Mr Gregory Roy was an exceptional tour guide. More time should be spent in the Niagara area, skip the boat ride on the big lake, that was the only boring part of the trip. The Sheraton hotel in Montreal had the absolute worst breakfast of all, you wanted $36 on each traveler, the other 3 hotels breakfast were exceptional. I would look for another hotel in Montreal.Ronald and Carol Wagner

This was my 4th trip with Collette. and I had a few problems. This is the first time the bus was very uncomfortable.I am 5’10” tall with very long legs and my knees were pressing on the seat in front of me making it very uncomfortable on the long bus rides. Also the hotels for most of the trip we’re great but the hotel in Montreal had problems. The tile bathroom floor was appx 1/2” higher than the carpet a very dangerous fall potential.Also the commode was very short and only had walls on each side.I recently had knee replacement surgery plus being tall found this VERY painful to get up. I enjoyed most of the trip and really enjoyed the wonderful meal at the old mill.The Suger shack was interesting but the food was not to my liking.Niagara falls and Niagara by the lake as well as Old Quebec were my favorites .Both the tour guide Leigh and the driver Val were great .

We were happy with all of the tour. The tour director, Daniel, was excellent! Enjoyed all the cities and venues. Some of the meals could have been a little better but they were fine overall. The last hotel in Montreal needed updating. We would have preferred not sitting in the airport in Toronto for 4 hrs for our flight home. Did learn there was a direct flight from Montreal to St. Louis and that would have been nice!

I purchase magnets for my refridgerator to commemorate places I've been. As I am a slow walker (there were 2 of us), I didn't always get a chance to check out gift shops the first several stops. I had to go on Amazon to get one for Niagara Falls!. Also, I would have appreciated, in Quebec City, knowing that the walk I was taking for ice cream was not "just around the corner" and uphill: I guess I would rather have gone to Chateau Frontenac if I had known that. But, overall, the trip was excellent! The breakfast at the Omni Hotel (a great place) was abysmal; otherwise, the breakfasts were very good; moderate at the Sugar Shack, but it was an interesting place. It was good to spend time at Niagara Falls, and the boat trip will always be a super memory. Micky was great on providing detail and funny videos on the bus, but not much time to "chill" in the chill section of the bus. Grant was fantastic as our bus driver - had some time to chat with him - very interesting guy. Micky recommended a First Nations restaurant in Montreal (?) - any way, 3 of us went, and it was fantastic!

Didn’t compare favorably to other tour companies I have used. Tour Manager read information about Canada to us on the bus from his tablet, gave us far too little time to find meals and be back on the bus, made no attempt to get to know people, and started and finished tour with a letter escalating what his tip should be, above and beyond what Colette said pre-tour. Local guides were exceptional but only had two. And tour manager was a complete no show last day so we were totally on our own getting to the airport in shifts for travel home. He did he had a squirrel brain and he was right. No innate organizational skills. One morning we had to have luggage outside doors by 6:15, then we sat and waited for breakfast 7-8:30, and bus left at 9. Why not breakfast and take our own luggage to the bus? Avoid all the sit and wait time and we *know* the luggage is on the bus!

If an upcoming stop needed context, she provided it. I enjoyed the opportunity to tour the Basilica of Notre Dame in Montreal and our time at St. Anne's later in the tour, but for pure fun, the trip to see how maple water is drawn from trees and made into maple sugar was hard to beat. The combination of a delicious breakfast and Canadian music performed live was a winner!

Really enjoyed the walking tour of Quebec , glad there was an alternative on bus if needed. The sugar shack experience was great. I enjoyed the alternate activity visited the Copper museum and studio . Disappointed that 2 activities, Niagara and *1000 Island boat cruises were understandably cancelled because of weather. However , inclement weather was not unexpected , so I did not understand why an alternate activity had not been planned. (*The underground tunnel at the falls did not suffice. It was cold , flooded and quick!!) Please note we arrived at hotel because of the 1000 island cancellation and although the accommodations were very nice many did not want to spend from 3:00 on in our rooms...and many local restaurants were closed. ) Perhaps a dinner voucher for the hotel could have been provided. Again we enjoyed our tour, but I think some of the activities should have had ‘fall back’ activities planned.

Dinner was advertised to be at a “popular restaurant in the heart of the city” which in reality was in our hotel, disappointing

So much was included in this tour it is very difficult to pick just one special experience. I loved ALL the places we visited and would love to return to each of them. It really made me appreciate my Canadian neighbors - and they are such great cooks! The French Canadian food was the best I have ever had, and the service was outstanding. I also learned so much. The cities are beautiful, with such interesting history. I also loved all the gorgeous nature and scenery we passed while in the bus. Canada is so beautiful! It still amazes me how much was included in this tour and how much we were able to see - the planning by Collette was outstanding!

Great restaurants. Loved Le Moulin de St. Laurent and Le Saint Amour. Need listening devices for walking tours! Good hotels except for Chateau Laurier Hotel in Quebec City- small & old rooms, outdated furniture, awful bathrooms, and a maze to get to the room. No tour of Ottawa- only about a 45 minute bus tour. Need to add a day for Ottawa. Only about 30 minutes to see Niagara Falls from the Visitor's Center after making a mad dash to the restrooms. Needed a full hour there. Enjoyed the boat to the base of the falls.

Living one mile from Canada and having a cabin in Ontario for 35 years gave us some background on the country. The four cities we visited made us feel more like we were in Europe.

Our tour manager was awesome. It was a large group and she handled the different needs and personalities professionally. The accommodations in Montreal were excellent; beyond that they were just okay as the rooms got smaller and smaller. It was very nice to find our luggage already delivered to our room at each hotel.The hotels were well located and very central to many sights. It would have been lovely to spend an extra day in Ottawa since it is the capitol and there was a lot to see and do. The connecting transportation was very good with the exception of the last connection from our Toronto hotel to the airport. That driver was late and expected a tip at the airport. Also, the listed average cost of meals for those not included in the itinerary was way too low as we were in high tourist areas. We spent a lot of time commuting by bus, which quickly got tiresome. Several of the halfway point/bathroom breaks were at truck stops. I had many favorites during the trip, but if I had to pick just one it would be Niagra Falls. It is one spectacular sight to behold. As a vegetarian, our Tour Manager made us feel included and offered meal suggestions. I felt safe and protected the entire journey and met some lovely people. I would definitely travel with Collette again.

Make no mistake, this a bus tour and you will be riding for extended periods of time, living out of a suitcase and on Collette's schedule. You fly into Monreal, ride to Quebec and then backtrack to Montreal and then on to Ottowa, about a 4.5 hour ride. The tour guide said Quebec has less flights than Montreal and that's why the trip is scheduled in this manner. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable. Breakfast included with the package are in the hotels and that was OK. The dinners included were very predictable, chicken, salmon and another meat. The additional excursions were good and provided the best dinners and sights. Our farewell dinner was re-scheduled from a nice restaurant to the Sheraton in Toronto (final nights stay) and was very disappointing. The food was low end banquet type and we were offered a choice of wine after everyone had finished eating entrees. We would not do this kind of trip again, by the end of the week, we were ready to get off that bus and discontinue being herded like cattle. If you choose to do this trip, be sure your luggage is checked thru to your final destination as Collette screwed up our outbound flights and subsequently caused our luggage to lag behind us for one day.

The trip was awesome! The only thing on the Eastern Canada tour I would change is to have an extra day at Toronto & a longer time at Niagara Falls. This was the main reason for our trip to begin with. We would have liked more time to see the aquarium and tower in Toronto. Also the gift shop at the Falls was better than any other shop we were at and we had NO time to shop there.
