Everything was planned and we felt we had a great experience as our guide Heidi was very knowledgeable. She gave us the best place to stand on the boat and it was amazing. Plus she gave us the name of a restaurant to try and it did not disappoint!”

Hop on and off a clear-top Vancouver bus for an easy loop past Stanley Park, Gastown, Granville Island, and more, with audio stops.

“The guy at the ticket redemption place was very lovely, and friendly. He went above and beyound to help me figure the morning out. Driver, although quiet most of the time, provided information when needed and waited at stops long enough. I only did the city tour since I am afraid of heights and needed 5 hours to kill after checking out of my hotel. Was raining cats and dogs, plus was alone and wearing a sandal due to foot injury, so did three laps instead of getting off and exploring the city. On the bright side, I learned a lot about Vancouver, BC from the audio guide. And if…”

Half-day coach trip from Quebec City to Montmorency Falls and Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, plus Ile d’Orléans chocolate and copper art.

“Overall, the trip was fine but I am disappointed in how they executed the itinerary for the day. We went on the 12:30pm trip which was the only one left available and had 4 stops. We toured the church, a copper museum, a chocolatier and the Montmorency Falls. During December, when we went, it gets dark around 4 pm. Our tour was 4 1/2 hours which means we would end after dark. The tour guide chose to make Montmorency Falls the last stop of the day even though we passed by the park 2 times on the tour prior to other stops. Why he chose to make it after dark…”
