it was not what we expected. We thought we would have a leader and would meet the other people that were on the tour, but it was just as if we had hired a travel agent and were basically on our own for the whole trip. The timing didn't work out too well either, what with having to check out of the hotels so early and then do something with our luggage.

Train was old and two hours late arriving In Halifax. Our trip was self guided, except for two tourbus rides that were fine. In Quebec City, the limo to a different train slation to catch the evening train to Halifax was very helpful.

The hotel accommodations were good. But the train from Quebec City to Halifax was terrible. The sleeper cabin was tiny and poorly laid out. There was no place for luggage, the ladder to the 2nd bunk was in the way of the door to the bathroom. The food was really poor and there was very limited space to sit outside of the dining car.
