What people love about Nova Scotia Tours for Seniors
- 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
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Very well organized. Guide and driver were excellent.
- Landscapes of the Canadian Maritimes (Classic)
This was our 7th trip with Insight and this was a nice paced tour of the Maritimes. The tour director was excellent as well as the coach driver. As long as my wife and I can keep traveling we'll be going with Insight.
