    I am a very picky person when it comes to traveling. Wanted to do this tour for two years. It is the perfect trip for all the must see things in Nova Scotia that you all have heard about. Each hotel was above the norm. The restaurant choices were great also. Our group consisted of 24 including driver and guide. Small bus, very comfortable. I would not hesitate to book with Tours of Distinction again..

    We had a wonderful trip with your company! Our tour guide, Kim, was both professional and attentive to all our needs. She made our trip fun! Our driver, Bob, had a fun personality and also gave us a very safe drive. He was "da man" as we all said! Our guide in Nova Scotia filled us with the history of the area. Very interesting! Our guide on Prince Edward's Island was good too. We also made some good friends!

    Just completed 7 day trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. Kim, our tour director was awesome. Our motorcoach was very comfortable and our driver Bob also did an outstanding job. I highly recommend this duo. I plan on going on many more trips in the future.

    Just returned from the Nova Scotia/Bar Harbor trip. Our tour director Kim was everything you’d want in a tour director, professional, fun, on top of every detail and flexible to fit needs of group. Our driver Bob was a great driver, patient and helpful but also fun. Bus was extremely comfortable! Brian our local guide did a great job around Halifax, he is extremely knowledgeable and kept us interested in the history. My sister and I enjoyed our trip and will be planning another I’m sure. Kudos to all!

    My husbandand I just got back from the Nova Scotia tour. We had never been on a bus tour so really had no expectations. We were very pleased. Kim our trip leader was very efficient and friendly. Bob our bus driver was an excellent driver with a great sense of humor and a perfect personality for dealing with all ages. Brian our Halifax local guide was a wealth of knowledge. Even our trolley driver Josh in Acadia was great. Only downside was traffic on interstates which can't be helped. We were just glad we were not driving and instead enjoying this extremely comfortable motor coach . We hope to book another trip in the future with Tours of Distinction.

    Wonderful trip to Nova Scotia and Bar Harbor. The bus was extremely comfortable, clean with a very professional and attentive driver with a great personality (Bob) he kept the bus near and tidy and was an excellent driver. Our Guide Kim was a wonderful fit for our group, the food and hotel options were perfect with a few surprises along the way! Kim was helpful, fun and took carry of everything very professionally. Can’t wait to travel with them again.

    This is a great trip! Our tour director Kim was very organized, knowledgeable and pleasant. We enjoyed her. Bob, our bus driver was a great driver, kind with lots of patience. The stops: Bar Harbor, Acadia, Halifax and Prince Edward Island were great. We had lots to do with the tour, but also had ample time on our own to explore. This was my first trip with Tours of Distinction. I look forward to my next one. I also enjoyed the smaller group size of 22.

    Beware: Tours of Distinction does NOT have guaranteed departures! My family of four was completely booked for a July 8th departure to Switzerland, and received a voice message two weeks prior to departure indicating the tour was canceled due to lack of interest. Mind you, I had been attempting to contact the company for multiple weeks prior to receiving the voice message to request additional information regarding flights. Instead of receiving a direct response from a representative, I was told on three separate phone calls that the person managing this trip was unavailable, and my attempts to receive additional information via email were completely ignored. I understand a need to cancel, but the unprofessionalism with holding on delivering this critical information until two weeks prior is unacceptable. Why would the company not explain the likely cancelation during one of my many attempts to confirm flight information as they were clearly aware of the lack of interest? The company ruined my family’s summer vacation. Funds were fully refunded, but without enough time to find another comparable tour during our available window. Very disappointing.

    We had a fine experience with the Tours of Distinction trip to Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, which began and ended in Ellsworth, ME. The tour director, Julie, did an excellent job, the bus driver was pleasant and provided a safe trip, and the local guides with whom the tour contracted helped our group understand local history and culture. Especially helpful to me was learning about Acadian history: the Acadian roots in southern France, British expulsion of them from Atlantic Canada, and their eventual return to the Maritimes. The one piece of history I wish had been discussed more was that of the Gaelic settlers. Given the name of the province, Nova Scotia ("New Scotland"), it would have been helpful to hear more of their history in the area.

    Positive: Angelina, the bus driver, made our trip. She was the best part, to be honest. Negative: Communication prior to the trip, not knowing what to expect in detail, food, the bus leaked, No OFFICIAL tour guide, and no wifi on the bus. All in all, we all enjoyed ourselves and made the best of it. However, I would not travel with this company again.

    Oh no@ Sorry to hear Alice that your trip fell sort of expectations. Unfortunately, our scheduled Tour Director came down with COVID. However, we were fortunate that your driver also had Tour Directing experience. All the best in your future travels.

      My wife and I are flying into Bangor on the day before the trip and would like to stay at the same hotel the tour is booked for on Monday night. Has the hotel in Bangor been determined yet? If so, please provide the name of the hotel.

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten May 2025

      The hotel in Bangor has been, and is, the Courtyard Bangor; however, we can make that reservation for you, and you can just take care of the payment upon arrival. The tour ends in Bar Harbor where we take the trolley tour to Acadian National Park. The bus will take passengers back to the hotel, but won't be leaving Bar Harbor until around 1:30pm
