We recently did the Presqu'ile National Park & Old Mill Alpacas day trip. We had lots of fun…read moredespite the iffy weather. Our tour guide Charmaine is very organized & friendly. It was so nice that everything was laid out clearly. We knew how much time we had for each activity. Our first stop was to the national park. We were getting intermittent rain alternating with sunshine so it was pretty wet. Also the park is on marshlands so even more wet than normal land! lol. We got dropped off by one of the board walking trails. It's very scenic & beautiful despite the rain. The sun came out at times. So nice to get some fresh air & there were birds, frogs, fish all around. Our next stop was at the Presqu'ile lighthouse, beach & visitor center (all near each other). The beach is small & rocky but it was so nice to be near the water. After the lighthouse we got to wander around the small visitor center. It has two single washrooms, a small history room, & a small gift shop. Next was our lunch stop at the Big Apple. There are around 4 food trucks outside the main building. There's a petting zoo also. Inside the main building there are washrooms, a candy store, baked goods, souvenirs, a burger joint & a bar. I liked the big apple but it would be hard to get there without a car. I liked that we got to pay for our own lunch because that also meant we could get whatever we want. Sometimes the day trips include lunch & has a limited menu especially for people with food intolerances. After lunch we got to go to Old Mill Alpacas. Here we got to feed the alpacas, and walk the alpacas. The owner of the farm also did a quick talk about alpacas. It was very interesting! Because of the rain it was muddy of course so we got dirty but I didn't mind as I was prepared with my waterproof boots. Also short trips informed us of weather conditions in an email before the day trip. After the alpacas we had a 30 mins break for dinner at a highway enroute rest stop. Too bad these enroute places don't have better food options. Anyway short trips has no control over that. Our drop off was on time. Overall we really enjoyed our tour with short trips. We would go on another tour with them for sure. Since we don't drive or have a car this is a really nice way to see parts in Ontario we wouldn't normally be able to see.

Having taken tours with Tianbao/Compass Holidays （天宝旅游）before and having received positive…read moreexperience I decided to go with them to the Guizhou No Shopping Tour （贵州纯玩团）. After taking this tour, I am traumatized to the point that I will no longer attend any tours containing Overseas Chinese as some members cannot keep their hands to themselves while out of North America. If it were possible for me to give 0 stars, I can assure you that it would be given. On the first day when we arrived at the airport we were picked up by a driver with another group of 8 based out of Vancouver. The driver did not know who to pick up and dropped us off at the hotel while giving us all a sheet of paper left on the front desk by our tour guide with the hotel staff. We had to check in by ourselves. On the second day, we were taken to our optional programs. In the contract, it specifies that each person would have a choice of options to attend up to 4 programs. In reality, we did not get to pick and it was based on a majority vote. As the group from Vancouver had a group of 8, out of 15 people they obviously had an upper hand and won so we were taken to the paper factory. As we were driving to the paper factory, there was a landslide. Given the concerns I had with safety, I voiced them to the tour guide but he did not care and forced us out of the tour bus when we arrived on site. During this trip, we were taken to shopping stops although in the contract it clearly specifies it was a no shopping tour. We stayed at each stop for between 40-50 minutes. Throughout the tour I was repetitively molested (though not sexually) by another member in our tour group. The member would caress my face and attempt to run her hands down my body. As she reached my neck, I would shove her hands off and scream for help. She was with the Vancouver group of 8. It got to the point where another member had to step in to assist me as we were close to calling the police (or dialing 110). We were not able to do so as we were taken to tour areas where there was no phone or internet signal. We had informed the tour guide of what was happening, but he just told us that "Over here, people touch each other all the time". What creeped me out the most about this tour was that a few members and myself became prey and targets to the molester and her friend. I was stalked, harassed, threatened and molested. On the second last day, her friend who was clearly drunk picked up a bottle and attempted to threaten and beat up a few members in our tour including myself all while the tour guide stood there and did nothing. The tour guide himself was uncaring, lazy, always late, and rude. We had requested the company 3 days in advance to provide us with a driver that would take us from the hotel on the day of our flight departure at 5:30 AM. Yet, the tour guide denied our request and also humiliated us in public. Instead, he requested us to pay $70 USD for a pickup service that would not leave until at least 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM, When I told him that I would instead take the taxi he warned me and another member that "We may not be able to catch our flight in time or make it out safely if we did not use their company's service". After the program had ended and our tour guide said he was no longer responsible for us anymore a member and myself decided to call a taxi to take us to the airport. While in our room, we were blocked by a hotel staff from leaving. Luckily, another member in our tour group was available and helped us call the taxi that would take us to the airport. The tour group member and I ended up staying in a hotel next to the airport in order to catch our early morning flight. I am lucky to have made it out safe and very much alive back home. After arriving home safely, a complaint was filed. Their response to this complaint was that it was cultural difference or misunderstanding. I am appalled as threats, harassment, and molestation are a pretty universal language to me. I also have doubts as to whether those two perpetrators from Vancouver were ever contacted in the first place. I will never be using their service ever again if this is their response to safety matters. P.S. I have included pictures of the lady that molested me. Her name is Sin Ting Tsang as well as her friend that threatened us. If you ever see either one or both on any of your tour groups, BEWARE!

