It was the best kind of tour that I could have taken in three days. My wife and I decided to take our kids to the Winter Carnival in Canada, although I was afraid that the tour might get boring, surprisingly but it didn’t. And it was breathtaking and that ice hotel where everything was so fascinating and made of ice. Observatory Tower was awesome. Thank you guys, my family really had fun.

why It was like I have to open my wallet every time we paid a visit to a certain destination. The tour people should manage the admissions fees that require in visiting a place such as we visit so many places including Canada observatory Tower winter carnival, Saint Joseph oratory and every time we had to pay the tour fees. Just manage it either by collecting the charges initially or some other way. The tour was fun. It was the best surprise winter tour for my fiancé.
