What people love about touring Nova Scotia solo
- Wonders of the Bay of Fundy
Excellent tour guide, excellent sight seeing with knowledgeable guides, covered highlights in the area traveled and the weather was great which certainly added to my enjoyment
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
The tour included many wonderful sights and we were gifted with perfect weather! Getting to all the sights however made for some long days on the coach.
- Canadian Maritimes Adventure
Two of the three hotels were sub par in my opinion. Cosmos needs to pick better hotels for the amount that was paid for the tour. The one in Charlottesville was a dive. The bus, bus driver and tour guide were great.