I did a 7 day Eastern Canada bus tour with this company. Before I go into great detail, here is a…read moregeneral observation of my week on a bus tour: Most of the tourists were of Asian descent whether directly from the continent, from Ontario or British Columbia. Out of 56 passengers, there were 7 non-asians (including the driver). When travelling to the Maritimes, its important to dress for warm and cool climate This trip is child friendly although I personally would not bring a child younger than 7 years old due to the length of time on the bus. With that being said, there were children on the bus as young as 1 years old with no inconvenience to the other tourists traveling. People on the bus can be very pushy (I.e. coming off the bus). We all come from different walks of life so not everyone is as mannerable or courteous. It is a guided tour but not a very rigid tour. There are some moments where you can do your own thing even if it's for a bit. Wifi on the bus and in hotels are not that great. Although attractions are optional, the tour is surrounded by them so there may be nothing to do/see if you opt out of it. If you opt out of the meal plan, the lunch/dinner time is 1 hour so stay within the area when getting food. Whether you purchase the meal plan or not, most of the food stops are Chinese buffets. To keep the seating plan fair, rotational seating is done daily so everyone sits in the front, middle and back of the bus by the end of the week. Go on this trip with an open mind because bus trips are not for everyone. I was satisfied and pleased with hotel selections For a family of 3 we paid $1599 (not including the attractions and/or meal plan). This is roughly what we would pay if going to Cuba. We had a great time and learned and seen a lot. For this price, I cannot complain at all.

I cannot say enough great things about Discovery Tours and our guide for the day, Tim…read more We stopped in the area for the day on our way to Toronto and decided to do the Undiscovered Winery Tour...we couldn't be more happy with our decision. Our guide Tim picked us up at the Fallsview Casino, which was convenient for us, before we picked up one more group of 2. The small group of us (4 plus Tim) was just the right size. Tim was very knowedgeable both about wine and the Niagra region. He took the time to get to know each of us and what tastes were like in wine. We stopped at 4 wineries (all were equally delicious, although I'd have to say my favorite was the red Ice Wine from Vineland) and each time Tim brought us inside, introduced us to the staff, and helped offer suggestions based on what he had learned about us. We also learned the proper way to taste at our very first stop. This was a welcome change from other tours we have done in the past where the tour bus simply stops in the parking lot while you go inside, sample, then come out when you are ready to leave. This was much more personable and made for an excellent tour experience. In addition to the 4 wineries we stopped at the Upper Canada Cheese company to sample their fine cheeses, as well as stopped mid-day in Jordan Village for lunch. The tour was well structured and you had plenty of time to shop after each tasting as well if you wanted to (although none of the wineries/staff were pushy in any way whatsoever.) Overall it was a great day, great experience, and I would certainly consider other future tours with Discovery.

You can check the full schedule online, which makes it easy to plan around stops, and they even offer discounted attraction tickets when you book with them, super handy. The tour guides were friendly and helpful, and it made navigating the city feel totally doable, even with a kid in tow. That said, it was hot on the bus. When the top deck fills up and you're stuck inside without AC, it gets pretty stuffy fast. Also, the mic system didn't work on three of the buses we hopped on, so we had to use the little plug-in headphones (which, bless, kind of worked). All in all, I'd definitely recommend doing this early in your trip, it's a great way to figure out where you actually want to spend time. Think of it as a mobile preview of the city!

