Best of Eastern Canada

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.

Dave our tour manager was excellent and he really made the trip for us. I highly recommend any trip where he is the manager.

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.

Overall the tour was good. Especially liked Quebec City. Would have liked more time in Toronto.

Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls were great. We also greatly enjoyed the Sugar shack. The only negative was the final dinner at the French Restaurant. The service was not good. If I had been by myself I would have sent my incredibly tough steak back to the kitchen. Our fellow diners at our table had to ask multiple times for simple things such as additional drinks, which they were completely fine with paying for themselves. Definitely not up to Collette standards.

Niagara Falls boat experience

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

The town we visited after seeing Niagara Falls.

Loved all of it.

Loved Toronto and Quebec. Enjoyed Ottawa and learning about Canadian government. Montreal is a big city and as such has the big city atmosphere.

We loved Quebec City the most and wish we had more time to explore. In each of the cities we hit the highlights and it was very informative

I loved old Quebec City and the Thousand Islands boat tour.

Niagara Falls was great! The tour should NOT be recommended for someone who has trouble walking. There are many on and off the bus. Many stairs and much walking of more than one block. My travel companion used a cane and I WAS TOLD I was responsible for helping her on and off the bus by the bus driver who was told by the tour guide to say this. Next I knew we were always seated in the back of the bus. I wasn’t feeling well the Wednesday before the last day so I did not go on the Wednesday afternoon tour. Thursday I did not go on tour either. Felt better Thursday evening so I thought I’d go to the last dinner. I wore a masked as not to contaminate anyone. Tour directed advised me not to go so I stayed back. She said I would receive a 3-5% credit. Still waiting to get the credit!

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.
