What people love about touring Nova Scotia solo
- Wonders of the Bay of Fundy
The tour was great even though some of the hotels were a bit out of the centre of town. Robb our tour leader was informative and friendly and our bus driver Jed was very skilful. We particularly liked Hopewell Rocks guided tour but all the tour guides were very interesting.
- Enchanting Canadian Maritimes
Fantastic trip. Well organised and friendly, approachable staff. Was so easy to see so much more than we could have organised on our own. Met some lovely people. So much fun! Will definitely do a tour again and highly recommend.
- Highlights of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island
We had such a great time on our trip to Nova Scotia and PEI. The tour director was a lot of fun and took care of everything flawlessly. We would certainly travel with Tours of Distinction again.