THIS IS LONG AND YOU SHOULD READ IT. BUT IF YOU'RE LIKE ME AND JUST LIKE TO GET TO THE POINT,…read moreSKIP THE STORY AND JUST READ THE LAST LINE. Please be wary of this company. I hired "LUXURY" Coach to bring guests from Toronto to a cottage pool party on Georgian Bay. Leave from Ossington Station at 10am and leave the cottage at 9:30pm. When booking they suggested that paying cash was an option to avoid taxes which I agreed to but they put the deposit to secure the booking on my credit card. The arrangement was that I was suppose to pay the driver cash at the cottage because I was the host and arriving 2 days earlier. That was fine. Out of 17 expected passengers only 7 were taken because others found a way up and had the option to take the coach back. Knowing the driver would be waiting all this time I told the booking woman he was welcome to stay in the cottage and relax since the party was outside. Upon arrival I asked a guest to invite the driver down, he returned saying "He wants his money an he'll stay in the bus". Again, not an issue to be because it's 1pm, he's only leaving in 8.5 hours! Some guests had to return to the city so they drove. My property is 20 acres, my driveway is 500 ft with a real parking lot for at least 8 cars on the first level and the same at the second level. When guest were leaving around 5 they came back to inform me the bus driver had moved into the entrance and would not let anyone leave the property. Note that he chose to trap people rather than walk down and speak to me personally to resolve "HIS SITUATION". I am 53 years old, my 4 bedroom cottage is on 20 acres with a 50ft pool. I am not trying to stiff someone out of a $1500 bill which was done so people wouldn't drink and drive. This bully, physically threatening move of taking my guests hostage to be paid made me lose it. I walked up furious, asked the driving what kind of idiot or thug does this to get paid (actually I was yelling and swearing) -- I was told he was their best driver and so great with clients and passengers. Well I guess they've hired ex-convicts for their lesser drivers if this is their gold standard. I made him get the owner on his phone and was really angry that is was the driver's tactic the tactic - the owners response was "Well this is what you agreed to". I told him to forget the cash, put it on my credit card, and make it stop so my guests could leave. I was told the deal was to pay cash and that's what it's going to be. He also told me if he had to he would get in his car and come to collect his money personally. I told him I had 30 guys with me that could turn his bus over. Dramatic but we're 30 gay guys who work out to look good but the strength really comes through if needed - it was a great laugh when I got back to the pool and told them what I'd signed them up for. I hung up the phone and told the driver that if he didn't leave my property I would call the police. He left. A couple hours later the police showed up at my door saying they'd had a complaint about not being paid. After I told them this story and they saw a bunch of 40-50 year olds in a cottage they didn't quite understand why they were there. I guess "Luxury Coach" is more accustom to dealing with teenager parties than executive events. Don't let the pretty leather seats fool you as they fooled me. I went against my own rules and hired something I found through google. Ask someone for a referral and you won't have this experience. I have written one review in my entire life and that was for a terrible hotel in Thailand. I have better things to do. But this was such a bad experience that it would irresponsible not to share. I had a "calm" second call from the owner - who got gangster and threaten to collect his money and who can't be directly contacted through the website. As I client I expect a written email formal response to an awful situation, not calls from the Sopranos. I'm writing this because this disaster was on June 18th where I offered to make the full payment on my visa. On the 19th I got a call from the owner who would, AGAIN, not take my Visa for payment. He wasn't rational, he wouldn't discuss it like a professional and I literally told him I would speak to him and deal with it in the city when I returned to the city on the 23rd. As expected, the calm guy who wanted to be paid got upset when I wasn't delivering cash. But I see today (on the 20th) that my credit card has been charged for the full amount. I don't care they got their money for terrible service and behaviour I have never experience in my life. I am paying the $1500 so I can write about my experience. Instead of resolving an issue that never would have escalated if his driver had 5 seconds of sense to walk 50ft and speak me, this would never have happened.DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PROFESSIONAL CAPABILITY THEY CLAIM TO DEAL WITH THE SIMPLEST ISSUE. IMAGINE IF YOU HOSTED 30 CLIENTS
