Nice tour! Trafalgar service was generally of a high standard but some of the hotels were of a lesser standard e.g. because they did not have full facilities such as breakfast, other dining and bar. It was a generally sound itinerary which would have been enhanced by less time in Niagara after the visit to the falls and deleting the visit to the lavender farm.

Our wonderful trip. Trafalgar Guides & driver looks after you on the coaches..keeping us up to date with descriptions of where we are driving & what we are seeing. It was a wonderful trip full of beautiful buildings, history & amazing places. The hilight of the trip was Niagara Falls & it didn't disappoint. The breakfast in Toronto wasn't very good...
