      Start the morning off with a narrated Lighthouse Cruise on the Long Island Sound. Narration will be given by a lighthouse historian. The tour will last about two hours, and will be aboard the comfortable high-speed Sea Jet catamaran that can cruise up to 30 knots (35 mph). This boat offers 3 decks:  one open, and two enclosed. From your seat, view lighthouses, forts, mansions, grand hotels, and more. The cruise will  cover 35 miles. Due to having lunch after the cruise, please feel free to bring a snack with you, or you can buy something from the onboard snack bar.

      Enjoy lunch at Steak Loft in Mystic.  Mystic’s best steakhouse and top seafood restaurant are one and the same. Since 1973, Steak Loft has featured premium beef, and fresh seafood.  Choose one of the following entrees: Chicken Teriyaki, or Baked New England Cod (herb breadcrumb topping), or Baked Salmon (Citrus Butter). All entrees include:  the Steak Loft salad bar, coffee, tea, and dessert.

      It was really wonderful the tour and the Culinary institute. Disappointed at the FDR library and Museum... cafe and gift shop not open

      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.
