Canada Tours in Fall

The itinerary was well planned and paced, our group was 44 travelers (I prefer less for next time) but the activity levels were as advertised, the local hosts knowledgable and interesting and the weather was spectacularly perfect!

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.

Kelly was fabulous!! I just can’t say enough— her knowledge of the area, the history, her anecdotes and bus games were outstanding. She encouraged everyone to mix and mingle, which provided another level of interest. I personally would have liked more time for hiking and exploring, although it was a level 2 activity tour, asI have back issues and spent too much time sitting in the bus, during sightseeing excursions and at meals. In terms of accommodations, the Calgary Marriott and Banff Inn were great. The Bayshore at Waterton Lake was not up to the same standards. You may want to explore other options in town.

The tour was fantastic! We saw so many breathtaking spots and every day was set up so well. Our tour manager/guide - Kelly was absolutely phenomenal. She knew so much about each area we saw, and her personality was so cheerful and funny - no matter what time it was or what we were doing. She herself was a highlight. My favorite location on the trip was Lake Louise. I would absolutely do another tour like this in the future.

The trip was fantastic! The accommodations, restaurants and included tour inclusions were great. Our guide Darren and driver Brian were the best. The only thing I was not pleased with was the walking tour in New Brunswick, I didn’t care for the restaurant choices and or the local guide.

LOVED the tour!!! Jovanka Mrdja was an amazing tour manager.....loved her. The only issue was the train was cold....the attendants (Chloe, Naomi and Tasa) said they were having an issue with the air conditioning. They were very kind.....giving us a blanket which helped!!! There wasn't one memorable experience.....loved the train, the mountains, Butchart Gardens, waterfalls, the Glaciers and the great hotels. Thank you, Collette, for organizing our trip.
