What people love about Nova Scotia Tours for Seniors
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Absolutely fantastic tour guide, dexterous coach driver !!
- Wonders of the Maritimes & Scenic Cape Breton with Ocean Train to Montreal
It was an amazing experience. Scott was a great tour guide. I found it was a great mix of showing us things and free time to wander on your own. Would definitely do it again. The only down side was when the train did not leave and we had to figure out how to get to Montreal our selves
