Mr Edwards - Travelled to Quebec"It was an amazing experience for us as a family "
We returned from our trip yesterday and I wanted to send a quick thank you as it exceeded our expectations. Your help in putting together the trip and arranging the vouchers etc. meant that it all went smoothly and the places that we got to see were very special indeed; there were some that you would definitely not find yourself. You promised wildlife and it certainly delivered, with 32 whales over the two whale watching trips, a black bear and 7 moose.
It was an amazing experience for us as a family and one that we will remember for a long time and will have to work very hard to replicate.
