Guided North America Tours

The tour to Eastern Canada was a very interesting experience. It brought back memories of high school French . The tour was planned perfectly. There was plenty of excursions, but not so much that one didn’t have free time. Clare Martin, Rachel Epple and Grant each added their professional experience and genuine kindness towards the perfection. The handbook and online app guided also throughout the trip Each city, the tour took the travelers to offered something of special interest. The food , the friendly people and the adventures all made the trip worth the money and time spent. There were a few dislikes but not ones that ruined the trip. Thanks HCC for offering the opportunity to travel with you and for the convenience of being close to home. If rating on a scale of 10, the rating would be 9.8. My memorable moment is hard to narrow but I truly enjoyed Montreal. To narrow down from Montreal, it would be eating at Jardin Nelson. Excellent suggestion by the ladies -Rosemary, Kim and Char I am looking forward to traveling again with HCC and Collette! Thanks for the memories!

Did not care for grand Hyatt. American Air was difficult to navigate. Everything else was great!

We were only able due to a health emergency to complete the land tour of five days. It was excellent. Tessa Moore was the perfect tour guide. Knowledgable, kind, patient, and so very helpful when my partner had a serious health emergency. We missed the cruise, but were fortunate that Holland America had a capable doctor to handle the emergency.

Wonderful itinerary! SD and WY have quite different geography from where we live so quite beautiful and unusual from SE PA. Loved all we saw.

Niagra Falls from the Canadian side was amazing. The city tours gave us a good overview of each municipality.. The Museum of Canadian History was terrific. We really enjoyed the Botanical Center in Montreal.

Having traveled with Colette before, this trip lived up to my expectations. We kept busy, but had time to do things on our own or relax. I appreciated the smaller (22 people) group. We spent two days on Yellowstone. We almost covered everything. My favorite was the Grand Prismatic geyser. Our tour guide knew the best way to cover each site. Had I done Yellowstone on my own, I think we would have needed more days or we wouldn’t have seen as much. Our tour guide was able to add more to the trip because everyone was on time. He was thinking if us and future trips as well. I loved everything we did. It was my first time rafting on a river. Montana is beautiful! Because of the wildfires in Canada, our sunsets were beautiful, too.

Outstanding tour with a great travel group. I appreciated having two days in Yellowstone National Park as there is just so much to see there. Our tour manager, Michael Hepler, did an excellent job sharing his insights and some tricks that made the experience even more enjoyable. We had a side trip to First People's Buffalo Jump State Park that was also a high point. The small group size (22 people) also helped us to get the most out of the trip.

The boat tour on the St Lawerence. I would like to suggest optional tours for some of the free time. For example- after the walking tour in old town Montreal we took a Lyft to the Botanical Gardens. There is a tram that people could see the far reaches of the park easily. There would still be time to return for the final dinner. (Not everyone has a need to shop everywhere).

Lake Louise, stunning, breath taking. It was the most beautiful location. The water was stunning, the view of the mountains and glacier were also stunning. Words early can’t discribe it. It has to be experience by oneself.

loved the whole tour & our tour manager Maryse was phenomenal & so was our bus driver Clint !! Hotels were great , food was awesome & the scenic views & parks were gorgeous!! great trip !!

I truly enjoyed the sugar shack! We had the best breakfast before learning how sap is turned into maple syrup, maple butter, and maple taffy. Taste testing the strength was very neat! I also really liked the Thousand Island boat cruise and the Niagara Falls/ NOTL days. Both were very exciting! Our Tour Manager Clare was wonderful- she showed us the beautiful sites, immersed us in the local culture and allowed us free time to explore.

Walking on the glacier was a thrilling experience. It was beautiful despite cold and rain.

This was a great trip. Loved the historical sharing done by Ryan and experts at various sites. Grateful for the safe driving by Josh. I highly recommend it! One suggestion - please use a bigger font on the name tags.

All the connections from hotel to ferry to islands worked out well. I was disappointed in the lobster dinner because the food was just lukewarm - not hot. Our 2nd hotel seemed old and dated compared to 1st hotel. But the Breakfasts at 2nd hotel were amazing. Loved the fresh fruit options.

Our trip started in Fairbanks, and I really enjoyed the hotel it had a very nice view of the river (and boats going by), trees and flowers. Enjoyed going on the Riverboat Discovery and seeing the Chena village. After Fairbanks, we took the much anticipated train from Fairbanks to Denali and the views of the terrain was awesome and enjoyed the blueberry pancakes in the dining car. We enjoyed Denali by taking a hike to Horseshoe Lake Trail and seeing the mirrored lake, and then the tundra bus trip saw bear with her cub, moose, dall sheep. We went to Ta;keetna and seeing the ranger station where they showed those attempting the hike to Denali and the museum. The highlight of the trip was going from Anchorage to Whittier to go on the glacier cruise. We enjoyed the view of the glaciers, saw a few otters, and experienced the calving of the glaciers. It was an awesome and enjoyable trip.

Train ride from Fairbanks was great and was the Glacier Cruise.

I found each city unique on its own. Personally I enjoyed the small horse farm and the sugar sack was great fun. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy the cities with their individual special interests.

Truly a visit to God's country. Our tour guide Jovanka was exception in explaining locations and their heritage. I was thrilled to experience stepping on Athabasca Glacier and holding the Canadian flag. Unbelievable sights, colors and abundance of wildlife. It was all totally euphoric.

It would be too hard to pick just one. I enjoyed the entire sightseeing experience, getting to see different things and many things I've always heard about but not seen in person. Now I have seen them, and experienced them with a really great group of people, and excellent tour manager and driver. Thank you Collette for the experience. It will be always remembered.

Itinerary was well done.
