Seeing Canada for the first time and touring with a group run by a wonderful, Canadian tour guide, native of Montreal, made for a most memorable experience. Visiting these 4 major cities and learning about their 400 year old history including Old Quebec and the little Notre Dame was unforgettable.EB

Julie Rolleman, our tour guide, set a welcoming, upbeat tone for the trip. She made the bus rides interesting by sharing what makes Canada unique through its history, music, food, language and more. If an upcoming stop needed context, she provided it. I enjoyed the opportunity to tour the Basilica of Notre Dame in Montreal and our time at St. Anne's later in the tour, but for pure fun, the trip to see how maple water is drawn from trees and made into maple sugar was hard to beat. The combination of a delicious breakfast and Canadian music performed live was a winner!

Really enjoyed the walking tour of Quebec , glad there was an alternative on bus if needed. The sugar shack experience was great. I enjoyed the alternate activity visited the Copper museum and studio . Disappointed that 2 activities, Niagara and *1000 Island boat cruises were understandably cancelled because of weather. However , inclement weather was not unexpected , so I did not understand why an alternate activity had not been planned. (*The underground tunnel at the falls did not suffice. It was cold , flooded and quick!!) Please note we arrived at hotel because of the 1000 island cancellation and although the accommodations were very nice many did not want to spend from 3:00 on in our rooms...and many local restaurants were closed. ) Perhaps a dinner voucher for the hotel could have been provided. Again we enjoyed our tour, but I think some of the activities should have had ‘fall back’ activities planned.

Niagara Falls and Quebec City were great . But some trips were poorly planned. The optional tours did not live up to the description and were expensive and they could have been done easily on your own. Boat ride around Toranto was silly and short. Although you were transported to a beautiful park you could not get off the ferry if you wanted to eat the dinner that you paid extra for. Dinner was advertised to be at a “popular restaurant in the heart of the city” which in reality was in our hotel, disappointing

Our tour manager was awesome. It was a large group and she handled the different needs and personalities professionally. The accommodations in Montreal were excellent; beyond that they were just okay as the rooms got smaller and smaller. It was very nice to find our luggage already delivered to our room at each hotel.The hotels were well located and very central to many sights. It would have been lovely to spend an extra day in Ottawa since it is the capitol and there was a lot to see and do. The connecting transportation was very good with the exception of the last connection from our Toronto hotel to the airport. That driver was late and expected a tip at the airport. Also, the listed average cost of meals for those not included in the itinerary was way too low as we were in high tourist areas. We spent a lot of time commuting by bus, which quickly got tiresome. Several of the halfway point/bathroom breaks were at truck stops. I had many favorites during the trip, but if I had to pick just one it would be Niagra Falls. It is one spectacular sight to behold. As a vegetarian, our Tour Manager made us feel included and offered meal suggestions. I felt safe and protected the entire journey and met some lovely people. I would definitely travel with Collette again.

Make no mistake, this a bus tour and you will be riding for extended periods of time, living out of a suitcase and on Collette's schedule. You fly into Monreal, ride to Quebec and then backtrack to Montreal and then on to Ottowa, about a 4.5 hour ride. The tour guide said Quebec has less flights than Montreal and that's why the trip is scheduled in this manner. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable. Breakfast included with the package are in the hotels and that was OK. The dinners included were very predictable, chicken, salmon and another meat. The additional excursions were good and provided the best dinners and sights. Our farewell dinner was re-scheduled from a nice restaurant to the Sheraton in Toronto (final nights stay) and was very disappointing. The food was low end banquet type and we were offered a choice of wine after everyone had finished eating entrees. We would not do this kind of trip again, by the end of the week, we were ready to get off that bus and discontinue being herded like cattle. If you choose to do this trip, be sure your luggage is checked thru to your final destination as Collette screwed up our outbound flights and subsequently caused our luggage to lag behind us for one day.
