    The cities we saw were great. I would have enjoyed more time in Montreal and less time in Toronto. I did not like our accommodations in the Sepia Hotel in Quebec City. The room was nice but smelled musty or smoky and the floor was sticky. The shower floor was incredibly slippery and there were no hand rails for safety. Our guide,Marilyn, was great.

    The tour guide gave conflicting information to different people which caused us to have to take an Uber from our hotel to the restaurant for dinner and then the bus (that was at the hotel) proceeded to take others from the hotel to the restaurant.

    I believe that the lady leading the tour did her best. The bus driver did a really good job. The internet needed improvement on the bus. The hotels were appropriate, some better than others. I’m thankful that I took the tour and hope to go on one here in the US to see the national parks.

    Tour Details

    Harry

    Asked on May 18th, 2025

    On Day 4 in Ottawa, is it being paid or part of free time? And on Day 3, going to Kingston, would there be a transfer?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • CostsaverOperatorWritten May 2025

      On Day 4 in Ottawa, the sightseeing is included in your itinerary, meaning it's part of the planned and covered activities. If you want to clarify how the morning will unfold, you can check in with the travel director, who can provide details on the planned schedule. After that, there will be free time, during which the travel director may offer some choice experiences that you can choose to participate in. On Day 3, you'll be departing Campbell's Orchard approximately 11:00 AM and arriving in Kingston around 12:10 PM. Since this transfer is included in your itinerary, it means transportation is already accounted for, so there shouldn't be any need for separate arrangements.
