.

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.
