It was full of fun! Great group of travellers on the bus. Tour guide was amazing. He made the whole trip so much fun! Seen all the sights. A must trip to go on.
Too long on bus. Nothing scenic on ride. Too many museums. Driver and tour director great. Once we got to designation, it was beautiful. I'd have enjoyed more oceanside towns instead of forts, cemetaries, and museums.
TO FAST PACED AT TIMES RUNNING ON TO TIGHT OF A SCHEDULE.
Saw much Learned much more Had GREAT time.
Agent was knowledgeable and was able to help us pick out the right trip for us.
Fantastic tour director and driver. Beautiful Canadian countryside, history and experiences. Could have used a bit more time in some of the stops, and less time on the road, but overall a great experience.
Great trip. Great tour director and a very skillful driver. It was above my expectation.
I had a nice trip with with my roommate Afsi, Very beautiful places that we visited. Very peaceful and great places we visited . My first time traveling to that part of Canada.
Very comprehensive and well paced.
Excellent tour guide and driver
Prefer less Museum visits (or more spread out during the tour). Value for dollars was below average. More meals and transport to/ from the airport should have been included.
It was awesome I would recommend it to anyone
Wonderful trip and both perfect.
I enjoyed the whole trip
I wish we could have had more time in St. John, New Brunswick.
Very full. A lot of traveling but you needed to do that to see everything. Our leader and bus driver were excellent. Having such a good leader brought the whole group together.
This is quite the Maritime Adventure! Full of wonderful experiences and scenic routes. From museums to boat rides to cultural venues, everything was amazing! The included meals were terrific, giving us a good flavor for the area. Our tour guide, was exceptional! There was a nice balance between walking tours, bus rides and ferries.
We loved Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Each province has very different and travel worthy visits. Thoroughly enjoyed this trip.
-very fast pace needed more free time at some sites -food was excellent -hotels were good -tour guides were well informed and and delivered the information in an exciting way -would have liked a 1/2 hour to 1 hour later start in the morning as we finished early on most days -found the trip for a lower price online after booking with my travel agent
Enjoyed the trip very much, traveled with my sister and 91 year old mother. Worried that the trip might be too much for her, but she did great. We enjoyed all the stops and the local guides added so much information! The interesting stories really painted pictures of the past. Our tour guide did a great job keeping everything on schedule and was very knowledgeable about Canada! Our tour was attended by members of 3 different countries, we loved meeting new friends! I was really sorry the trip was ending and felt sad as I knew I would miss everyone!
The itinerary is great. I don't think we would have seen as much if we would have done this on our own. You receive a tour guide at almost all of the places on the itinerary over and above your travel director. That person is on the bus all the time, and has excellent knowledge if your have any questions. We had *************
This trip was fabulous… all the tour guides were knowledgeable and approachable. I must give credit to our coach driver; he drove us up mountains through, rain, fog, then bright sunshine. The itinerary included breathtaking stops but sometimes we were on such a time crunch that I wish we had a little more time to thoroughly enjoy each stop. I would definitely recommend this tour!
I feel that the trip was a bit rushed compared to other trips in the past
You'll have a great time on this trip! Lot's to see and do. Bring your camera because everywhere you look is like a postcard. Hope you like seafood because you'll get your fill. Please, take the time to enjoy this part of Canada.
Met exoectations and we saw a good amount of the interesting sites an the maritimes.
It was a very interesting trip.
Really enjoyed the trip. Bus riding got a little tiring late in the trip - maybe find something to do in Saint John, NB to avoid two long bus days. Otherwise pretty awesome.
Great itinerary. Saw most highlights of East Coast. My first time in this part of Canada and tour met my expectations
Need better hotels near the downtown,most clients are old,we were 3 with canes and had to walk 30 minutes downtown in Halifax and slso Beddeck. Also why is it another Hamton Inn included airport transfer but not the one we stayed at!The best hotel was in Charlottetowm ,all our hotels should have been that quality.The initial welcome dinner was atrocious,we went to Spain with Trafalgar and had paella for a welcome dinner.I must say there were some good things but many bad things,
Tailor made for older folks and wasn’t a hard trip on anyone with any kind of disability. Sites were well chosen and interesting
The itinerary was good. The only short coming was the fact that sites of interest are rather far between and a lot of driving time was needed to get to these sites. Not a Trafalgar issue but the nature of the area being toured. My wife and I did however not enjoy the Prince Edward Island Preserve Co. It did not meet our expectations and did not allow for her dietary requirements.
Good itinerary but long time on the motor coach. Except for the lobster lunch the included meals were underwhelming. Accomadations were fine.
