What people love about Eastern Canada Tours from Toronto
- Eastern Journey
Our trip was in Eastern Canada the first of July 2023. It was a nightmare to figure out how to get to our hotel from the train and subways, up and down soooo many stairs then walking the rest of the way with our luggage mind you. Definitely call for a ride to the hotel. Our first hotel was nice in Toronto. Niagara Falls was fun and definitely something to experience. The tour buses on our whole trip were comfortable and we had great drivers, especially Mike. He was so personable and took really good care of us! The second hotel in Ottawa was good too but when we went to Quebec City that was the worst hotel I’ve ever been in! The beds were uncomfortable, the air conditioner didn’t work well at all, and the shower was messed up and only ran hot water. Then the water wouldn’t shut off so we had to call someone to shut it off with tools. The tub didn’t have anything on the bottom for you to not slip so I slipped getting in and tore the towel rack down which was just glued on. I ended up having to place a towel in the shower where we could take a shower and not fall down. The people that worked there were rude. The carpet in the hallways was disgusting and coming up which is a major trip hazard. One couple that was on the tour with us showed me a piece of metal that fell from his ceiling in his room and hit him in the head. We had to stay two miserable nights there! Our next hotel in Montreal was okay and the last hotel they put us in back in Toronto was a very nice hotel and had a wonderful breakfast. Our guide was nice and informative too. We enjoyed seeing everything we did either while in the bus or walking around the cities. I’m not sure if I will do another group tour or not. Guess we’ll see….

Really enjoyed the tour- everyone was very friendly.
- Essence of Eastern Canada (End Montreal)
The tour was quite interesting, the travel director was really great, professional, well-prepared, sharing a lot of knowledge, entertaining, always cheerful! But what I did not like to much was that we spent too much time sitting and too little time walking. Obviously, travelling from one destination to another, one necessarily spends a couple of hours on the bus. But what I did not like was that the city sightseeing tours where on the bus again. Too me, that had not been made clear in the tour description. I would have preferred one or the other walking tour in the destination. But, maybe, the group was too big for that (about 50 persons), so, I'd also prefer travelling with a smaller group.
