| - I did a 7 day Eastern Canada bus tour with this company. Before I go into great detail, here is a general observation of my week on a bus tour:
Most of the tourists were of Asian descent whether directly from the continent, from Ontario or British Columbia. Out of 56 passengers, there were 7 non-asians (including the driver).
When travelling to the Maritimes, its important to dress for warm and cool climate
This trip is child friendly although I personally would not bring a child younger than 7 years old due to the length of time on the bus. With that being said, there were children on the bus as young as 1 years old with no inconvenience to the other tourists traveling.
People on the bus can be very pushy (I.e. coming off the bus). We all come from different walks of life so not everyone is as mannerable or courteous.
It is a guided tour but not a very rigid tour. There are some moments where you can do your own thing even if it's for a bit.
Wifi on the bus and in hotels are not that great.
Although attractions are optional, the tour is surrounded by them so there may be nothing to do/see if you opt out of it.
If you opt out of the meal plan, the lunch/dinner time is 1 hour so stay within the area when getting food. Whether you purchase the meal plan or not, most of the food stops are Chinese buffets.
To keep the seating plan fair, rotational seating is done daily so everyone sits in the front, middle and back of the bus by the end of the week.
Go on this trip with an open mind because bus trips are not for everyone.
I was satisfied and pleased with hotel selections
For a family of 3 we paid $1599 (not including the attractions and/or meal plan). This is roughly what we would pay if going to Cuba. We had a great time and learned and seen a lot. For this price, I cannot complain at all.
