One could not have asked for a better family vacation trip than this. In an affordable package we were taken to Ney York, New Jersey and other attractions. My Wife and Children really loved the visit to Olympic Tower, St. Joseph's Oratory, Quebec Historic District, Louis Gate, Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Saint Lawrence River and Ausable River. All the Arrangements made were great. Everyone must take this tour with family.

The tour guide made sure to answer all questions, act as a photographer for all of us, and personalize the tour based on our questions and interactions. Although it seems quick it\'s 3 days and 2 nights of pure enjoyment.
