We had never traveled by train overnight before and I enjoyed the trip, the meals, the learning consultant on board and the whole train experience. I am so glad we added the tour to the breathtaking Peggy's Cove.

This was a once in a lifetime trip for my 50th birthday I LOVED the Ritz hotel in Montreal. Every place we went people were friendly and accommodating. The vouchers were easy to use. And finally- I was deeply touched and emotional that you all remembered I was having a birthday celebration, and at our last hotel, Delta in Halifax, the staff gave me a chocolate cake/brownie with strawberries and a birthday card signed by the staff. It has taken me 20 years to afford the money and time to return to my homeland of Canada, and to take my daughters with me. Thank you for this most memorable experience.
