Mrs Squire - Travelled to Atlantic Canada"the arrangements worked perfectly"
I am pleased to say that all the arrangements worked perfectly from start to finish. The Atlantic Tours itinerary was excellent and a special mention should go to both our guide (Marion) and driver (Don) who managed everything and everybody with not only professional aplomb but also a great sense of humour. The hotels were of a very good standard as was the food that was included - suffice to say that we are now working to remove some of the extra poundage gained as a result of our indulgences! We would not hesitate to recommend your services and will be more than happy to use them again in the future.
