What people love about Nova Scotia Tours for Seniors
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Excellent tour, beautiful places. Excellent tour director and coach driver.
- Wonders of the Maritimes & Scenic Cape Breton with Ocean Train to Montreal
Very rewarding tour! We visited places we would probably never have found on our own. Beautiful country, comfortable hotels. Our tour guide kept things interesting and our motorcoach driver was unflappable. And we were lucky with weather. Moderate temperatures and only one rainy day.
