    The tour director Amani was excellent, knowledgeable and time managing ladies. Shaun was also excellent, smooth driver, pay attention to elderly traveler who get on and off the bus. The local tour guide in Quebec city was excellent and knowledgeable, clear explaining about each tour sight. The local tour guide in Montreal has a strong accent in English, did not provided clear and important information, it is difficult to understand what she was saying exactly. This hotel in Quebec city is located far from the city centre and is in the middle of a huge construction site. Please consider hotel location is close to old town of Quebec city where convenient and easy tour for potential traveler. Some days, it is not necessary to departure from the hotel at early morning since we had enough time, especially on the days go to Nigara Falls. The Quebec city, Ottawa and Nigara fall are worth to visit.

    The hotels were all very comfortable. Location of the hotel in Quebec in particular was not convenient at all and is in the middle of a huge construction site and a good distance away from the city. Armani our tour director was excellent. Knowledgeable, humourous and clearly spoken. Shaun our coach driver was also excellent. Great driver, calm, friendly and supplier of Wethers Originals. The itinerary felt a little rushed at times and the early morning starts did not always seem necessary. The guide in Quebec was great, knowledgeable, clear speaking and not rushed. The guide in Montreal was difficult to understand and took a lot of concentration to understand what she was saying that eventually you turned off. Niagara, Ottowa, Quebec were all interesting and enjoyable. Kingston and particularly Montreal just seemed to be add ons and not worth visiting.

    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.
