      Good value. Accommodations and meals were good, and the tour guides (Loretta and local guide) and bus driver were excellent (van driver from RI to CT, not so much). Itinerary was full and interesting and there was still plenty of time to explore on your own.

      There were many highlights to this tour that were unexpected (even though on the itinerary!) Lunch at Parliament House was fabulous as we had amazing food and got to see the inside of this beautiful building. We got to see lots of the old town and the tour of Castle Frontignac was outstanding. Loretta the guide from TofD was very caring with some of the more frail guests. The Ice Hotel was well worth a visit. Our VIP tickets for the parade gave us a fantastic view and we had a fabulous time. I thought the local guide could have spent a lot less time talking about history and more about Quebec today.

      Quebec City is amazing! We had an excellent time. The highlight was the Canadian tour guide that we met upon arrival and showed us the different sites. He was amazing. The Tours Of Distinction guide was disorganized and not engaged. She was helpful at times but could have much better.
