4.0 out of 5
Overall the itinerary is good. A couple of comments. The opening dinner was in the dining room. A separate room for the dinner and a better chance to meet others on the tour and perhaps an introduction to the tour would have been good. One hour breaks for lunch are a bit short; one and a half hours would be better and more time to find a restaurant. The winery visit could be deleted as it wasn’t much and the visit to the Bell museum shortened. The road up the Cabot Trail was mostly forest. The return side was much better along the coastline. Some accommodations, particularly Baddeck and Digby were past their best before date and the elevator failure in Digby was problematic. The final scallop dinner in Digby was a bit disappointing. Many of the stops were excellent such as the lobster dinner and demonstration along with the desert preparation and cocktails preparation in Moncton. The bus driver was really excellent. The tour director was a last minute replacement and could have benefited with more prep time and the more timely receipt of her supplies. Name tags would have been a good idea. inclusion of a visit to Peace by Chocolate was wonderful. Bus was really comfortable.
