Canada Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our 8-Day Canada tours
Anonymous | Traveled in July
Tour director & driver were wonderful. Hotels overall were not good particularly the quality of breakfast provided. The dinners provided by The tour were of a very poor quality particularly in Bedeck and at the Inverary resort. We booked this and were informed it was a high quality tour as we paid nearly 1.000 Canadian dollars pp per day. We travel many times a year. It was our first Insight tour and based on this experience we will not be returning.

The itinerary was delightful. It covered quite a bit of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island but I would have liked a bit more of New Brunswick

I was surprised how much I loved Calgary. I usually don’t care for cities. The mountains and the beautiful lakes took my breath away. Daniel was a fabulous guide and was a wealth of information. He had many stories to keep us amused on the bus. I would highly recommend.
