What people love about Nova Scotia Tours for Seniors
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Name Tags for fellow travellers would have been very helpful. Also, booking us all into places with queen and king beds would be much more restful for us who like to share a bed.
Everything on the trip was great until we ran into troubles with the train. They held us without canceling from 1pm until the next morning at 6:30am. Very little food was offered, no other transportation was offered, and no refund has been offered by Globus. The flights to Montreal were 906$. We had to still go because our flights back home to BC were booked to leave from Montreal. We were very disappointed. Can someone please contact me. 2505523929
